As an old ICU and operating room nurse, I have worked with and have been the patient of countless physicians, especially orthopedic surgeons. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Detterline's professionalism and commitment to his patients. I highly recommend him.

Excellent surgeon and on a personal level as well. His assistant Megan Merckle is one of the best I’ve ever had at any doctor’s office. She is prompt excellent communication, always smiling and welcoming and great knowledge. Which is always willing to help. She is a great asset to this practice.

It would be 6 stars if they had them. He repaired my knee 11 years ago. He is now looking at a shoulder injury.
