This is such a terrific resource that I keep returning with new requests. We just moved here 5 months ago so I don't yet have any recommendations to offer. When I do,...

Dr. Speiker just did my knee surgery in Jan. Did a great job. (302) 644-3311
Leslie V. replied:
If it ends up requiring spinal surgery, I highly recommend Dr. Yalamanchili out of Newark. He's a neurosurgeon, and did my neck surgery. I asked four different doctors including two orthopedist who they'd have do their spinal surgery if they needed it, and all four immediately gave his name.
Eric M. replied:
Dr Spieker is amazing!
Lorraine C. replied:
Dr Pfaff for spine, Dr Pillai for shoulder both are with Ortho Assoc in Lewes. Dr Choy for sure for knee, wait time but worth it!!
Sheri A. replied:
The only ortho I have experience with in this area is Dr. Edmund Carroll. I know he does knees but I'm not sure if that's all he does.
Peggy S. replied:
My husband went to Dr. Craig Anderson at Rothman Institute in Philly for spine surgery. Outstanding.
Barbara B. replied:
Dr. Evan Crain, New Castle, First State Orthopedics
Mary H. replied:
Micheal Sugarman in Chritiana. He has taken care of my husband and daughter and still sees my daughter. For spine
Rob B. replied:
This is who you want for shoulders.... http://delawarebonedocs.com/about-us/physicians/dr_pillai.html
Denise W. replied:
Which joint needs care? For example, Dr. Wilson Choy is your knee guy!
Denise W. replied:
Dr. Michael Sugarman out of Christiana did my lumbar surgery...although, Dr. Ron Sabbagh is the local spine doc
Rob B. replied:
Premiere Orthapedics in Lewes or Millsboro
Suzanne K. replied:
Dr. Spieker in Lewes is great.
Bonny H. replied:
Dr. Speiker is awesome!
Libby S. replied:
Wilm Hosp for surgery. World class
Rob B. replied:
Dr. Carroll at Premiere Orthopedics did my hip and he is awesome. He only does hips and knees but they have a surgeon that specializes in shoulders. I walked twice the same day as my surgery!!
Sheri A. replied:
I saw Dr. Pillai when I was in a lot of pain and needed to see someone right away and I did not care for her attitude...but I was there for knees not shoulders.
Libby S. replied:
My doc says Dr Pillai is very talented.
Lorraine C. replied:
I see Dr Pillai and like her much better than Dr Spieker
Need to see an orthopedic doc for broken wrist. I was able to get an appt with Dr. Marvel at Cape Orthopedic, for Thurs. Any reviews, or input welcome ... thank you.
Gabrielle P. replied:
I highly recommend Dr Choy he has been working with me since June I was injured in a car accident. He just did surgery on my knee this past Friday. ..I wouldn't go to anyone else! ! And he was my 3 rd orthopedic I've seen in this area
Vicki S. replied:
Dr. Choy
Mark B. replied:
I'm a Physical Therapist and agree that Choy is great with knees and hips. Marvel is good, but Dr. Singh in Dover is probably best for hand/wrist.
Shelley N. replied:
We used Dr. Choy with good results
Lizabeth S. replied:
Not sure if you're looking for any other inputs on other places, but just in case...Dr. Sowa with 1 st State Orthopedics is the top in the state! They do GREAT work & he specializes in Hand/wrist/shoulders. They are based out of Newark, but they have offices in Dover as well. I actually worked personally with Dr. Straight when I broke my foot, & it didn't heal after 8 weeks in a hard cast. They took over & got me walking again without surgery (which my original doctor was suggesting that it was my only option), almost immediately, with a bone stimulator. Technology is amazing! http://www.firststateortho.com
Karen Y. replied:
Dr Choy replaced both of my knees..just not sure he does wrists? He seems to specialize in knees & hips. You could call to ask....they are the best!
Nancy A. replied:
Dr Choy is great........but I kiss the ground Jim Marvel walks on.....my son is walking on two feet/legs today most likely because of Dr Marvel...............Dr. Marvel saved the feet/legs so they could be repaired in Washington after a horrible head-on collision...but even before that, I thought Jim Marvel walked on water
Shaye D. replied:
Dr. Marvel is great. Feel better!
Lori R. replied:
Dr Schultz, he specializes in hands (ortho) 302) 644-0940
Susan F. replied:
Dr Marvel is great. You'll love him and his staff.
Kris P. replied:
Dr Marvel is great. Been going to him for years. Has a great team. Also Dr. otter is great hand specialist.
Patricia G. replied:
