Several of my friends have had knee replacements done by Dr. Sterba. All of them were happy with the results. After consulting with him this week, I liked his conservative approach and honesty.

He really knows what he’s doing. He explained the results of my x-rays in a way that’s easy to understand. He’s done two surgeries on me and I will recommend him to anyone looking for an orthopedic surgeon.

Dr. Sterba was outstanding. My hip surgery was life changing & he did an incredible job. I'm more than satisfied with his expertise & highly recommend him for anyone looking to get a hip replacement. I'm one year removed & back to doing all the same activities I did before I had my hip problems.
