Patient Comments
Overall very satisfied
Dr. Thoder has taken good care of me. I have confidence in his knowledge and game plan.
Always an excellent experience with Dr. Thoder . Gives clear explanation, very thorough and shows concern for patient.
It was impressive and assuring to be treated at teaching hospital by a physician who is also an instructor. Dr Thoder clearly is a top-notch doc
As any more surgery options are off the table, we decided on a course of cortisone shots. Those combined with wearing the brace are making the pain at least manageable.
