Access to high-quality orthopedic care is important for individuals facing joint pain, injury, or mobility issues. At Pipestone County Medical Center, patients are fortunate to receive expert orthopedic services from Dr. Travis Liddell and Certified Nurse Practitioner April Labat.
Dr. Liddell, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon with Avera Medical Group, brings extensive experience in diagnosing and treating various musculoskeletal conditions—from fractures and ligament injuries to joint replacements and complex orthopedic surgeries. His expertise allows patients in Pipestone and surrounding communities to get advanced care without traveling to another city.
Working closely with Dr. Liddell is April Labat, CNP. April’s patient-centered approach and orthopedic training ensure continuity of care before and after surgery. She plays a critical role in patient evaluations, follow-ups, and education—helping individuals better understand their conditions and treatment options. April’s calming presence adds valuable accessibility and support to our patients throughout their care journey.
Having this level of specialized care available locally reduces stress for patients and families. It also allows for quicker appointments, familiar surroundings, and a healthcare team that understands the unique needs of rural residents. From sports injuries in teens to arthritis concerns in older adults, orthopedic care at PCMC provides a path back to active, pain-free living.
