Dr. Brodke's team was well organized, coordiated, and quite adept at meeting my needs and answering my questions. Jason had answers to questions even before I asked. My next apportionment was arranged before I even asked about it. Amber was also reassuring and knowledgable, getting stretching exercises to me immediately. Darrell was, as always - the complete physician.

Embarrassed to admit I don't recall the name of the doc I spoke with, but, in short, he was personable, extremely knowledagble and very helpful. Am terribly impressed with my medical team at your facility...beginning with the snowcapped summit of sugical expertise...Dr. Brode. Thanks to him, I am at the gym seven days a week and sneaking in hikes in between workouts. But, down the line, all better than good. Had a very good and helpful review with the doc who called last week. Most of all, he listened and addressed my concerns with real proficiency. Thanks to all on your end.

I largely defer to the care providers regarding decision on how to best resolve the structural deficiency in my body. The imaging made it clear what the condition is. I also have high confidence they will proceed competently during surgery. This is what matters most.

I've had more than 20 Orthopaedic surgeries in mylar 20 years. This doesn't include normal kid surgery like wisdom teeth, broken bones and toenail removal and bone scraping. I feel extremely confident in my ability to judge a doctor in all ways. I trust him medically because my personal physician trusts him and has referred others to him , and then they have had gotten good results. I know he had the best bedside manners I've ever experienced. I loved how excited his Fellow was during my examination.
