Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Have seen Dr Schlafly for 35 yrs. He has done 2 knee replacements and several scopes. Last knee replacement done in October this past year. Couldn’t be more pleased. Fabulous doctor and will be greatly missed.

I first saw Dr. Schlafly in January 2019 for pain in both knees. After trying non-surgical solutions for 6 months we decided knee replacement was in order. I recently had my left knee replaced at St. Luke’s Hospital in Chesterfield, MO by Dr. Schlafly and his staff. The surgery went very well. I am now about 10 days out and generally able to walk without a walker or cane. I thought the entire process from initial consultation to post recovery was handled exceptionally well. The amount of information shared to prep me for the surgery, post-surgery, PT, and recovery was significant. I am now planning my other knee in January. The entire team at Woods Mill Orthopedics, from reception to Dr. Schlafly himself is very professional and caring. Highly recommend!

Did a knee replacement on me with terrible results. He wouldn’t even touch my knee to check movement. Said scar looked great and he did all he can do and it was left to the man up above. Had to go to another surgeon to get it tightened up cause it was loose right after surgery. I wouldn’t send my worse enemy to him.

At my last appt he chastised me for being there saying he had surgery in an hour, was busy, why was I there, would only discuss two 'body parts' with me. I pointed to the x-ray of my knee behind his head on the wall. He was bizarre and aggressive. I called the hospital to complain about him and learned he leases an office there in order to do surgery there but isn't on staff. Go to BJC.

Major knee surgery from a ski injury in 1988. Two orthoscopic knee surgeries (one in the last year). All with excellent results. Cares about and listens to patients.
