Dr. Stapleton performed my ACL reconstruction and I was back on the field in 8 months. His attention to detail and genuine care for my recovery made all the difference.

ACL Reconstruction Patient

After years of knee pain, Dr. Stapleton gave me my life back. The minimally invasive approach meant I was walking the same day. Incredible care, right here in West Virginia.

I drove past three hospitals to see Dr. Stapleton. His expertise in shoulder surgery is unmatched in this region. My rotator cuff is fully healed and stronger than ever.
