William E Schobert, MD APC

I wish there were more than 5 stars because Dr Schobert deserves many more! This man saved my knee and my sanity! Hands down, he is the BEST orthopedic surgeon around. Not only is he a brilliantly skilled surgeon, but really cares about his patients and is just a super nice guy. He staff is top notch too! Dr. Schobert took me on when my previous surgeon wanted nothing to do with me.
Last year I tore my ACL skiing and went to another surgeon in south county. That surgeon (who I won’t name) went in and replaced my ACL with my patellar tendon. He also repaired my torn meniscus, got rid of a plica and did a micro fracture on my cartilage. I seemed to recover as predicted but ended up with a rare complication from an ACL reconstruction called a Cyclopes lesion that continues to grow and prevent extension. I had a second surgery to have it removed it. Two weeks later I went in for a third
emergency surgery because I had gotten staph (all indications were that I got it from surgery #2, but impossible to prove). I spent three days in the hospital and went home with an IV PIC line in my arm and had to recieve IV antibiotics every day for four weeks. Due to the three surgeries and the staph, I grew scar tissue like crazy and struggled to regain mobility, flex ion and extension. My original surgeon told me that there was nothing he could do and I needed a year to recover. This was devastating. I was in pain and struggled just to walk normally. This was especially hard since I had always been very active, playing tennis, spin classes, skiing, hiking, etc. my frustration level was at an all time high.
Thankfully my PT encouraged me to see Dr Schobert. His office is a photographic whose who of professional athletes. His office staff couldn’t me nicer or more accommodating. I never ever waited in the waiting room. And Dr. Schober, himsel, is top notch. He reassured me that he could help me, he acknowledged my fears and concerns due to my previous experience. He video taped my entire surgery start to finish, unlike the previous Dr who just took snap shots while in the knee. Dr. Schobert either called or texted every day after the surgery for about 3 weeks just to make sure I was okay. So after 4 surgeries & 165+ PT visits within ten months, me and my knee are doing great! Playing tennis, hiking, stand up paddling and am pain free. Dr Schobert told me that if I had waited a year to do anything, like the original doctor had told me, I would have had so much scar tissue that I would not have been able to walk. I can’t thank Dr Schobert enough for giving me my knee and my life back. I wouldn’t even consider going to someone else… he is the absolute BEST! Thanks Doc!!!

I was a volleyball and basketball player in my youth. Basically gave it up. Doc gave me hope. Before during and after he was the best. My shoulder was a mess and he cleaned it up. Surgery was a breeze and he is a great guy. Thanks Doc

I had an ACL replacement about 18 months before meeting Dr. Schobert. I came to him for a second opinion because I was still in pain — every day — since the surgery.
Dr. Schobert did a great job of diagnosing the problem after my other ortho just told me to «wait it out.» He did surgery about three weeks ago and the results are fantastic. I’m like a new man… although I still can’t play piano. He even gave me a video of the surgery… which was very cool.
Not only is Dr. Schobert great, his staff is also excellent. Appointments are fast — they do a good job of getting you in and out with minimal delays.
All in all, if you need ortho work done, you can’t go wrong with Dr. Schobert.

Dr. Schobert is not just the best of the best hes THE BEST– as a nurse I find it rare that a physician, combines remarkable skill, with a kind caring spirit. Ive had 2 surgeries one on each knee, incredible outcomes– he shines!!!

Doctor Schobert is the absolute best. He’s worked on world class athletes like Kerri Walsh (performed surgery on KW less than a year before her Gold Medal in London 2014), Misty May, and Karch Kiraly. Doc repaired my right labrum tear after several painful dislocations. His personality mixed with his incredible knowledge make going to the doctor actually fun. I highly recommend Dr. Schobert.

Excellent ortho Doc. Specializes in knees & shoulders. Great office staff too. High end provider. Amazing clientele of world class athletes and me.

I was referred to Dr. Schobert through David Page at the Coto Club and honestly have never been more impressed by a doctor…
He is knowledgeable, professional, on time, great staff and local!
