Your Joint Journey

Joint replacement from Central Wisconsin's only comprehensive, coordinated joint replacement program

Joint replacement can extend and improve individuals’ quality of life using time-tested, effective materials and procedures. It can help alleviate pain and allow a return to daily activities.

The doctors at Stevens Point Orthopedics have been performing hip, knee, and shoulder replacements for more than 20 years. Our joint replacement care coordinator, Shawn Dombrowski, has worked with more than 1,800 patients over the last seven years.

Shawn serves as a “medical concierge” for patients, ensuring they don’t have to go it alone, or be shuttled from staff member to staff member.

Shawn meets with patients prior to surgery, talks them through the process, helps them acquire medical equipment, meets with them in the hospital, and follows up with patients for several weeks following surgery.

She also gives patients a cell number to contact her directly with questions or concerns – with no phone tree or waiting on hold.

No other program in the area takes a more personalized, comprehensive approach to every facet of your joint replacement, from initial evaluation to full recovery.

Our unmatched experience and our commitment to your health and well-being means you can trust Stevens Point Orthopedics with your joint replacement – whether you live in Marshfield, Mosinee, Waupaca, Plover, Stevens Point, or anywhere in between.

Our Experts Are Ready To Help.

Shawn is very knowledgeable, and no question is too basic for her to answer. I left feeling she covered every detail, and I have complete confidence in her and Doctor Williams [for my joint replacement].

Three months out from shoulder surgery and the results are great! No longer have pain and have regained full range of motion. Dr. Troyer is a great surgeon.

Shawn is wonderful! I’ve been under her care for a couple of surgeries and she is caring, professional, knowledgeable, and very kind. She is a genuine asset to the clinic.

Dr. Haemmerle is an excellent doctor! He replaced my knee and will soon be doing surgery on a finger. He is caring and knowledgeable and listens to what you have to say!

Whatever concerns or frustrations I felt during this lengthy process of shoulder surgery, Dr. Troyer has eased my concerns and frustrations. His whole team is exceptional, however his knowledge, patience and experience is beyond words.

I’ve had Dr. Williams replace both of my hips and am entirely pleased with the results. I never thought that I would ever consent to a hip replacement but the pain got to the point where I was left with no option. Dr. Williams re-assured me that the procedure would give me the relief that I needed and he was right.

Shawn is a professional in every way. She carefully explains details in a warm and caring fashion.

Shawn is very friendly and professional. Never makes me feel rushed. Oh, and she really knows her stuff!

Dr. Troyer is a terrific surgeon. He did a total reverse shoulder surgery on me and the result is amazing, basically pain free and range of motion is returning quicker than I thought possible. He is the best, I highly recommend him.

Having a doctor/surgeon that through their experience, knowledge and understanding makes you feel your well-being and health is his primary goal is priceless. Having complete faith in your doctor after surgery and having them walk the road to recovery with you I believe is crucial to a strong, healthy healing process. Dr. Joshua Troyer gives me that piece of mind.
