very knowledgeable and courteous heard patiently my issues
Dr. Stenquist has proven to be the right trauma surgeon for the injuries I suffered last Fall when I fell in my house. I will be forever thankful for the expert care he has given me. It has been a long and difficult recovery, but he made the right decision at the beginning for the best result at the end.
His explanation of what was wrong. Set me up with physical therapy immediately. Very happy with the Doctor.
Dr. Stenquist, as well as his PA were attentive, respectful, and informative during my visit. They heard my concerns and provided me with information in regard to them, and provided suggestions. Great team!
He understood my living situation and figured a work around for my ankle. So far so good. I return Thursday for a f/u to this solution.
Trustworthy; skilled; engaged; careful; empathetic. All around excellent and confident in having Dr. Stenquist perform my surgery.
Both Dr. Stenquist and his PA [redacted] we're very friendly,courteous and informative. They listened to everything I had to say and helped me make an informed decision on how to move forward. I have a leg fracture and serious knee injury and they were very careful and understanding in how they examined me. Great experience in a difficult time.
It has always been very good and the attention is very adequate.
Great listener, made me feel heard and reassured. I left feeling clear about next steps for my recovery.
