doc made a big difference in my life - his good hands made it possible for me to continue a long career in law enforcement. when no other doctor thought it could be done, he did it. he was a good man and a good friend. we often talked a lot about horses, family and the "cow pasture pool" he liked so much! sympathy to his family

I was in 4th grade at Jessie Beck Elementary school when I first met Billy, Dr Teipner's oldest boy. We quickly became the best of friends. We remained good friends till graduation of High School at Reno High, Bill in '75 and me in '76. Dr Teipner always had us kids over for steaks off the grill and Artichokes. My mother, an RN at Washoe Medical Center remembers Dr. Teipner fondly, as I do too. Dr T, you will be remembered as you're now safe with Bill and Cindi.... RIP good friend... :)

Marty: Just want you to know how much we treasure the friendship of you &
Bill. He was always the same upbeat guy,ill or well. He made a golf club for Roberta & when used by a ladies club champ at Incline---"I want one." Guess in Bill's memory it's appropriate to make it a gift. May the Lord's blessings be with you & him--Roberta & Clay Klein

In memory of Dr.Teipner I send my condolences and heart felt sympathies to family and friends. Dr. "Bill" put a cast on my leg years ago when I pulled my tendons on my left leg.

Bill reconstructed my knee back in 1972 and the doctors at USC and in LA were amazed at the technique and procedure Bill had developed. DR Jobe had thought he had originated the procedure and could not beleive a "Cowboy" in Reno had matched his thinking. My thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. I feel like Bill was a huge part of putting me back together. (5) surgeries all successful under his caring hand. Thanks Bill Ray Crook
