- “It’s been my pleasure to have Dr. Hodde as part of my family's healthcare. He has a bedside manner that is so needed, especially in the times we are living in right now. He helps you to feel less stressed with his knowledge as a physician. Thank you for allowing Dr. Hodde and the staff to be at their best.”– Veronica W.Patient Rating:
Treating Doctor: - “Dr. Smith and his team went above and beyond the call of duty in treating our son. Dr. Smith immediately and precisely diagnosed our son's injury and, with his staff, put together an excellent, patient-centered treatment plan. Dr. Smith explained everything to us, welcomed our input, and devised an approach that provided maximum care while respecting our son's desire (as a career athlete) to get back on the playing field. We would highly recommend this outstanding and caring physician, who is clearly an expert in his field of medicine. 5 out of 5 stars in every category. Thank you.”– Gina M.Patient Rating:
