Dr. Woodson, Thank you very much for your expertise and advice for my grandson. Last year at this time he tore his UCL in football. He has since played the entire baseball season as a freshman at Los Al and the past few months for the CBA U15. We were lucky to have friends encourage us to see you at that time.

Testimonials
I am writing this review for my 85-year-old mother. I am a recently retired chiropractor with 35 years of practice experience. I feel this lifetime of experience has given me a little extra insight when reviewing a physician, particularly when regarding the spine. My mother had lower back, buttock and leg pain which left her unable to walk without bending forward. She could only walk if she was bent forward, using a walker or hanging onto a shopping cart for support. She was unable to stand up straight without experiencing sharp, shooting pain in her buttock and leg. This is called a “Shopping Cart Sign”, which indicates severe spinal stenosis. As you can imagine, I had lots of questions for Dr. Bernbeck. Many of them more technical than the average person would be able to ask. Usually, I would get a second opinion. However, I was so satisfied with Dr. Bernbeck’s demeanor, and his honest, straightforward answers to my questions, that we decided to go forward with the procedure without a second opinion. We could not be more happy with the decision. Following the procedure, Dr. Bernbeck responded quickly to adjust pain medication to keep my mother comfortable. There was usually a return call within two hours. It is now four weeks after surgery. My mother walked a mile yesterday with no pain. There is still some off and on soreness, which Dr. Bernbeck told us we should expect for a few more months. Overall, this was an excellent experience, and I would highly recommend Dr. Bernbeck to any of my friends or colleagues. My review – 10 out of 10.
Dr. Chris Woodson is a phenomenal orthopedic doctor and surgeon. I would recommend him to anyone needing an orthopedic specialist. Not only is he a great doctor and surgeon with a warm bed side manner, he is very responsive and proactive with his patients. He came in at the 11th hour to save my son from an unnecessary surgery. My 9 year old son fell on his elbow at school and we thought it was broken. The elbow specialist we saw the day of the accident insisted that he needed surgery right away to repair the damage. He insisted the repairs needed to be done immediately before the elbow continued to grow, making a 100% recovery impossible. As I prepared to take my son to the hospital for surgery, Dr. Woodson reviewed my son’s x-rays and within hours of leaving for the hospital, Dr. Woodson called to say that HE DID NOT NEED SURGERY! After reviewing the xrays, he determined that what looks like a break is actually the growth plate, and he 100% does not need surgery. That was five years ago, my son did not have the surgery. His elbow healed perfectly on its own and he’s is 100%. I am forever indebted to Dr. Woodson for his expertise, and will unconditionally recommend him to others.
I have had both conservative and surgical treatment with Dr. Woodson. He is the best! He is always kind, respectful and compassionate. He listens and takes the time to answer all questions and thoroughly explain everything without ever being condescending. His entire staff is also wonderful. Sometimes there may be a bit of a wait at his office, but I remind myself that he may be giving someone that bit of extra time they need and, next time, it may be me. Thank you, Dr. Woodson, for taking such good care of me and my family. You have our trust.
Thanks for taking care of me.
Dr. Woodson, Thank you for “putting me back together again.” I really appreciate you! You’re the best!
Dr. Woodson, I can’t thank you enough for “fixing me” and always giving me VIP treatment. You have given me the gift to chase after my rugrats without any pain. Luckily I can still outrun them now, but maybe not in ten years when I’ll really need my wheels! Being able to wrestle with my boys and simply do a puzzle on the ground means the world to me and no I can do that without any hesitation. I am forever grateful to you.
Dr. Woodson, You have truly blessed me and Brittany with your God-given talents! I am so grateful to be on the path to healing and recovery and get back to an active lifestyle. How amazing for you to be blessed with the gift of healing, and I am so grateful! Thank you so much! May God richly bless you and your family! All the best!
Dear Dr. Woodson, I couldn’t have imagined that I’d have experienced minimal pain, if any (!), during my recovery. And for that, I’m grateful for your skill, expertise and your patience in explaining the pros & cons of your surgical recommendations to a “somewhat” skeptical patient. With that being said, I’m more than confident I’ll be returning to my favorite sport soon!
To Dr. Woodson and Staff! Thank you for all your support through my hip surgery! A special thanks to Dr. Woodson, Ryan (who helped us with the prescriptions for pain), Andy (at the surgical center) and Megan Chen.
