    If I lived here, I would, without a doubt, ask Dr. Brodke to perform my treatment. I needed to find answers about my stenosis and possible treatment options and was so glad I was able to get an appointment with him. He explained everything so I could understand it. He also had a great recommendation for me to follow up with a doctor at Mass General in Boston after I get back soon. Thanks for everyones help!

    I've had far too much experience, but, based on that, I would say Dr. Brodke is the best doc all around that I've ever had in my 74 years.

    Dr. Brodke, his MA, and the nurse who does the preadmission "stuff" were all so good to work with. The people in radiology were great too. Dr. Brodke took his time going through my MRI and gave me confidence in his abilities and that now is the time to fix the problems in my lower back. He has been seeing me for eight or nine years, and he has been conservative an supportive about avoiding surgery, but we knew it may not last. The MA showed me slides from the MRI and took the time to explain things to me. The nurse was great and understood how I was feeling. This is the perfect office. They all work together for the patients' good and are efficient, yet I feel like they take time with me to answer my questions and to respond to my concerns. I wish every medical practice ran like this. I suspect Dr. Brodke is highly organized and crafted his office to run like this.
