I am not nervous or anxious about going into an operating room-but I’ve always left it up to the surgeon as to whether he wants me “out” when I’m wheeled in or if I can be awake and help move myself from the gurney to the table. After all, it’s their show. This was the first time I was fully awake and was on the gurney when Dr. Bernbeck stood over me, introduced me to the surgical team and went over the procedure, what he expected and what he wanted ready to go for the operation. For me, it was so very interesting-and appreciated. I can imagine that it doesn’t work for everyone and there are time constraints, anxiety levels, etc. that can change from patient- to- patient, but for me, it was the very best experience. Add to that his talent and you have another star.

Testimonials
Dr. Woodson, Thank you for two very pleasant hip replacement operations. The freedom that comes from being able to walk, hike, and do aerobics is incredible. I also never thought I would be able to sit cross-legged in this life again, either! Your work is so much appreciated. With grateful thanks.
Dr. Woodson, Thank you for fixing my hip and allowing me to be pain free again!
Happy Thanksgiving Dr. Woodson & Staff! I am thankful that you guys took such great care of me and my knee!
I heartily endorse going pain-free.
As for what gave me the most relief? I’m not really sure as there was no “magic bullet”. It could be the 6 months of healing time. It could be the Durolane. It could be the Gabapentin or the Methylpredisolone. Or it could be that the whole team is finally learning to pull together.
Whatever it is, I’m grateful (my whole family is grateful) for the relief and I didn’t want to just “disappear” without letting you know what was going on and to thank you for your time and your help and considerations.
Dr Woodson and his staff are top notch. With special thanks to Estela for always being so efficient in all I asked for. Trouble free 110% Thank you Dr Woodson for providing me with the best care i could have asked for. On the road to recovery.
Dr. Woodson & Staff, You made my day! thank you for being so helpful. You are amazing.
Dear Chris, Ray, Johannes, and the Beach Staff, Thank you for the excellent care you give “me” and my patients. Have a happy and healthy new year.
I was referred to Dr. Bernbeck from my previous Orthopedic Surgeon who was leaving the state. Great referral! Without going into the details of the issue with my back, I needed to get the previous surgery corrected. Dr. Bernbeck used multiple tests to isolate the problem, recommend a corrective procedure and describe his entire process from pre surgery home activity through surgery, post op recovery and home health services with physical therapy. Both my wife and I were impressed with his thoroughness in explaining everything including risks. Surgery went to plan, even had someone who monitored spinal signal flow via stimulus and response signals, to ensure my safety during the procedure. Dr. Bernbeck was there daily to check on me after surgery. I am very satisfied with the results just a few weeks after surgery. Dr. Bernbeck is excellent, easy to work with, nice guy, great surgeon. I would highly recommend him to anyone who would welcome a thorough evaluation and a competent surgeon.
My husband tore his left bicep tendon, so I wanted to do my research on nearby orthopedic surgeons. I came across this facility on Yelp, and we decided to make an appt for a consultation due to the great reviews. I’m really glad we did. When we called, they made room to see my husband that same day. This was already a good first impression of this spot.
My husband met with Dr. Klug. He was very knowledgeable, and was told he’s the elbow and shoulder specialist.
Overall, everything from making an appointment, speaking with the surgeon, scheduling the surgery, and follow up went smoothly.
I would recommend this place if you’re in need of an orthopedic surgeon.
