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.

Great communication and easy to discuss procedures and results with. He explains everything so it can be understood by someone without a medical degree.
He knows his job! Great bedside manner!
Great bed side mamner. Was very kind and informative.
Friendly and is willing to explain so you understand.
I so love Dr Liljenquist and his staff. They are kind, helpful and cheerful. Dr Liljenquist educates and helps you prepare before your surgery so that recovery and healing is easier. Most of my friends and family who have had knee replacements were not instructed to strengthen their leg muscles and get the knee as flexible as possible before the surgery. IT MATTERS!!! My recovery was not as hard as most of my friends and family. I highly recommend Dr Liljenquist!!
Very knowledgeable, pleasant, and patient physician. He always has the best advice.
The best. Listens, explains, personable, addresses concerns, very experienced, and super knowledgeable. The best.
I have had his help in the past & he has always been excellent.
