Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Did have to wait, everyone was curtious.

Follow up on knee issues.
Discussed alternatives to delay a knee replacement with Dr. Bodenstb. Office submitted and received approval for a gel shot very quickly. Dr. B and staff are the best.

Dr B never rushes he listens to you and explains everything so that you can understand. He has already replaced one of my knees and will be doing another knee in the future. He is a kind caring doctor.

Great Doctor
Dr. Bodenstab is a caring and competent doctor. He spends all the time necessary with his patients to fully explain the plan of action for the medical issue. He is open to questions and listens to patient concerns. I always leave Dr. B’s office feeling grateful that he is my doctor.

Patient Collaboration
I like the ease of check in with the friendly staff. I was in exam room being prepped within minutes of my scheduled appointment time. Doctor Bodenstab starts our visit by asking me how my pain level is from last visit. He is helping me to manage my mobility and pain with injections. We have discussed and agree on this path of treatment as I am not ready for a replacement. I would recommend Dr. Bodenstab as an orthopedic doctor.
