“We know we made the right choice picking Bill Sterett to repair our daughter's knee.”

Blair (above) has returned to competitive lacrosse following her ACL reconstruction!

“Dr. William Sterett, Orthopedic Surgeon, and the wonderful people within Team Sterett at Vail Summit Orthopedics (VSO) represent to me a superior choice when considering care and treatment. Our family was faced with choosing a medical provider for our highly athletic lacrosse-playing daughter for an ACL. We researched leading providers local to us on the east coast, as well as other names nationally.

The difference Bill and Team at VSO make is they understand your case and build a program to exactly fit a procedure and recovery to your intended goals. We also felt they were the team most geared toward female ACL repairs and cutting-edge technologies on the procedure, graft, rehab, etc. Following the Team Sterett plan, our daughter quickly and successfully returned to competition, and we could not be happier with the care and treatment, and follow-up we continue to receive directly from Bill, Team Sterett, and the VSO team.

We know we made the right choice picking Bill Sterett to repair our daughter's knee.”

“Dr. Sterett exemplifies what a great surgeon and healthcare provider should be. He has the care, skill, and judgment to provide complex care but retains his humility and sense of humor. He has built a surgical team that is responsive to patient needs and extremely accommodating. After shoulder surgery, I can fully attest to Dr. Sterett’s professionalism and feel fortunate to have had such a fantastic outcome twice!”

“Thank you for the great care and follow up. After missing an entire ski season I am thrilled to be back hiking, biking, and playing tennis this summer and fall. I will gladly recommend you to all of my friends. Thanks again and counting the days until the Mountain opens and I can ski on my new and improved knee.”

— Lauren, San Francisco

“Both he and his team are the best! They are knowledgeable, caring, kind and on point with each individual treatment. I have had two major surgeries with him and could not imagine going through either without him. I will continue to recommend Dr. Sterett to anyone looking for orthopedic help. Thank you Dr. Sterett and team!”
