Dr. Kieckbusch grew up around rodeo. He, along with his wife and kids, have all participated in the sport.

Patients sit squarely at the center of Dr. Kieckbusch’s practice. He works hard to maintain his schedule so that patients rarely have to wait for scheduled appointments and to ensure each one has the time they need with their doctor. He also goes out of his way to make himself accessible to patients outside of appointments, personally taking their phone calls whenever possible. Dr. Kieckbusch believes in taking the time to find each patient’s appropriate care path and considers himself conservative when it comes to surgery, opting to try alternative treatments first. However, when surgery is indicated he utilizes cutting edge techniques for the best outcomes.
