Initial appointment went very well. Staff is great, friendly and helpful.
Nice, kind, very knowledgeable. Explains everything. All around great doctor.
Dr. Bodenstab is amazing. I can walk again and have very little pain.
So nice, great results !!
Great doctor very experienced but he did not inform my husband with updates after surgery he had to ask the nurse what was going on.
Excellent bedside manner and detail of issue at hand.
Very informative. Pleasant. Patently explained the process of the surgery.
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Bodenstab’s for over 35 years. Top notch, professional, friendly and a great surgeon.
Excellent physician. He's personable, and seems to be an excellent clinician. One thing I noticed. In my review of a few months ago I complained about their outdated check in system. It's since been modernized with a portal where you can sign in. Well done!
Excellent doctor
