Terrific Orthopedic Doctor. Maintained and cared for both shoulders by preventing surgery.
Having been a patient of Dr. Bodenstab for over 12 years, I have come to expect excellence in ability, skill, diagnostics, professionalism, patience, courtesy, empathy, and kindness. Never have I been disappointed. He has earned, and kept, my trust and respect.
He is very friendly and knowledgeable. Never feel rushed when he talks with you.
He's the best.
Excellent surgeon. Changed my life for the better to help me walk into the future. I wish him all the best in his retirement.
Excellent visit.
Always wonderful. I feel pretty good for 8 hours after surgery.
Wonderful, caring doctor! Great bedside manner. He will be missed!
Can't believe it. They took me on time. Dr Bodenstab answered every question and gave me very good ideas and info.
Dr. B is the best surgeon! Very caring, but honest. He will tell you what your options are and help you to make the choice for you. He gives lots of information and answers any questions you may have.
