Dr. Kepler has been a great doctor throughout my treatment so far. He really takes the time to explain your diagnosis and all treatment options. He does not rush through anything as if he has another appointment waiting. I would highly recommend him if you are having a procedure done. Also, he thinks about the cosmetic look of the scar when making the cut, very thorough and appreciated. Also, he has a good sense of humor. Again, I would highly recommend him.

Dr Kepler is excellent! I was unable to function for months and now 2 weeks post op have my life back and no pain. He is kind, not rushed, explains things well and must be an expert surgeon as far as I can tell based on my results. Alexis, the PA is a doll and will sincerely care about you. A top notch team!!

I fell into Dr. Kepler's care through TJUH Cherry Hill. Being a health care professional myself and having met Dr. Kepler, after being transferred to TJUH center city my initial impression indicated that he would only develop a game until he all had the objective data Dr. Kepler is clear minded, explains what is occurring and his plan to take for the best outcome. Their isn't enough space to tell you how Dr, Kepler saved me from paralysis and even death. Alan K., RN

No more pain!! I feel great after surgery. Dr. Kepler shoots straight. If he runs late, it’s because he spends as much time with each patient as they need, not the opposite! You won’t regret going to see him.

Dr. Kepler performed lumbar fusion on me 1 year ago. I am pain free and living life to the fullest! He really is an amazing surgeon and so down to earth. I can't believe it's been a year since my operation and I have no limitations. I owe it all to Dr. Kepler!

Very capable doctor. But at EVERY appointment with him I sat LONGER THAN AN HOUR in the waiting room. Things happen and people run behind, but this happened at each of my appointments with him even if it was an early morning appointment. His interns who actually examine you (Dr. Kepler does not) are very good and thorough. Then Dr. Kepler finally comes in and has never spent more than 2 minutes with me. However, his staff are friendly and his PA, Alexis, is excellent and always punctual.

I would like to say in all of my 70years dealing with doctors there has never been a doctor like Dr. Kelper. I have had back problems for years from 1995. In all I have had 10 back surgeries.. Dr. Kelper Is the only one who has shown me compassion and empathy. From my first visit, I knew he was special. When I saw him he told me I would walk again. I had had back surgery in 2015. in DE. I will never have surgery if I need it in DE. again. Dr. Kepler is the BEST

After meeting several surgeons at other local hospitals, I decided to have Dr. Kepler perform my Laminectomy and Discectomy. He is very experienced, confident and knowledgable about which types of procedures to perform and NOT perform. He also has the best bedside manner. He's very easy to talk with and he addresses all concerns. He makes you feel as if you are his only patient. His PA, Alexis Drennen, his also very experienced and extremely helpful and together, they make a phenomenal team!

I saw Dr. Kepler today and although I have not had surgery yet I was impressed with how thorough he was with his explanations of what was going on with my situation. Also, he took his time making sure I fully understood all aspects of my surgical procedures, time in hospital and recuperation. He left nothing out. He showed me scans, x-rays and pointed out all that was happening and what pain relief percentage wise to the best he can give me. I am truly pleased with Dr. Keplet's approachLJohnson

I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Kepler. I went to him with extreme nerve pain caused by two herniated cervical discs. While his 1st option was non surgical, ultimately I required spinal decompression & fusion. He is a skilled surgeon & a true professional. I am about one year removed from surgery & feel fantastic. Thank you Dr. Kepler!

Dr. Kepler is no longer at the Rothman Washington Twp. office. He only sees patients in their Marlton, NJ office and Rothman at Jefferson University Hospital Campus, Phila, PA. He's extremely knowledgeable of all issues of the spine. Excellent bedside manner and concern for his patients. Like all popular docs who are in surgery 1-2 times per week, office appointments may take longer than expected. Having Dr. Kepler perform successful, major spine surgery was worth the wait for me.

A little over a year ago, my wife was gravely ill with a spinal fracture on her lumbar region as a result of metastatic stage 4 breast cancer. She was to the point where she was immobile and couldn't even perform the simplest tasks such as walking. Long story short, the very day after her spinal fusion surgery she walked, not 100% of course, but she walked. Dr. Kepler saved my wife's life and I am forever grateful for his love, compassion and care that he showed towards my wife and our family.

Dr. Kepler is an excellent doctor. He is courteous, respectful, and a highly competent surgeon.
I had been dealing with back pain and getting shots for nearly four years from another entity. Eventually I was getting no relief and decided to undergo surgery. I contacted Rothman, was promptly scheduled to meet with Dr. Kepler, was scheduled for surgery within a week, and I am extremely grateful and happy to report that my back is 100% pain free. My only regret is not doing it sooner.

My first impression was not very good. But I went back because I was at my wits end with back pain. The diagnostic tests he ordered were scheduled quickly. Once the results were back there was a pre op consult where Dr. Kepler was honest in that he was not sure he could help the back pain (60%) , but was pretty sure (90%) he could help with the nerve pain. While at the hospital, Dr. Kepler and his staff were attentive and empathetic.
