Orthopaedic & Joint Replacement Surgeon
Consulting Physician:
University of Notre Dame,
Indiana University School of Medicine
Hello, I’m Dr. Jeff Yergler, a Board-certified orthopaedic surgeon specializing in minimally invasive joint reconstruction surgery with rapid recovery plans. As a native of South Bend, IN, I am honored to continue my family’s legacy—my father was one of the original founders of South Bend Orthopaedics.
Today, I focus on:
I am proud to be one of the highest volume surgeons in the country, fellowship trained, and skilled in the latest minimally invasive techniques and the use of better implants. With a commitment to utilizing the newest technology, I perform outpatient total joint replacements and engage in ongoing research and development, particularly as a developer for Zimmer Biomet and Canary Medical. Additionally, I present at national meetings and serve as a consultant for the University of Notre Dame and the Indiana University School of Medicine.
What Sets Me Apart from Other Orthopaedic Surgeons
I am dedicated to creating a welcoming and supportive environment for all my patients. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain or recovering from an injury, I am here to listen and provide personalized care. I believe every patient is unique, and I take their aspirations and goals into account when developing a personalized treatment or surgical plan. Your well-being is my top priority, and I am committed to helping you feel your best every step of the way.
In my free time, I cherish moments with my wife and four children, enjoying outdoor activities, traveling, and participating in our children’s athletics and teams.
