Dr. Woodson, Thank you for everything: your teaching, tips you learned along the way and allowing me to joke with you about sports. The way you practice medicine will be a model for me in how I practice out of school. There is a reason why that lobby gets full all the time and why patients want to be a “Dr.W only.” Your empathy and compassion to each individual leaves a lasting impact. I appreciate my 2.5 years at BOSI. I am grateful that this became one of my stops along my journey, one that I will never forget. I wish you and your family nothing but the best, maybe our paths will cross once again. Until then, I sure hope SF bats get hot. LOL Had to throw that in there.

Testimonials
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.
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 making me even!
Dr. Woodson and staff, We love you guys. God Bless your soul!! For all you do for the world.
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.
Dear Dr. Woodson, Once again I thank you for the expert care you have given me in my second knee replacement. I am so happy with the outcomes of having “new” knees and being able to get back to my activities and mobility. It truly is a gift that you have given me.
I had been living with a torn labrum and bone spur in my hip for 6 years. Prior to this discovery I was constantly searching for a reason why my hip hurt all the time. I finally came to Dr. Woodson from a referral from my doctor’s office and he confidently told me he could take care of me. After a couple visits I decided to go thru with the surgery to repair this. He told me once the surgery was complete I would feel no pain. I am amazed and so very pleased!!! NO PAIN IS RIGHT!! My surgery was just 3 days ago and I feel amazing. I am on my way to recovery and just want to say thank you to him and his staff. They reassured me every step of the way all the way to the operating table. I can go on and on……he is a wonderful surgeon and doctor!!!
Dr Klug,
Thanks for listening to me and sending me to the two doctors. It makes all the difference in the world.
Dear, Dr. Woodson, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have no idea how much of a blessing you are to me. Thanks for being such an amazing doctor. You are a blessing on earth. A million thanks to you.
