Patient Reviews
Oct 06, 2020
I have always been impressed with Dr. Pelker. He is an excellent surgeon and helped me to maintain the health of my replacements knees so far for 18 years. I was only disappointed in the scars but that is it. He helped me to walk again and for that I will always be grateful.

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?
