Pensler Vein and Vascular Surgical Institute | Hill Orthopedics: Knee & Hip Orthopedic Specialties

One convenient location. Two amazing practices. One vision.

Dr. Derek Hill and Dr. Elizabeth Pensler have a combined 25 years of experience treating all pain, swelling, and injuries of the lower extremities. This unique husband/wife surgeon duo efficiently manages all problems from the pelvis down. Both are fellowship-trained and board-certified in their specialties — Dr. Pensler in vein and vascular surgery, and Dr. Hill in orthopedic surgery/hip and knee joint disease.

These two perennial Hour Detroit Top Docs specialize in solving problems for people who don’t know where to turn for their lower extremity concerns. Patients love visiting Dr. Hill and Dr. Pensler in their new, spacious, state-of-the-art Ferndale location. Their unique, combined approach allows them to work together to improve the lives of patients in ways that other practices and doctors have been unable to achieve.

Dr. Hill is an orthopedic surgeon who is fellowship-trained in the hip and knee, and also treats a wide array of sports and trauma injuries. He’s a clinical associate professor of surgery at Michigan State University’s College of Osteopathic Medicine. Board-certified by
the American Osteopathic Board of Orthopedic Surgeons, Dr. Hill is also an author, lecturer, and researcher, and is actively involved in creating the treatments of tomorrow.

Dr. Pensler is a double-board-certified surgeon in general and vascular surgery, and she’s a recognized leader in providing first-rate patient care and satisfaction. She has mastered the latest in minimally-invasive, endovascular procedures that offer less pain, lower risk, and a faster return to normal daily life for her patients. She treats a broad variety of vascular problems, with special attention to leg swelling and venous disorders. She also has become well-known for treating women with unexplained pelvic pain.

Their beautiful new office building, Ferndale Medical Center, is also home to other medical practices, including Dr. Hill’s AZ Solutions (a pharmaceutical research lab) and Dr. Pensler’s Elizabeth Face + Body Med Spa (a full-service medical spa). In addition, you can find Team Rehabilitation and Wright & Filippis there as well.
