Awesome. Explains everything in detail. I had surgery and it went great. Follow-up went good. His staff is awesome.
Heard my concerns of pain and came up with a quick solution.
A reverse total shoulder surgery is in my opinion a major surgery. Listen to what he says to do, and do your part and you will have excellent outcomes. It’s a hard long process of recovery but in the end worth it.
My surgery was very successful. He connects well, explains well, very polite. Inspires confidence. Already have my neighbor seeing him after I shared.
Knowledgeable, down to earth. Fun conversation
First meeting, nothing really happened, but he wants to do some tests to get a better idea of what's going on. Very professional!
I had a great experience with Dr. Woodhead. I felt that my need for care were addressed.
Terrific
Even though we waited longer than usual, Dr Woodhead took the time needed with us. We didn’t feel rushed.
Great Doctor.
