Dr. Joseph Nessler received his orthopedic training at the Rochester Mayo Clinic. He has a specialty practice in hip and knee joint replacement as well as revision joint replacement. Dr. Nessler joined St. Cloud Orthopedic Association in 1991, and is a member of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons as well as the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons.
Dr. Nessler is a consultant for Stryker Orthopedics, a worldwide leader in Orthopedics implants and Robotics for Orthopedic surgery. Currently, he consults in the development of new surgical techniques, clinical testing of new implant designs as well as computer and robotically assisted surgery. Dr. Nessler has developed a muscle-sparing hip replacement technique in conjunction with Stryker. In July, 2004 computer assisted navigation was incorporated into his hip surgeries. Navigation in knee surgeries began in January 2005. Robotic assisted surgery in conjunction with muscle sparing hip and knee techniques now allows Dr. Nessler to offer quick recovery and outpatient hip and knee replacement procedures to patients that qualify. Dr. Nessler is currently involved in developing methods for using 3D computer models and specialized pre-operative imaging to individualize each patient’s hip replacement surgery to maximize function after surgery.
Very pleasant and gave a detailed explanation which I appreciated.
I waited over an hour past my scheduled appointment. Not a sorry for the delay and he saw me for maybe 5 minutes.
Dr Nessler took the time to explain to me the risks of surgery and also what I can expect for outcomes based on his experience.
Very professional and thorough. Glad he is willing to move ahead with surgery
Top of the line.
I didn't see Dr. Nessler for this visit, but Dr. Nessler and his staff always provide me with the best information and care.
I have had Dr. Nessler for hip and knee surgeries. He is an excellent doctor and has kept me going. He is very honest in telling you what he has to do and the risks involved.
Pleasant and informative
He is so knowledgeable and he does amazing work! He replaced both of my hips and one knee. Dr.Nessler also replaced my dad’s knee in 1998 and he replaced it again in 2024, that’s unheard of. He is definitely a doctor you can trust.
Very competent
