  • Former Employee Treated for Degenerative Osteoarthritis by Dr. Terpstra
    As a former employee of Coordinated Health, there was no question as to where I would seek orthopedic care and possible surgical intervention. After suffering for a year with early degenerative osteoarthritis, I met several doctors at Coordinated Health and felt the most comfortable with Dr. Daniel Terpstra. He followed my case for several months and once the hip pain got bad enough that I needed a cane to ambulate, we realized it was time for a total hip replacement. I was fearful of this huge step as I am only 51 years old, but he made me feel comfortable and confident that his team at Coordinated Health would make this as easy as possible.

    One week ago I had the procedure and must commend Coordinated Health in all aspects of their hospital care at the Allentown campus for such a wonderful experience for my family and myself. From the nursing staff, physical therapists, administrative staff, medical staff and food service (which was extraordinary). I am so grateful to them all for making my surgery and three day stay at their facility a remarkable one. Thank you Coordinated Health for taking such great care of me.

    Sincerely,
    Karen M.
  • Dr. Terpstra is easy to understand
    Dr. Dan Terpstra as he is very thorough and easy to understand as to what is wrong, why it’s wrong, what he is going to do to fix it and what to expect after the operation……Did a great job on my rotator cuff operation – back to 100% and happy I did it.
  • Dr. Terpstra alleviated concerns
    Dr. Terpstra - always available when I need to speak with him;  did an outstanding job with my hip replacement surgery;  had not been hospitalized in the last 63 years...was quite apprehensive, but Dr. Terprstra and his team did a great job in alleviating all my concerns and fears of what might happen.
  • Dr. Terpstra helped make experience pleasurable
    Daniel Terpstra is the only physician I have had the pleasure of meeting at Coordinated Health.  I found Dr. Tepstra to be professional yet very personable while explaining everything in detail regarding my condition, options, surgery and post op recovery.      My entire experience with Coordinated Health,  its staff and campuses' has been an excellent one.  I hope to remain in good health, but if something should arise, I will not hesitate to contact your offices and will highly recommend you to my friends, family and colleagues.    Many thanks to everyone at Coordinated Health for making what could have been a very stressful and unpleasant procedure and recovery into one that I really didn't mind at all!!
