Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent Care
Incredible care, very professional, and the level of intention to have success and a full recovery long after surgery was amazing. Definitely would recommend Dr. Woodhead to anyone and will continue to use his care should I need it in the future.

Excellent appointment today!
Dr. Woodhead takes the time to talk to his patients and really find out what is happening with their symptoms and how they are affecting their lives so he has a clear understanding and direction what the best treatment options should be.

Good experience
The online check-in before my appointment was easy and quick. My appointment started right on time. Staff at check-in were prompt and friendly. The waiting rooms are sunny and quiet. The staff who showed me to the exam room and who brought me printed info at the end of my appointment were friendly, prompt, and relaxed. My conversations with Jordan and Dr. Woodhead were informative and helpful, and neither were impatient or in a hurry. Their explanations, descriptions of surgery, recovery and rehabilitation were clear and easy to understand. In every instance, I received the full attention of all the staff I saw. I’m 73 years old and need total shoulder replacement surgery. I have no doubt that Dr. Woodhead and his staff will do an excellent job.

Great Doc
Dr. Woodhead treated me for an injury 5 years ago. He did a great job. So when I injured my shoulder that's who I asked to see. He remembered me! I saw his PA first but then he came in and confirmed everything. He explained what's going on in detail, did the treatment I needed, and we're on our way!
