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. Boedefeld is a very personable man with excellent people skills. Luckily for me, his surgical skills are just as good. I dreaded this CABG surgery because of my observations of post-operative suffering experienced by both of my parents and some other relatives in the past. To my surprise, my post-operative pain was not only bearable but easily manageable. His staff is very helpful and provided good educational materials.

It is so great to see such a wonderful doctor that is doing what he loves. He was among the doctors that saved my life when I was only 12 when he was at UAB. I had a Wilms tumor (cancer) on my kidneys. Thank you Dr. Boedefeld!

I chose Dr Bodefeld for valve replacement surgery because my brother had used him for by-pass surgery. He did a great with my surgery. When I had to have the surgery a second time in a couple of month's time, Dr. Boedefeld put me at ease. Doing the surgeries so close together has it's risks. Dr. Boedefeld performed the surgery flawlessly and I would use him again if needed.

Dr. Boedefeld and his staff provide top notch care and compassion which give the patient such as myself the best overall experience. I had a failing aortic valve by Dr. Boedefeld and did a lot of reading before choosing him. He performed the operation flawlessly, and when I developed acute respiratory distress syndrome (a dangerous side effect of the surgery) Dr. Boedefeld and team once again stepped in and saved my life. I recommend Dr. Boedefeld to anyone considering valve replacement.
