December 11, 2018Cathi M.Verified patient
I arrived in a great deal of pain and was treated so tenderly. Jordan, the PA, was very thorough in her description of what the procedures would be. I loved that my xrays could be done right there in the office. Dr. Eifler discussed my issues clearly and suggested a range of therapies. I felt included and well informed. I look forward to being treated by this office going forward.
October 31, 2018Cathi M.Verified patient

June 28, 2017Anne W.Verified patient
I was referred to Dr. Eifler by a pain doctor. I had been passed around to various doctors trying to get a solid diagnosis. Both Jordan (Dr. Eifler's assistant) and Dr. Eifler were professional and caring. Dr. Eifler knew right away how to handle my situation and had a plan for treatment. I was very relieved and thankful. I can't wait for surgery!
May 25, 2017Rhonda L.Verified patient
The wait was only 10 minutes in the waiting room and I was seen and out of the office 20 minutes after that. Dr Eifler and his P.A. we're both very good. They asked a lot of questions and addressed my concerns.

January 4, 2017Kenneth K.Verified patient
Loved the whole staff! Their passion and enthusiasm for what they do shines brightly, and I felt like I was in excellent hands from the moment I walked in to the moment I left (with my shoulder already starting to feel better). I would highly recommend them to anyone.
December 28, 2016Jami B.Verified patient
Dr. E is awesome because he listens and allows me the opportunity to say what I feel about planning my care and treatment, moving forward methodically... He and his staff are awesome, and I'm very lucky to have chosen this office for my needs... Thank so much to all of them..

Very insightful and fairly quick.
October 28, 2016Thomas M.Verified patient
It was nice to have a doctor that actually wanted to try and see what the problem is, instead of look at an x-ray and say nothing is wrong.
October 28, 2016Ashlee W.Verified patient
Dr. Eifler was very professional and took the time to examine me and explain the medical issue in great detail including a diagram and using a shoulder model. He presented each option with clarity and left the choice completely to me based on the information given. His Physicians assistant Jordan did a thorough job of asking questions prior to me seeing the doctor and also examined me. My experience at this office was a very good one and I came away with a confidence that I was well cared for.
October 12, 2016Virginia S.Verified patient

Dr. Eifler seemed super knowledgeable, relaxed and eager to help. He's friendly too. He is doing my meniscectomy next week. Hopefully everything will go well.
August 19, 2016Valerie P.Verified patient
Honestly, I could have used a more detailed diagnosis and some better therapeutic advice from Dr. Eifler for my badly swollen knee. I realize surgery is Dr. Eifler's main deal, but I'm new to knee injuries and chose him on the basis of being a joint specialist close to my home who took my insurance. In hindsight, perhaps I should have chosen a sport clinic or more therapeutically-inclined practice.
