Dr J Yergler replaced my hip. Outpatient. Very good experience. I will be back some day for the other side.
Busy clinic but I don't feel like a number; been a patient for 4 years now. Dr. Yergler corrected a bad knee replacement with a revision and performed first time knee replacement on the other knee. He's a wealth of knowledge and experience! Pleasant bedside manner with nice staff. There's no other orthopedic doctor I would recommend! Mine was a tough case that he dove into and got me enjoying life again!
My experience has been amazing! I suffered for four months waiting for surgery scheduled for mid-May. I was encouraged by a friend who had had 2 knees done by Yergler to get a second opinion from him. I got an appt within 2 weeks, surgery was scheduled within the month. I am now recovering & am still 1 1/2 months from first scheduled surgery. I have an incision that is half the size of my husbands, I am able to bend past 90degrees, walking with a walker & at this writing am 4days post-op

They took care of my daughter after a ski injury. Very thankful for the quick treatment and kind words to make her feel comfortable. A long leg cast is never fun but she is in great hands!

Dr. Yergler performed my double knee replacements a couple years ago. He took time to explain everything pre- and was available post-surgery. My outcome has been outstanding, and I got my mobility back. He is the best orthopedic surgeon in our area having done so many of my friends' knee surgeries I've lost track. He has even fixed mistakes made by other surgeons in Michigan City and LaPorte.

Had more than "just" a total knee replacement. My entire right leg needed straightening and he managed to do it. 2 weeks after the surgery, I'm using a cane, working on walking without it, very pleased with my progress and my leg is straight for the first time in 3 years. Would recommend him to anyone requiring knee replacement. BTW, waiting for him for office appts. was understandable, my own surgery took longer than anticipated due to the complexity of straightening the leg. Nature of the beast due to the excellence of the work.

Dr. Yergler was great! I was released after six weeks for knee replacement. He told me what to expect after surgery and how much I was going to have to work to get it back to normal. I would recommond him for any orthopedic surgery

Best Experience I have ever had.
Dr. Yergler is wonderful, but wished office staff would have informed me that he did not participate with BCBS of Michigan.

I would like to acknowledge Dr. Jeffery Yergler and his commendable staff at Memorial hospital for performing my hip replacement surgery and following up post operation. They are cordial group of professionals who make patient comfort and satisfaction the cornerstone of their practice. Specifically, the RN, Chintin tended to my needs after the procedure. Needless to say, he is a very intelligent and experienced employee, with a good sense of humor. A hospital stay is never comfortable, but Dr. Yergler and Chintin gave me the assurance I needed while away from home. Overall, I would gladly recommend Dr. Yergler and his team to a friend or family member. Thank you!

I have found Dr. Yergler to be very knowledgeable and very easy to talk to.He answered all of my questions and explained what he had to do to correct the problem. The prosthesis had broken in the middle of the femur without breaking the femur. After surgery he was there to answer all questions and explained to my wife exactly how the surgery went. Since then we have had several post surgery followups and he has has taken the time to answer all of our questions.We find him to be quite friendly and very easy to talk to unlike some doctors we have dealt with. I sort of understand doctors as my father was a physician and I grew up knowing many doctors.
