Dr. Eric K. Bartel was outstanding from start to finish. He took the time to explain my ankle injury and the surgery in a way that was easy to understand, answered all of my questions, and made me feel confident that I was in good hands. He was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about my recovery. The surgery went smoothly, and I truly appreciate the excellent care I received from both Dr. Bartel and his team. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled orthopedic surgeon. Thank you for helping me get back on the road to recovery!

Overall, considering the circumstances, it couldn’t have been a more pleasant experience. Dr. Bartel and his team were extremely attentive, explained everything and took time to answer questions. Their follow up after the procedure has been outstanding. I can’t say enough good things about the total experience. They definitely made a tough day a lot easier.

It is Dr. Bartel’s primary goal to get patients back quickly to a pain-free, active lifestyle with minimal to no restrictions. Surgery is only an option when necessary, with physical rehabilitation and/or anti-inflammatory therapies (such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), cortisone or viscosupplementation injections) used when possible.
A Fox Valley resident for the last 25 years, Dr. Bartel actively supports the community and participates in various fundraisers and events.
