Peter Hoepfner

The Dr. was nice. He went through the exam rather quickly and gave me a cortisone shot for what he diagnosed as dupuytren's contracture. I have a lump in my palm and he said it didn't have anything to do with my swollen knuckle, the lump or my trigger finger. I thought he seemed knowledgeable, but didn't address the bump on my palm in a satisfactory way. We'll see shortly. Update: I was wrong. 5 months after surgery for removal of my lump and the Dupuytren's contracture, he left me with a very stiff middle finger, terrible pain in my hand and 10 times the scar tissue that he removed. I am screwed. There is nothing that can be done except wait for who knows how long for my hand to recover and that is a big IF. steer clear of Dr. Hoefpner.

OK, but not impressed. I came to him with a wrist pain, and he stated that this is because of an onset arthritis, but he never suggested any remedy to alleviate the pain. Luckily, I am a lifelong athlete and personal trainer and can modify my exercise routine to reduce the pain. I also couldn't help feeling that during my visit he was like in a hurry. I wonder why he had only one Google review before mine, although this is not important, just a thought. Not impressed...

3 months post-surgery I am 90% back to full mobility and use. I couldn't be happier with the results of his work!

My 14 year old broke his wrist playing soccer. Dr. Hoepfner was kind, direct and a calming influence for my son throughout the process. He was positive and personable and brought a healing result on time and on target!!

I was 8 weeks out from my bodybuilding show and I tore my distal bicep tendon. I was completely lost on who to go to, as I had my future in the sport and my career to be concerned about. Dr. Hoepfner did an amazing job repairing it, and his professionalism mixed with his kind and motivating personality helped me get through the process. I couldn't have asked for a better doctor, and I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs someone they can trust to help them!

Dr Hoepfner explained everything about my condition and was very helpful. The staff at IBJI is also very helpful and caring. I know that I am receiving the best care possible.

Professional and easy to talk with. Took the time and gave me answers to all my questions. His PA Catherine also took time with me to answer more questions after the appointment, and returned a phone call promptly to answer even more questions that popped in my head.

Dr. Hoepfner was thorough, extremely careful, thoughtfully educated me regarding the options for my treatment and the outcome was better than anticipated. My recovery has been quicker than described.

Walked in without an appointment and they were able to quickly get me registered and taken back to see the doctor. Intern did the initial exam and the X-ray tech quickly took me for X-rays. Then the doctor came in and reviewed and did his own exam. Everyone was very nice, patient and friendly. Even though I didn’t have an appointment the doctor still took his time, answered my questions and provided directions for follow up care. It was a great experience.

I recently had cubital tunnel surgery. Dec 3 will be a month of no systems I previously had for 3 years I am beyond happy with the surgery and after surgery of the removal of stitches as Catherine was so gentle with me . Definitely would recommend this place

Dr. Hoepfner operated on my hand for trigger finger. I had immediate relief and very little pain afterward. He was caring and took the time to answer all my questions. I had no complications and am very satisfied with the results.

I had emergency hand surgery while on vacation and followed up with Dr Hoepfner when I returned home. He and his PA Catherine did a fantastic job of taking over my care and monitoring my progress. The team is efficient, friendly, professional and knowledgeable.

I'm looking for a hand surgeon to do minimally Invasive Carpal Tunnel Surgery. I called and asked first if they had a surgeon that did that type of surgery. I also wanted a cortisone shot for my hand and trigger finger until I'm able to get time for the surgery. A PA Catherine met with me first and was very thorough. I asked about the minimally invasive surgery and they do not do it. After chosing this Dr because of the receptionist telling me this my first reaction was that I just wanted time off work for no good reason. However,I continued the visit and the Dr did the cortisone shots. He took time to answer my questions about his "mini" version of Carpal Tunnel Surgery and the reasons he does it this way. It's quite possible I may be back as I was impressed by everyone,besides getting the wrong info upfront. I'm looking for a hand surgeon to do minimally Invasive Carpal Tunnel Surgery.

Dr. Hoepfner was professional and knowledgeable, once I got to see him. Apt time 1pm actual interview 2pm. I'm also not impressed with the protocal and the word "surgery". My incision is on my little finger and they are treating it as if I was having open heart surgery. Just too much b.s. to get this taken care of. Not sure if I'm going to go thru all the steps it takes. Dr. Hoepfner was professional and knowledgeable, once I got to see him. Apt time 1pm actual interview 2pm.

Outstanding professionals!

Very thorough, knowledgeable, and. Compassionate.

Love this doctor he is so friendly and takes the time to explain everything to you and next steps.

Dr. Hoepfner was great. He knew exactly what I needed for my pain. Very personable and professional. The entire staff it was great.

Minimal wait, pleasant staff, tests (X-rays) were done and read in 5 minutes and Dr Hoepfner did a great job in diagnosing my problem. Highly recommend him and his team!

Dr. Hoepfner couldn’t have been more pleasant and efficient. He told me what he felt needed to be done, asked my thoughts and permission. Told me what was going to happen and how it would feel. Continued to explain as procedure was in progress until done. I appreciated his patience, clear explanations and follow up instructions. Thank you.

I ruptured my distal tendon working out. Dr. Hoepfner was a second opinion for me, and am I glad I went to him. The first surgeon wanted to "anchor the tendon via stitches. Dr. Hoepfner suggested a button technique without the screw. The surgery was done within a week, and I have been in therapy for 6 weeks. I have 100% of my strength back and have surpassed previous Occupational therapy goals. The recovery time was amazing. Small scar that is fading. Highly recommended.

Dr. Hoepfner is an excellent surgeon. I had elbow surgery this past February to repair/reattach a torn tendon. I suffered from this injury for a good year. I was so worried that it would not heal but I’m happy to say I have full use of my arm now and I’m so thankful that I chose Dr. Hoepfner. He explained everything to me, a few times and gave me the confidence to place my trust in him. I am also really grateful for his staff; PA Catherine Dinklenburg and MA Lesley Martinez were wonderful.

Told me he didnt want to operate on me because of personal conflict when I had never even met him.

Dr Hoepfner is always pleasant, and accommodating. Very professional and informative.and insightful. A really top Doctor.

Dr. Peter Hoepfner is the best ever. He listens to every word and that makes you comfortable. He is kind and compassionate. He is a very good physician. I highly recommend him.

Dr Hoepfner performed wrist surgery for me. He spent plenty of time with me on the original appointment and kept my husband informed immediately after surgery. His practice was clean, well staffed, and on-time. I'd highly recommend his services.

I saw Dr. Hoepfner for two years for advanced arthritis with bone spurs in my (CMC) right hand thumb base joint. He was very friendly, walked me through my x-rays, allowed me two cortisone shots (that really didn’t help with the pain) and explained in detail the surgery process. I was apprehensive about surgery, but I am so glad I had it. He was spot on about the recovery time and I am very pleased with the outcome. Dr. Hoepfner and his staff are amazing! Highly recommend!!!

I tore my distal bicep tendon clean off the bone in 2016. I selected Dr. Hoepfner based on reviews on this website and the fact that my procedure was reviewed by a previous patient. I would recommend Dr. Hoepfner 100% without hesitation. He knows is stuff, and speaks with you on a level that you will understand. He has a great bedside manor. His staff and team are great very professional and business like and treat you like family. 3 yrs. later my arm is stronger than before the accident.

I have been a patient of Dr. Hoepfner for two separate issues I had with my hands. In both cases I could not have been more pleased with the results. He was thorough in providing exactly what was being done and his explanation of why it was necessary, eliminating my fears. He is a caring doctor who I would not hesitate to seek his help.

I am so grateful that I was referred to Dr. Hoepfner after sustaining a severe shoulder injury. I did not want to rush into surgery and instead of pushing me Dr Hoepfner gave me a time frame in which to decide. That time frame gave me the opportunity to see if my shoulder could heal on it's own and it did. I can't say enough about how much that meant to me. I had a good recovery of the use of my arm and shoulder after physical therapy. There are certain injuries where surgery is absolutely necessary, though, and I don't want to imply that surgeries can always be avoided.

Dr Hoepfner is a caring physician who is extremely intelligent and has a great “ bedside manner”. I appreciate his insights as it relates to patient care. Highly recommend!

Dr. Hoepfner, has done 2 separate surgeries on my right hand. The 1st one was to transfer a tendon from the 1st 2 fingers to the last 2 fingers which were completely useless. Then he replaced 4 knuckles on my right hand which were very damaged due to my severe RA. In my opinion he is an artist who has given me back the ability to use my right hand and lead a full life.

I went to Dr. Hoefner with the problem of losing feeling in my thumb, middle and ring finger. He said that surgery was the best option for the ulnar nerve and carpel tunnel . He did a wonderful job on the surgery and within six months I have all the feeling back in my fingers. He was always on time and very professional. Did not have to wait long for the appointments.

Dr Hoephner is a wonderful doctor. I am very pleased with his knowledge, and my experience. He has performed three surgeries on my wrist, to help it get back to normal, following a fall and subsequent break of the scaphoid. He performed a vascular bone graft, that saved the bone, and allowed it to heal normally.

Dr. Hoepfner had the task of putting my badly broken right wrist, and left elbow back together after I fell in September. Today is January 14, and I am completely healed. His surgical precision is second to none. I would trust him with anyone or anything. He knows what he’s doing.

I was treated for Bilateral Distal Bicep Rupture in both my arms. My results have been fantastic and have no limitations what so ever. Dr. Hoepfner's bedside manner was excellent. He seemed genuinely concerned about my injury and my path to recovery. I never felt rushed during an appointment. He answered every question I had and made me feel confident that I picked the right surgeon. His PA Leigha Carr was just as good and very helpful.

Dr. Hoepfner did my second carpal tunnel and pulley release surgery. I won't comment on the first one, but needless to say, I went to a different doctor for the second. He was excellent. There never was a problem with being left in the office waiting forever. Also, his surgery was excellent and he was very much up on the most current techniques. I had no issues with recovery and within weeks my hand was almost as good as new. I would highly recommend him.

While it wasn't pleasant to have to deal with a fractured wrist, I was VERY pleased with the professional assistance provided by Dr. Hoepfner and Illinois Bone and Joint Institute. He performed surgery to repair my distal radius fracture. His demeanor was calm and caring. He and his team put me at ease. They explained all the details of the surgery and recovery, and provided all the post-surgical support I needed. I highly recommend Dr. Hoepfner.

I was very pleased with my experience with Dr. Huoepfner. His bedside manner speaks volumes in his character. He explained in detail all he was going to have to do to fix my elbow. I would recommend him a million times over.

Dr Hopfner takes his time with you and listens to all of your concerns. His PA is also excellent. They speak to you like you are family. Dr Hoepfner did an excellent job on my thumb surgery. I am glad I did it. After 2 1/2 months, I already have full mobility.

OK, but not impressed. Although he never said that, I felt that was in a hurry and had no time for me. Luckily, I did not have a big problem, just sought some advice to alleviate some discomfort, not a bad pain.

Dr. Hoepfner cared for my shattered shoulder after a cycling crash. Everyone of my orthopaedic doctor friends recommended him for the kind of trauma I suffered and they deferred my care to him. His experience, wisdom and expertise gave me the option to avoid surgery, but he did have to monitor my healing closely. His excellent judgement to not perform surgery was best in my case and after a should 4 months post-comminuted Fx, I have full R.O.M. using my arm normally. A consummate pro Dr. !

Dr. Hoepfner worked closely with me to fix another surgeon's mistake. He followed up throughout the recovery and OT process, he included me in the next step decision making process as well. Dr. Hoepfner educated me on my options and collaborated with me to decide that another surgery would be best. His personality along with his expertise make him one of my very favorite doctors!

Dr. Peter Hoepfner, MD was AMAZING! He removed a mass in my upper arm that was large and wrapped around my ulna nerve. Surgery took longer than expected, and when I woke up I had a Frankenstein like scar. The scar looks amazing today. It's been 7 weeks. The removal of the mass allowed me to continue life as normal. I highly recommend him. THANKS DR. HOEPFNER!

Dr. Hoepfner was very personable in the office to me and my 18 year old daughter. Our visit resulted in having surgery, and he was able to schedule it the next day. I always felt he answered all our questions, and I never felt rushed in any appointments. His PA was just as wonderful.

Excellent bedside manner. SL Ligament repaired with ease.

I shattered my elbow doing yard work and Dr. Hoepfner worked on repairing the bone break but also the issues related to the crushed nerve from the accident. He is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and resourceful. He also works with a great team and put me in touch with amazing occupational therapists. He worked with me regarding my hesitations and fears with surgery and gave his recommendations in conjunction with my goals for my arm. I highly recommend Dr. Hoepfner!!

I can not say enough about Dr. Hoepfner. His bedside manner is truly delightful. He is soft spoken and always has a smile on his face. Even going into surgery he had a kind, reassuring word for me. Before surgery, he called me to discuss and explain everything about my impending surgery. He talked to me in terms that were clear and easy to understand. His post-op care was fantastic. When seeing you he gives you his full attention and does not rush you. I give Dr. Hoepfner 5 stars.

My experience at IBJI and with Dr. Hoepfner was incredible!!! First off, when I came in his secretary was very welcoming and cheerful. The wait time was under 10 minutes so it was really quick!! I had come in with a carpel tunnel injury, and he treated it perfectly. I would recommend Dr. Hoepfner because he is patient, welcoming, and professional. Thank you so much doc!!

Dr. Hoepfner is a fabulous surgeon and a fine person. Great bedside manor- tells you all you need to know and always takes whatever time is needed to answer any and all questions you may have. I had two different hand surgeries back to back and recovery and rehab time were just as he said they would be. His staff is very kind and professional, always willing to help and very accommodating. They have a great system that really works for the patients.

Great doctor and great staff

Dr Hoepfner is a true professional, at every phase he made me feel comfortable and informed all the way up to , and including surgery. we all strive to be the best in life at what we do, well he is the best! i would recommend him to everyone i know. its neat to see a doctor that really cares about you.

Dr Hoepfner is wonderful. He did surgery on my wrist for a condition that isn't too common. He was very thorough in explaining the procedure he was doing. He had great knowledge of how to correct this issue. He was great afterwards with follow up to see how it was healing.

Thorough in explanations and professional in his delivery of care. Dr. Hoepfner saw me through emergency surgery and the months following recovery. He listened attentively and showed compassion as I was readied for surgery and during the challenges of healing process. His staff were efficient and friendly. When you are able to say that an unexpected surgery is a positive experience, beginning to end, its clearly driven by a skilled surgeon!

I fell 1/28/16 completely crushing my wrist. Dr. Hoepfner literally performed a miracle on my arm. I have 2 metal plates and 25 pins and screws in my arm but it looks and feels normal now. The recovery was long. I am 71 and it takes me a little longer to heal than when younger. I received the very best care and follow up I believe it is possible to give. I am forever grateful to Dr. Hoepfner and recommend him with the highest praise.

Dr. Hoepfner identified my issue on the first visit. I was given a cortisone shot, that resolved my trigger finger issue, and the pain was resolved and returned to normal in a couple of days. I would recommend him highly! He explained the issue and treatment very clearly. If I ever have any issue in the future, I would definitely see Dr. Hoepfner!

I broke my right wrist a few days before Memorial Day weekend. After being seen in the E.R. I was referred to Dr. Hoepfner for follow-up. He said I would need surgery to regain full function. I needed a pre-op physical but I was new to the area and didn't know any doctors here. He arranged for a physical, conferred with my doctor in Maryland and within a few days the surgery was done; all over the holiday. After a short PT my wrist is as good as new. Many thanks to Dr. Hoepfner and staff.

Dr Hoepfner was very nice and took time to talk to me about my injury. I had gone to see another doctor prior to seeing him and the other doctor dismissed my problems and told me to wait 6 more months to see if it would get better. I had shattered my wrist the year before but the hardware was bothering me. Dr. Hoepfner removed the hardware and cleaned up cartilage and bone chips from my wrist. It's great I'm back to using my wrist 100% pretty much with out pain.

Dr. Hoepfner performed surgery on my right wrist for tendinitis. He answered all my questions before and after surgery and was very easy to talk to. The pain in my wrist and thumb is gone and the incision is healing nicely.

I tore my distal bicep tendon early 2015 i hyper extended my arm causing it to tear. i remained injured for 6 months until i decided to get surgery, my tendon was no longer good so Dr. Hoepfner suggested graphing Achilles tendon from a cadaver, 5 months later im back to my normal work outs. the best part is Dr. Hoepfner attentiveness and care for my surgery, he went as far as to cut along my tattoo sleeve to not ruin it which i thank him for greatly. i will always recommend Dr. Hoepfner.
