Welcome to
The Orthopedic Center of St. Louis

Very impressed! This is the first time I’ve ever had to take my child to an orthopedic doctor because of a sports injury. Me and my son thought that Dr Whicker was incredibly nice, knowledgeable and made us feel very comfortable. She will be our family’s Dr for any future orthopedic issues.

Dr. Paletta did a phenomenal job with my son’s elbow surgery and my wife’s elbow surgery (ulnar nerves). I work with a lot of orthopedic surgeons and he is one of the few I trust with my life and my family’s life. If I ever get time to go myself I will have him fix my elbow too!

Dr. Gornet and his staff were amazing throughout my entire treatment. He truly cares about his people. My surgery day the surgery center staff was very patient with me and helped calm my nerves. His anesthesiologist was amazing. I love how they were with me. And it touched my heart when Dr. Gornet came to my bed held my hand and said a prayer right before walking to the surgical room.

I had the opportunity to observe how Dr. Shores with patients, and his professionalism truly stands out. He takes his time in every appointment, listening carefully and making sure he fully understands each patient’s concerns before offering guidance. Dr. Shores is exceptionally detailed in his explanations and thoughtful in how he approaches each case. His compassion is evident in the way he speaks with patients, never rushing them, always making sure they feel supported and respected. If you’re looking for a physician who combines professionalism, thoroughness, and genuine care, Dr. Shores is an outstanding choice.

My mom and I were absolutely blessed to find Dr. Grimshaw in March of 2025. My mom’s original knees outlasted all expectations, but she found herself in her mid-80’s and in need of a revision. In comes Dr. Grimshaw. We knew from our first appointment that he was the right doctor. Dr. Grimshaw comes with all the needed credentials one looks for in a doctor and he comes with all the kindness and compassion one could ever hope for and want. Words cannot express how good he was and still is to my mom. He is a Christian man who brings his faith into his practice and relationships with his patience and families. Dr. Grimshaw went and continues to go above and beyond to ensure that my mom has success even coming in after his scheduled day to see my mom after a scheduling mix up. His entire staff are beyond kind, patient and go out of their way to help. Dr. Grimshaw is living out his purpose. We are forever grateful for his care.

Dr. Krause was a highly trained military doctor. If you want to complain and have your hand held, you might want to see a different doctor. If you want a skilled, efficient, professional doctor, this is your man. Most efficient X-ray and office visits I have ever experienced. He answers your questions and gets his job done. His job is YOUR HEALTH. I was extremely fortunate to have him treat me in an emergency and beyond.

Dr. Calotta is the best! He walked my aunt step by step and spent plenty of time to answer all of our questions. Super helpful and informative. Would recommend to all of my friends and family.

I had a shoulder replacement in November 2023. Dr. Pinn and his staff did an excellent job of preparing me for the surgery, surgery day and following me through the long process of recovery. And, boy did I recover! I listened to them and therapy and followed the rules. Because of that, I can say my shoulder is amazing. No pain and works well. I have no negative side effects from this surgery. Thank you Dr. Pinn and team for an excellent job well done!

Dr. Reeves and his staff have been excellent. Takes his time, thoroughly explains everything. Isn’t just rushing to surgery, but exhausts non-surgical treatments. And his support staff is always friendly and very responsive.
