Heidi D. - Spring Hill, FL

I had spine surgery done by Dr. Christopher Kepler.

I was visiting from Florida and went to see him and I was surprised that he scheduled me so quickly. Now, I am sure he pushed it up knowing I could only be in the Philadelphia area a short time. I was impressed with his level of care as well as that of his assistant.

Unfortunately, I could not come up as planned for my hip surgeries due to COVID-19 and I ended up getting the first hip replacement at UFHEALTH in Gainesville, a two-hour drive from our home (I originally was going to go to Tampa General which was closer to my home). I can't complain about the surgeon I had at UFHealth-in fact, his assistant worked with Dr. Kepler and was from the Philadelphia area.

Everyone I interacted with at Rothman Orthopaedics at Jefferson was professional and friendly. I would tell other patients in Florida considering Rothman Orthopaedics about my positive experience with them in Philadelphia.
