Neutral so far. I had ankle replacement almost 10 months ago and I am not yet as good as I was pre-surgery. Still have pain and swelling, range of motion limited and still walking with a limp. I have done a lot of PT, do my exercises regularly and am now trying alternative therapy including dry needling and shock therapy. Everything I read said recovery was a year and my PT said it's more like 18 months. Time will tell. I'm a 73 year old female, active, diabetic and my BMI is 23. I had osteoarthritis and bone on bone in the ... read more

Dr. Ertl and his staff are amazing. My husband has had a knee replacement and an ankle repair with Dr. Ertl. As my husband's support person, Dr. Ertl explained exactly what the surgery and recovery involved. Their pre-surgery program is the best, it's amazing what a difference it makes post surgery. Sauk Prairie Healthcare is a fantastic care center, we're thankful to live in the Sauk Prairie area and have this facility available to us. The pre-surgery and post-surgery staff were so attentive to both my husband as the patien... read more

He explained every option possible to correct my ankle pain, which allowed me to make an informative decision. On day of surgery, my wife and I were informed of everything that would be done and what to expect after surgery. Everything was explained in detail and in terms which we could understand, so we knew exactly what to expect. After 7 months my ankle is doing great.

After extreme disappointment in a competitor’s orthoepic department, with multiple visits, I was recommended to Sauk Prairie Healthcare. Dr. Andrew Ertle, ankle specialist, was my physician who made my first visit a smooth, and actually fun experience! His listening skills were off the chart and he truly cared about what my concerns. He went above and beyond making sure I understood the challenges with my ankle. Dr. Ertle and his surgical team showed compassion and genuine concern with my surgical experience. Now, I have a n... read more

Dr. Ertl repaired my ankle from a hockey injury in the fall of 2020. It was, from what I understand, a situation where several chunks of my tibia needed to be pieced back together like some disgusting puzzle. Dr. Ertl took his time to arrange and rearrange the pieces to create the best possible outcome. The injury was significant, and I am still recovering - as expected. I will be returning to him for an ankle fusion in the near future. I highly recommend Dr. Ertl and his team.

Dr. Ertl has done surgery on both my husband and daughter in the last 3 months. He has been great with both of them. Developed a plan for their specific issues, lifestyle and recovery needs. He is personable and explained everything well. Surgery, pain and recovery have all been very well managed.
