I was recommended by a good friend to come be seen here for my hand and wrist that was very bothersome. I had an initial visit, then came back the following week for a cortisone shot. After determining that method did not work for me, I scheduled to have an in office procedure. I have never had any sort of procedure done before, so to say I was nervous was an understatement. The staff were very patient at answering my questions and making sure I was calm going into it.
The procedure went very well and I was explained how to properly care for my hand and what to expect as recovery goes. I would highly recommend Dr. Bershbeck! He and his team were absolutely phenomenal and I would suggest him to anyone!

The best experience I've ever had with a clinic and doctor. Before I finished the first line of the getting to know you form my name was called. The person that brought me in was kind and asked all the important questions before the doctor was going to see me. I had x-rays from an ER visit and they said they would contact the hospital and have them sent over. Within 10 minutes the doctor came in and said they looked at the x-rays and I wouldn't need surgery.
Definitely the best first thing someone can say when that's what you're worried about. I can't say anything beyond the visit I had but I'm at ease right now and will always remember the experience in a positive way.

This is the place to go for all your Orthopedic needs. I just had foot surgery from Dr. Caporusso and couldn't be more pleased. Chippewa Valley Orthopedics is the most professional organization I have ever seen for health care. I traveled 1 1/2 hours to have my surgery done. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone. In my opinion, they are the diamond in the rough for your Orthopedic needs. Thanks again to everyone.

After Mayo misdiagnosed my ACL tear as a sprain, I was recommend to CVOSM by a friend in the healthcare field. She said, "If you want the best go to to CVOSM. They are the team physicians for UWEC athletics, and they are excellent." She was absolutely correct. I have had three surgeries (two ACL reconstructions and one Stiff Big Toe repair) with CVOSM -- all with great outcomes. The entire staff is friendly and welcoming. The professionalism and knowledge of the doctors is outstanding. I highly recommend CVOSM to anyone in need of an orthopedic specialist.

I had two years of ineffective care from the orthopedics department at Mayo then when my LAST shot wore off in my shoulder I went to Chippewa Valley Orthopedics for a second opinion. I called on a Tuesday. Seen on a Friday with a diagnosis and planned a surgery at my convenience. They used the same imaging Mayo said showed nothing to diagnose and then went in and actually fixed more. They had a PA who came to bring me back at my first visit who had reviewed everything with the surgeon. all in 72 hours. Schedule, records from Mayo, review. just wow.
I am extremely happy with the care from Dr Crow and his team of PAs, PTs, and nurses. This is all after the fact that the amenity and service in the front office with getting registered and scheduled was smooth. Come here over Mayo if you can.

Simple words on paper can not describe my positive experience with Chippewa Valley Orthopedics. From the appointment staff, surgery schedulers, to providers all were very accommodating during an unplanned hip surgery while visiting "home" from rural Alaska. I was given direction and follow through until able to return north of the arctic circle - where specialized health care is unavailable. My confidence remains high for this practice and the expertise within. Thank-you.
