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.

Testimonials
thank you for “fixing” me.
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.
I’m am grateful for your knowledge, patience, compassion, and understanding! Heartfelt thanks and appreciation.
Dr. Woodson, Thank you so much for the excellent job you did with my right hip replacement. I’ve been amazed how little pain I’ve had. Ice packs and Tylenol take care of it. I came home from Alamitos Belmont 2/4. One of the therapists had me walking outside without the walker! I will get home health and therapy. Thanks again.
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.
It’s my nature to be in my head, so much so of late, that I forgot to thank you properly! I believe living outside my head will be easier now that your expertise has put me back in working order. I really can’t thank you enough for that. Simply the ability to step out into the world again without a thought about how it’s going to work out is already truly a pleasure. And I can’t wait to explore Berlin again on foot, unlike last year when, for the first time ever, I mourned my car! Much to look forward to. Thank you for helping me to get back on track and for your ability to read me & lighten things up!
Dr. Woodson, Thank you for the hip replacement surgery in May 2024 and helping me get back to quality of life activities, gardening, golf, and senior women’s volleyball. I am so grateful of your entire staff, from office clerks to x-ray technicians.
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.

Much to look forward to. Thank you for helping me to get back on track and for your ability to read me + lighten things up!
