A native of Idaho Falls and a proud alumnus of Skyline High School, Dr. Joseph Liljenquist enjoys working and living in his hometown with his wonderful wife and two children. As an avid Spartan Race competitor, Dr. Liljenquist understands how important it is to stay active and have the ability to do the activities you enjoy. He will listen to your needs, include you in his diagnosis and treatment decisions, and welcome your input and feedback each step of the way.
Dr. Liljenquist is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon dedicated to providing you with exceptional orthopedic care. He believes in meeting patients’ needs through comprehensive evaluation and individualized treatment designed to help them achieve an active, pain-free lifestyle. He combines leading-edge techniques with proven traditional methods to provide his patients with the best orthopedic care possible.
As a graduate of George Washington University Medical School, with more than 10,000 hours of surgical experience in the operating room, you can be assured his skills are exceptional. In addition, he completed a Fellowship program in arthroscopic surgery and joint replacement to complement his broad experience in general orthopedics. Because of his knowledge, experience, and skills, he can provide his patients with top quality care.
He works to develop a partnership with his patients. On his part, this begins with listening. One of the most important things he needs to know is how the physical problem affects the patient’s life. He develops a dialogue, through which his patients understand the diagnostic process, their own unique problem, their treatment choices, and the recovery process.
He informs his patients of all the treatment options they have for an injury, and what the advantages and disadvantages are of each option. Surgery is only one of the many treatment options. Many of his patients never need to have surgery – many times rehabilitation of the injured area is all that is needed. If a patient does require surgery, he will inform the patient of why surgery is required, what will be done in the surgery, and what to expect as an eventual outcome after surgery.
Dr. Liljenquist traveled to Haiti after the devastating 2010 earthquake. He was able to treat many orthopedic problems for the people in the city of Leogane. Leogane is about 20 miles from Port Au Prince and was at the epicenter of the earthquake. He treated many people at a make-shift orthopedic clinic set up outside of a “tent” hospital but was also able to get out into the countryside in order to reach the people unable to travel to the clinic. He helped many of the earthquake survivors and enjoyed the time he was able to dedicate to the Haitian people when they were in such great need.

Dr. Liljenquist was very thorough and explained exactly what tendons and muscles were involved in my injury, what the best treatment was, and how long the recovery would be. He took his time, and made sure I completely understood everything. He was very cordial and personable. GREAT EXPERIENCE!!
Dr Liljenquist is the best orthopedic doctor I have ever seen. I’ve had multiple surgeries on shoulders and knees. He is great at explaining what’s going on inside your body and explaining the various avenues for treatment. He is very friendly and positive. Each time I have been In the office I have seen him and not his PA or Nurse which is one thing I like in a doctor. He takes a personal interest in you.
Awesome doctor. Awesome surgeon.Very caring and friendly.
Loved seeing Dr Joe again today and learning that it might take awhile longer for the hematoma to completely dissolve. Just a bad bruise but didn’t damage the kneecap.
Excellent communication skills and detailed information that I can easily understand and follow his instructions. I have chosen him for both of my Total Knee Replacement Surgeries in 2023 and 2026. I am extremely pleased with the outcome and I continue to put my trust in his skills.
Exceptionally thorough; explains the situation very clearly; listens; outlines options and leaves it for the patient to decide. We highly recommend him.
I always feel heard. And I appreciate Dr. Liljenquist's knowledge.
I was so worried about my shoulder when I went in today. Dr. Liljenquist was so welcoming and took time to explain what was going on in great detail. His staff was also fantastic.
Dr. Liljenquist is so knowledgeable! From his kind approach to his experience as an Orthopedic doctor, I always know that I’m in great hands when I have a concern. His attention to detail is spot on. I continually recommend him to anyone looking for an Orthopedic doctor!
Wow. The Dr. was supportive, knowledgeable of so many things, and incredibly friendly (approachable) without judgment. The staff and nurses were very friendly and empathetic. 5 Stars all around!!!
