Patient Reviews

Wait was longer than expected but Dr is worth it trust him far and way above many others. I've seen at different times in my life. It means a lot for me to say this in that I've always pushed through injuries and never let up or slowed down until the pain is incapacitating in an extreme. He understands pain.

Dr. O’Boynick was very professional and knowledgeable. He explained the course of action that he wanted to take to correct my back pain. As a last resort, we decided to go forward with decompression, and I'm very happy with the outcome. He is an excellent doctor, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Katie listens, is compassionate, and assessed my progress. She made suggestions to continue improving. Katie addressed my concerns and encouraged me to continue my physical therapy regimen. She also listened to an outside issue and offered support and information to help me. As always, Katie goes above and beyond to treat, support, and encourage me. I am grateful to have her as my provider.

I've been a patient of Bethanie's for many years. Besides being a professional, Bethanie is very good at what she does while being friendly, kind, caring, and attentive. She truly cares about her patients and listens to their concerns.

Dr. Kramer is an excellent doctor. He is calm and relaxed. I think he fixed my knees very good - I was kind of shaky about getting them done but after he did the first one I had no worries letting him do the second one!
