Always a pleasure to see Dr. Stapleton and staff!
Dr. Stapleton spent time going over injury and how to rehabilitate it and take care of it post-healing. He is very knowledgable, communicative and helpful.
Dr Stapleton is so good with patients. He had done a knee surgery snd 2 shoulder surgeries on me and I am well pleased with the outcome. Josh, his PA , is great also. Josh really explains things well also and is so friendly and caring.
I saw Josh for my theee month injection to my left knee. Josh was very knowledgable and performed flawlessly with both the shot snd the follow on questions.
Dr. Stapleton is awesome. Great Doctor and a great man. He's funny, kind and caring for his patients. He's been my doctor for 26 years and has done 3 of my surgeries.
Ben seeing Dr Stapleton for 28 yrs now for me he’s one of the best
Love Dr Stapleton snd his PA.
