So pleased to have his experience and expertise. Just a great doctor!
He is the best!
Very comfortable with Dr. Bodenstab and asking questions and things like that
He’s the best!
Relaxed atmosphere and thoughtful discussion
Always awesome. Very sorry to hear he is retiring. He will be greatly missed.
Professional, patient at explaining complicated procedures in easily understood manner. Excellent surgical results. I would Unconditionally recommend him.
Courteous, obviously very skilled, easy to talk with and put me at ease.
He is an excellent doctor. I'm very sad to hear he is retiring- but it is well deserved for him.
Dr. Bodenstab took a chance on me, not once but twice in 6 months with full knee placements despite my size. Flawlessly done procedure the first time and going well with the 2nd. I'm just home from surgery and I'm up and about. It's been life alternating for me. I am greatful! Lots of fellow Delawareans have shared their great experiences with Dr. Bodenstab as their physician.
