About Dr. Schirmers

Joseph D. Schirmers, MD specializes in orthopedic surgery, with professional interests in arthroplasty, arthritis, and hip and knee replacement.

My practice philosophy: Demonstrate my personal investment in the health of the patients I serve; to serve my patients with diligence, professionalism, humility and kindness.

I am passionate about the intersection of quality collaborative patient care, social determinants of health, economics and technology. I also find the restorative capabilities of orthopedic surgery profoundly and intrinsically rewarding.

One of the challenges I enjoy most: Solving complex ailments of the musculoskeletal system that permit my patients to return to the activities they enjoy with those most important to them.
