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.

Testimonials
Thanks for taking care of me.
I am absolutely overwhelmed by the quality of the doctors, staff and facilities at BOSI. Chris and Ray are great and I’ve known that for a while. My experience with Dr. Bernbeck wasn’t just superior, it was stellar. As you know, I’ve had more than my share of surgeries with a number of quality surgeons. You’ve got the top three guys around and I couldn’t say more than that. I’ll continue to let everyone know.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know how very impressed I am with everything there, from the first visit all the way through post-op and follow-up.
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.
I saw Dr. Bernbeck as a second opinion and I am so glad I decided to do that. He is a very good surgeon and a thorough practitioner. He covered every possible scenario before it happened so I would be prepared if it did. He was extremely professional and his staff are excellent. Marlena the surgery scheduler was a godsend and the receptionist and back office staff are really the highlight of the practice. Great doctors attract the best staff. Thank you for making me feel welcome, comfortable, and less scared.
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.
Dear Dr. Woodson,
Here’s a little thank you gift to let you know how much I appreciate you. FYI, I can almost fully extend my left leg, lol!
I’ve been working on it. So lucky to have you taking care of me.
Thank you, Dr. Woodson, for helping Grant with his broken femur, you are an amazing Doctor! Your staff is so professional and take the time with concern.
Dr. Woodson, Thank you for “putting me back together again.” I really appreciate you! You’re the best!
Happy Thanksgiving Dr. Woodson & Staff! I am thankful that you guys took such great care of me and my knee!
