He is a wonderful, caring but truthful doctor. He gives you all the information you need to make a good decision on your personal health. He always answers all your questions .
Excellent Dr.
His office is always on the ball and I always depend on his diagnosis for what is ailing my body parts.
He pre-diagnosed a stress fracture in the left fibula with a recommendation for a brace.X-ray were inconclusive, therefore he ordered an MRI. The earliest availability for MRI was Friday, January 25. I didn’t understand why he didn’t just give me the brace at the time of visit.
Exceptional care, always
Excellent care!!
Dr. B is the BEST! He has replaced both my hips and restored my quality of life. He is treating my knee now and I have complete confidence in him. He also has a wonderful bedside manner. He is kind and listens to your concerns. If you need an orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Bodenstab is who you want to see!
He's the best. Very very professional and a gentleman you can talk to. He's honest in his opinions, very eager to help with your problem, and not one to jump right into surgery. I really like this guy in the way he does business .
Dr. Bodenstab is always polite and very professional! Even on a busy day, he takes time to explain the pros and cons of the treatment and his ultimate plan to resolve any issues!
Super visit. Doctor was very helpful
