What Patients Say

RW
Excellent care and concern from the time I was called into the room. He thoroughly explained my injury and what my options were. My best option was surgery which he performed 5 days later. He greeted me at the surgery center and explained the procedure that was going to take place. Surgery went well. Im on my way to a full recovery and very thankful to have crossed paths with Dr. Bohm and to have him for my care during this time. Also, the entire staff from my initial checkin to scheduling to follow-up care were all courteous, professional, and on point. Such a well organized team.

I was treated for my broken wrist in a very timely manner. I was able to see Dr. Bohm the same day I injured it. I was able to have surgery within three days of seeing Dr. Bohm. The front desk, staff, nurses treated me very well. I am on my way to almost full use of my arm. I am having physical therapy here too, which is really helping me regain strength in my arm.
