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.

Dr. Bodzin is a great dedicated doctor . I met him 19 yrs ago when my husband was shot in the Abdomen. He demonstrated dedication and was blessing in our lives. I can truly say he went up and beyond to save my husbands live.We are forever grateful for him!!

Emergency Bowel Resection - Ow and WOW
Dr. Bodzin quite literally saved my life. CT scan at 5, read at 7, i was on his operating room table at 8 pm. A week later, I'm home, walking normally, with minimal pain. His “stitch work” is amazing,. I don’t think I’ll have much of a scar. After this, Dr Bodzin is my go-to general surgeon.

I had surgery September 2019. Dr Bodzin thoroughly review my options and potential implications of delaying or not having the surgery. The Pre-op tests discussion at Tri- point were thorough and ensured I was informed about the procedure and after care. Pleased with post-opt visit attentiveness as well

Dr Bozdin did inguinal surgery on me. My surgery was done on time as scheduled. He explained the details of surgery as well as recovery procedure. I expected serious pain for at least 3 days but had only one night of pain. I was up and walking the very next day. If you follow his instructions to not lift over 10# and avoid pushing and pulling you can expect full recovery in 4 weeks( for a job that requires heavy lifting) otherwise if you have a desk job you can expect to be back to work in a few days. At my 2 week follow up I felt like my old self but was warned to follow the lifting and pulling and pushing guidelines. To sum this up, I would highly recommend Dr Bodzin.

I had surgery 3/22/19, the operation was terrible. the wound opened up I had to go to an ER and then to a urgent care then again to my family doctor. I finally had to see a plastic surgeon/wound care specialist for 6 weeks. I asked Lake to review the surgery and they sent me to collections and told me it was done correctly. so if it was done correctly why am I out $400.00 for special wound care supplies, and an ER bill which I had to pay due to out of network. Also I have to pay the wound care doctor and my family doctor. I also lost a lot of time at work due to the wound opening up, so I am out that money as well. I would never recommend Lake Health, Tri-Point or Dr. Bodzin. So thanks to all the expert care I am in collections and out a couple thousand dollars. And the scars hurt and look like crap!!!!!

Dr. Bodzin repaired a bi-lateral hernia for me on May 30. 2019. I found him to be informative and very professional. After discussions with several members of the operating team and hospital it was clear he is very well respected in his professional circle with an excellent track record. So far a very good experience. I would recommend him without reservation.

Dr Bodzin performed surgery on me, he repaired two hernias .It was quite complicated but he took great care of me. Yes at first I thought he was arrogant, he's not arrogant he's right to the point. He told me exactly what I need to do so that there will not be a repeat of this surgery. I did not take it personal, I took it as a doctor who cares about his patient. I would highly recommend him.

In an ideal situation, each of us hope that our medical interactions will be filled with competent, skilled, compassionate medical professionals. HORRIBLE experience w/him. He performed surgery on me the beginning of 2018 - never again would I permit him to even touch me. He is a very arrogant, cocky little man - might be his problem. No bedside manner! Apparent he didn't care about me as his patient. My entire surgical experience was very negative from beginning to end. Would not recommend

He was very arrogant due to me being a smoker with a prior heart attack years ago he asked me if I wanted him to give me a loaded gun to put to my head, I have never seen a more unprofessional doctor and will never be back to him or allow him to do any surgery on me
