Great Dr caring an professional i am really going to miss him
Great Dr
The best orthopedist that I know. He always helps us and it’s a pleasure to go see him.
He’s the greatest doctor!
I have been a patient of Dr. Dearolf for several years, he has been one of the most professional and outstanding surgeons I have encountered. He consistently provides exceptional care for his patients, always going the extra mile to ensure they feel comfortable throughout the entire process. He takes the time to explain everything thoroughly, making sure you are well informed and confident every step of the way. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking excellent rehabilitation and surgical care.
I am so, so sad that Dr. Dearolf is retiring in a few weeks. I just saw him on July 29 and asked him if he was going to continuing working one day a week, and then two days later got your email that he and Dr. Markmann are leaving. I am so upset. Dr. Dearolf has been my orthopedist for decades.
I’ve been receiving treatment from Dr. Dearolf for over 20 years. He is an outstanding surgeon, always responsive and caring.
Fantastic doctor..
Dr.Dearolf is a warm and professional doctor.He makes you feel comfortable throughout the visit.
