Clinical Philosophy

Dr. Eifler’s #1 priority to get his patients back to enjoying their favorite activities.    Whether supporting a collegiate athlete, a “weekend warrior”,  or 45 year old software engineer with a new injury, his expertise is customizing  a treatment plan for maximum functional recovery.   10 years as the team orthopedic surgeon for Division 1 athletes at the University of North Texas benefits every patient that  he sees in the office. 

Success for Dr Eifler is looking out for the best interest of the patient, as an athlete today and as an adult in the future.  He understands the expectations of recovery vary depending on the age, occupation and lifestyle of the patient- be it a 40 year-old mechanic or a 75 year-old, retired teacher.  

Trusted, Proven Expertise     

During his time in Texas, Dr Eifler reconstructed the shoulders and knees of high school students that subsequently earned scholarships to play Division 1 football, soccer, volleyball, baseball, and softball.  He has helped hundreds of collegiate athletes return to their sports after injury.

  • Big 12 Offensive Freshman of the Year
  • Sun Belt First Team All- Conference 
  • Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Year

  • Conference All-Tournament Team  
  • Conference USA Top Goaltender                     
  • Weurffel Trophy Nominee           
  • Conference USA First Team All-Conference   
  • National Soccer Coaches’ Association of America (NSCAA) First Team All-Region

 

Dr. Eifler’s reputation allowed him to the opportunity to serve as the Team Physician for teams in the National Indoor Football League and the American West Hockey League.  The coaches, players, and parents have come to trust Dr. Eifler for effective diagnosis and treatment of their orthopedic injuries.

“Dr. Eifler has been our team doctor for nine years.  He has treated my son and wife, the other coaches’ families, teachers and their families.  We trust him because he speaks to our level.  He treats everyone like his family; he does what is best for the kids, regardless what the coach wants.  I respect that approach to care.   When I have an injured player, I tell the mom and dad, ‘Do whatever Dr. Eifler says.  I am not going to let him play until Dr. Eifler determines it’s safe for him to play.  Dr. Eifler is going to treat your kid like he would his own.’”

      - John Walsh, athletic director and head football coach,

      Guyer High School, Dallas;  winner of two state football titles
