Testimonials

I found my experience with Dr. Woodworth and all of his staff absolutely perfect. They were extremely prompt, especially with the procedure. The whole process was very efficient, professional, and pleasant. I would like to give accolades to all of his team, especially Mel and Marian! All my dealings with his Office staff, especially the ex marine, (her name escapes me) were exceptional! Dr. Woodworth was pleasant, friendly, and seemed knowledgeable which added to my confidence in him and his judgments!

Gail N. | May 22, 2026

He is so personable and kind. He explains everything so you understand what’s happening and he is concerned about his patients.

Terri S. | May 20, 2026

I had the best experience with Dr. Woodworth and his staff, it was my second procedure to fix the first one that failed. They explained everything in detail and took great care of me during and after the procedure. I would definitely recommend him to fix hernia's, his expertise is off the charts.

Veronica G. | May 19, 2026

I had a lot of confidence in Dr. Woodworth & staff. Second time to have these tests. Appreciated time before egd to have ?s answered. Wish they could have reached out to my husband after so he could have been present. Some anxiety about biopsies (not had before) Motility test was more painful than i had remembered, but staff person was kind.

Julie R. | May 13, 2026

I can not say enough nice words about Dr. Woodworth! He provides kind and compassionate care, is the very best at what he does and made certain I was well informed and knew all my options! I highly recommend this surgeon, you will not be disappointed in the care you receive! Thank you Dr. Woodworth!

Greg H. | May 11, 2026

Loved his bedside manner very down to earth yet professional. Very nice

Terri S. | May 10, 2026

From start to finish, Dr. Woodworth and his team are just top notch. Every phone call is taken promptly, answers to questions are clear and everyone is so kind, caring and polite! Dr. Woodworth is so personable and down to earth. He is easy to talk to and doesn't talk over your head. I highly recommend this practice!

Mary N. | May 08, 2026

What I appreciate about Dr. Woodworth Is that he takes the time to not only listen to my concerns, but to ask what I considered pertinent questions regarding the concerns I had. He is also very personable, which, in my opinion, makes it very easy to have a conversation with him.

Alan M. | May 07, 2026

I had a Nissen fundoplication with Dr, Woodworth about 4 years ago. It was the worst mistake I've made in my life. My life is so much worse since having the surgery. I can never empty my esophagus and have constant thick reflux all day, no matter if I eat or drink or not. When I called to see about further treatment, his assistant was horribly rude. Very unsatisfied patient. Patricia ONeill

Patricia O. | May 06, 2026

Dr woodworth was very thorough with explaining what was going on with my hernia & the steps on how he is going to fix it. Very pleasant & caring. Look forward to having it taken care of & feeling better.

Arthur C. | Apr 30, 2026

Carol V. | Apr 24, 2026

Dianne P. | Apr 23, 2026

Many thanks to Dr Woodworth and his team for an excellent experience with my surgery.

Georgiana I. | Apr 22, 2026

He got to my appointment quickly. He made the assessment and had a plan for recovery. He scheduled procedure within a week. I am looking for ward to working with he and his staff to resolve my hernia problem.

Ralph N. | Apr 22, 2026

I didn't think it possible for a surgeon to equal the 'hands', expertise and humanity of Dr. Reggie Bell. But I'll be darned if Dr. Woodworth not only equaled the task but exceeded my highest expectations. His sharpness, attention to detail, willingness to spend the necessary time and technical ability represents a bar to which other surgeons should strive. I've often found the quality of a physician's office staff and assistants mirror that of the physician. I don't think I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with such an efficient and pleasant group of women. Thank you staff. Thank you Dr. Woodworth. ;-) Mark

Mark G. | Apr 19, 2026

Everyone was great. Took time to explain everything and answer all my questions. I would refer Dr. Woodworth and his team to everyone.

Melissa Y. | Apr 18, 2026

I had excellent care and was treated in a very professional manner. With the robotic surgery, I only needed medications for pain 3 days post surgery. My recovery was amazing!

Belinda K. | Apr 18, 2026

Shawna L. | Apr 09, 2026

Dr Woodworth is personable, caring, attentive. He earned my trust for surgery.

Robert A. | Apr 09, 2026

I was very impressed with Dr Woodworth! He was very friendly and helped guide me to the right treatment decision. He explained everything very well and articulated the pros and cons of each option perfectly. He's also very friendly and easy to talk to.

Ryan S. | Apr 09, 2026

Dr. Woodworth was it delightful and caring person. He was very professional, efficient, and easily understood. I like the fact that we could do telehealth and make it so meaningful. I liked his lighthearted demeanor and his efficiency at identifying what the next steps would be. Also, I liked to say that I loved dealing with his office staff. Kudos, especially to Brenda, who helped me lineup everything, and walked me through the process of telehealth. I look forword to continuing with Dr. Woodworth and his office!

Gail N. | Apr 09, 2026

On time, pleasant, clear explanations, efficient and has a sense of humor.

A great experience for my gallbladder surgery! Staff was very helpful, caring and supportive even after I came home.

Jenifer B. | Apr 08, 2026

From the moment I met Dr. Woodworth I knew I was in good hands. He listens to his patient. He calmly answers all questions and concerns and then, he throughly explains the best course of action going forward. He has a very positive attitude and makes his patient feel secure AND his entire team is so helpful and considerate. In my opinion, this is the best care I have ever received from start to finish.

Trish S. | Apr 08, 2026

First Class Hospital at Sky Ridge! First Class Nursing Staff! First Class Anesthesiologist! REMARKABLE SURGEON!!! Thank you for the BEST Care….

Marc S. | Apr 04, 2026

Great visit. Very knowledgeable and easy to talk too. Explained everything very well and easy to understand. Thank You

Becky L. | Apr 04, 2026

Dr Woodworth makes me feel like everything is going to be fine; he's going to do his best to take care of me. He treats me like a person not just another procedure.

Mary D. | Apr 03, 2026

A professional of the very highest degree. Not only brilliant at diagnosing illness, but expert at treating the illness. Very kind once you get to know him. Don’t let his professional behavior fool you into thinking he does not care about you. He is always ready to move on to the next step of treatment. The epitome of a knowledgeable physician with outstanding personality perfectly suited for his profession. I don’t know where you could go to get better or more knowledgeable treatment. Been to Mayo Clinic- Dr. Woodworth light years ahead of their cookie cutter treatment plans!

David A. | Apr 02, 2026

Appointment started on time which helps lessen my anxiety. Dr. Woodworth has a friendly and bright way about him which, again helps to put me at ease. The nurse who performed the torture test on me was effective at performing the test and helping me tolerate it. Importantly, when I first called the office I had to leave a message, but I got a return call very soon and an appointment was made right away. That is unlike so many medical practices that put you on hold for very long times, make you choose between a long list of options about which department or person you want to connect with and/or ask you to leave a message which they never return or they want you to make an online appointment that doesn’t allow you to factor in constraining circumstances and is not confirmed. This practice knows there is more to medicine than technical skills.

Frederick F. | Apr 02, 2026

Great experience with Dr Woodworth. He was kind compassionate and thorough. I look forward to getting my surgery taken care of and moving on with life. I have great confidence in Dr woodworth's ability to perform my surgery and getting me back on to the road to recovery.

Ryan W. | Mar 30, 2026

My recent appointment with Dr Woodworth was definitely 5 stars. Dr Woodworth listened to my concerns and took the time to answer all of my questions but most importantly he made me feel confident that he would take care of me if surgery becomes necessary.

Debbie B. | Mar 27, 2026

He gave me confidence that I was in good hands. There was a lot less pain than I had expected’. It was truly minimally invasive. I had a .Nissen Fundoplacation with a partial wrap. It has only been two days since the operation so time will tell as to how well it works for me.

Linda D. | Mar 27, 2026

A human in the best sense.

Mark G. | Mar 25, 2026

Dr. Woodworth was a great listener during my consultation and went over options to fix my twice failed hernia repair. Appreciate that he was not dismissive of my questions and concerns and clearly explained options to me.

Teri S. | Mar 25, 2026

Very easy process to meet the doc as my surgeon and get surgery scheduled. He is very personable and explains things in terms that are easy to understand. I feel very confident going into the surgery process. Support staff were great too.

Alicia J. | Mar 25, 2026

I am a 36 year retired Army Veteran so I don't waste time being flowery. If you have a hietal hernia, you need to get it fixed. Don't pay attention to YouTube bloggers telling you to manage it yourself. Getting surgery will extend your life! If you need surgery, have it done by Dr. Woodworth. He and his team are the best. I never met Dr. Woodworth before my first consultation, and I will never go to anyone else for GI needs. I received hietal hernia surgery with LINX procedure to correct a 7cm hernia.

Lance P. | Mar 21, 2026

Dr. Woodworth was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. He gave me good information to ponder and answered all of my questions.

Anne R. | Mar 21, 2026

The doctor and staff were great, everything was on schedule, no issue with the procedure.

Steven C. | Mar 20, 2026

Dr. Woodworking was engaging and easy to talk to while exploring all my concerns. He let me speak without interruption and fully responded to all my questions. I left the consultation feeling that I was in good hands going forward.

Trish S. | Mar 19, 2026

Staff and doctor are great. The whole experience was good

L Dean M. | Mar 16, 2026

Dr. Woodworth is not only a gifted surgeon, he is a warm, personable, caring doctor. My first appointment with him was a zoom call. I explained my long journey with a gastroenterologist, including three endoscopies, a stretching of my esophagus, and diagnosis of a hiatal hernia. I was given a prescription for meds, which I avoided taking. Opting to watch my diet and take supplements, instead. This was merely a bandaid. The heartburn and acid reflux worsened, and at times I had intense chest pains. I developed a cough that caused choking at meals. A friend referred me to Dr. Woodworth, and after listening to my complaints, without hesitation said he could help me. My surgery went well, and my symptoms disappeared immediately. I consider it a miracle. I highly recommend Dr. Woodworth and his amazing staff.

Ellen C. | Mar 14, 2026

I always have a few nerves about doing video calls. I am 72 years old and that is not how I usually see the doctor! And I am not really tech savvy. Dr. Woodworth makes it so easy. We had a little glitch in the audio so he just stopped and said he'd call on the phone. He listened to my symptoms very thoroughly and told me the next steps. From calling the office to see about an appointment to talking with the doctor was so easy. What a well run practice!

Mary N. | Mar 13, 2026

I was pleased with Dr Phillip Woodworth’s expertise in Esophageal and Reflux surgery. Also that he is very high rated in robotic and laparoscopic surgery. I had surgery on March 6, 2026 and very confident that the surgery would go well even though he faced a complication with my surgery. Thankfully everything was fixed, I had a very large Hiatial hernia. I would highly recommend Dr Phillip Woodworth.

Louise T. | Mar 13, 2026

I was very nervous going into my initial appointment with Dr. Woodworth. Within the first few seconds, all of that anxiety goes away once you meet him. Dr. Woodworth destroys the stigma of just going into a doctors office by imediately wanting to get to know you and what makes you tick. He is absolutely incredible at getting to know you and fitting his skills as a surgeon to fit your needs. I personally love working out at the gym daily and he made it a point to make sure the procedure he was thinking about was going to be a success for my application. I am so glad I searched out THE BEST and received a second opinion with Doctor Woodworth. I would recommend him to everybody. Deffinately worth the trip from out of state.

Kevin V. | Mar 12, 2026

The surgeon who referred me to Dr. Woodworth has great confidence in his skills, and that was comforting to me. Dr. Woodworth is easy to talk with, explains the procedure in layman's terms that I could understand. Dr. Woodworth explained some of the reasons that my previous surgery had failed and what he would modify to improve my chances for sucess this time. That was extreemly important to me! My surgery went well, and so far my recovery is going way better than the last time that i had this surgery. I am less than a week post surgery, and I feel very hopeful that my quality of life is going to be much improved.

Melissa F. | Mar 12, 2026

Dr. Woodworth demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise throughout my care. I underwent a standard fundoplication and hernia repair, during which Dr. Woodworth identified and successfully repaired a significant, previously undiagnosed diaphragmatic hernia. I have complete confidence in Dr. Woodworth and would highly recommend him to anyone requiring reflux surgery. His staff were courteous, attentive, and addressed all of my concerns promptly. The entire experience was organized, efficient, and conducted to the highest professional standards.

Sanford S. | Mar 12, 2026

Dr. Woodworth is organized, thorough, and an excellent surgeon. His support staff is fabulous and knowledgeable. A great experience!

Gerald M. | Mar 06, 2026

Dr. Woodworth was absolutely amazing! He was happy, had amazing bedside manner, went over everything that was gonna happen and beyond that he has a very positive staff! This was my 11th surgery and of course you never get used to surgery but having so many positive people reassuring you, explaining what will happen and each part really put my mind at ease. If I had another gallbladder I would let the take that one too haha!

Samantha C. | Mar 06, 2026

Absolutely everyone was very professional and friendly. Answered all my questions etc…. Great team!

Scptt P. | Mar 04, 2026

Excellent surgical team. Major surgery but I went home the same day.

Bernard G. | Feb 27, 2026

First appointment, Dr, Woodworth is very attentive, listen to my situation and quickly developed a plan to find the cause of my issue, and hopefully fixed my condition.

Steven C. | Feb 26, 2026

Although it’s only been 24 hours. My experience was excellent. Dr Woodworth is clear, efficient and did a great job explaining the process and the whole team was dialed in. I had a what seems to be a positive outcome

Richard R. | Feb 25, 2026

The best.

Tom K. | Feb 10, 2026

Today was my first time visiting Dr Woodworth for a hernia repair consultation. He was so kind and friendly as was his staff. Im thrilled to be working with him and his office staff.

Tracey P. | Feb 10, 2026

Leave your apprehensions and concerns before you walk in to an attractively adorned office. There you will immediately be greeted by a comforting team of ladies, focused on giving you their full attention without rushing. Now, think of your best friend -at any level - in school. Who did you enjoy playing with on your street, growing up? A favorite aunt, uncle, grandparent; you know there is one. That person, described above, knocks and opens a door to the rest of your life! He excitedly meets his new patient, extending his hand for a shake; you ready to meet your 'Peter Pan'. I wish and pray that as you read this acknowledgement, that you may access a comfort that I havent experienced in over 40 years of moderate to severe body maladies.

Steve M. | Feb 10, 2026

All was good

Faith B. | Feb 09, 2026

Dr Woodworth and staff was excellent, very helpful, and answered all my questions.

Sanford S. | Feb 09, 2026

Dr Woodworth is great - excellent surgery with compassion and a refreshing sense of humor

Robert C. | Feb 07, 2026

The Dr. was wonderful and explained what was needed to fix my hernia. His receptionist, nurse and staff were very efficient, terrific and helpful. My only problem was getting the initial appointment. The people in the Phillipines handling that missed my GI doctors referral, I had to call, then the lady I dealt with was very nice, but she explained that someone else aslo makes the Drs. appointment, so she couldn't fit me in for 6 weeks. In all fairness after we set the date she did have a cancelation, but that was when I was out of town, then she lost the original date she booked me with. It was confusing.

Vivien V. | Feb 07, 2026

Experience with Dr Woodworth was excellent.

Bernard G. | Feb 06, 2026

Dr. Woodworth listened to my symtoms and tries to figure out the best course of action. He is polite and generally feels concerned with what is happening to me. I could ask questions and he would answer them without making me feel like I was bothering him. I have total confidence in him.

Priscilla M. | Feb 05, 2026

I have been working with Dr. Woodworth for over a year and I have had nothing but wonderful experiences including telehealth, testing, surgery, and follow up appointments. Him and his staff are lovely and understanding. They will do anything they can to make you feel comfortable and well informed.

Sydney C. | Feb 05, 2026

It was a pleasure to chat with Dr Woodworth. Nice, friendly chat and I could tell he was interested in me and what was important to me.

Mike M. | Jan 30, 2026

Quick and efficient.

Worderworth P. | Jan 30, 2026

Knowledgeable and on Toney.

Philip Wood W. | Jan 30, 2026

Dr. Philip Woodworth is very experienced MD. Keeping up with current advances

Len H. | Jan 29, 2026

I highly recommend IER Surgery. As a patient in 2025 for a hiatal hernia and GERD, I experienced consistent friendly politeness, notable efficiency, appropriate communications for Dr. Woodworth and his excellent staff. Dr. Woodworth’s diagnosed and explained the severity of my issues. The surgery was scheduled promptly and went well. Now, ten months post op, I am doing very well, I do not require medication (not always the end result). I had questions for Dr Woodworth and was scheduled for a short visit. That he does in person and telehealth visits as appropriate is helpful.

Rosalind L. | Jan 29, 2026

Dr. Woodworth is highly skilled in his area of specialty. He was not the only surgeon I consulted, but I chose him for my hiatal hernia repair and am very glad I did. Dr. Woodworth was thorough in diagnosing my problem as well as explaining the best procedure to fix it. The surgery was successful and definitely worth the trouble. Wish I could have done this sooner. As a former healthcare professional I would recommend him to anyone suffering from the effects of a hiatal hernia or serious GERD.

Betty G. | Jan 29, 2026

Gotta say, neither Dr. Woodworth or myself knew why my primary physician referred me to Dr. Woodworth, but, I’m glad I got to meet him. He is knowledgeable as well as personable and should I need an IER surgeon, or know of anyone needing anIER surgeon, he will be my go to. And a shout out to his front desk staff. Excellent.

Caron V. | Jan 26, 2026

Dr. Woodworth, M.D. Is The Best. Being in the Army means a lot to me. He was very professional and explained the surgery procedure clearly. He is focused and organized, which is so necessary for a surgeon. I feel very confident in his ability.

Gerald D. M. | Jan 24, 2026

Great consultation

Samuel F. | Jan 23, 2026

Muy professional el doctor y atento

Jesus O. | Jan 22, 2026

Dr Woodworth was a down to earth Dr. very easy to talk to. Made me fill reassured about the decision to have surgery and did not order a bunch of useless tests.

Pam S. | Jan 22, 2026

Very thorough, clear communication and willing to listen.

Bernard G. | Jan 22, 2026

Dr. Woodworth from beginning to end responded quickly to find and implement a solution to a hiatal hernia, with damage to the esophagus from reflux. Surgery was minimally invasive with the Da Vinci robot. Post surgery is progressing well!! I would highly recommended Dr. Woodworth to anyone considering esophageal and reflux issues. It's a six hour drive to his clinic from home, well worth the drive.

Sammy M. | Jan 19, 2026

Dr. Woodworth, Claire, Brittney, and Rachel are all awesome. I’ve had a very good surgical outcome following hiatal hernia repair and a partial fundoplication in July 2025. I had some lasting issues swallowing liquids, so Dr. Woodworth dilated the fundoplication yesterday to help with that and helped guide me that the risk of recurrent reflux was worth it when traded with the long term risk of not swallowing well. He is a compassionate and caring provider who both listens and tailors the care plan to your individual needs. The nursing team at IER has answered my many, many questions with lots of details and compassion. Additionally IER has dedicated increased support to their front office and their quality has improved immensely in the year I’ve worked with them for scheduling and questions.

Allie C. | Jan 16, 2026

DR Woodworth was confident, clear, and genuinely kind — the kind of person who instantly puts you at ease. Even recovery felt relaxed and well cared for. Honestly, if you have to get an endoscopy, this is the crew you want in your corner.

Cynthia R. | Jan 16, 2026

Dr. Woodworth is an amazing doctor. He bed side manner and car are amazing.definitely recommend him for anyone looking for professional , compassionate, and amazing. Are.

Lisa B. | Jan 07, 2026

The doc gave me all the necessary information to make me feel more than comfortable with procedure . He facilitated all the pro’s and cons to a procedure that had a couple options I’m more than happy with his performance and approach !

Andre H. | Dec 21, 2025

Excellent experience! 1st time the Dr was ready early! All the Drs and Nurses seemed to work in sync and everything’s where it was supposed to be! Very detailed oriented group IER Surgery! I look forward to working with them in the future!

Gary C. | Dec 19, 2025

Dr. Woodworth did a great job on my hernia surgery. His staff was very helpful and kind throughout the process. He made time to answer any questions. Would highly recommended.

Christopher M. | Dec 19, 2025

James W. | Dec 16, 2025

Dr. Woodworth was great to deal with, he did his homework on my health history and had an action plan to present to me when I went in for my appointment. He is very professional and made me feel comfortable when speaking to him.

Deana C. | Dec 11, 2025

Dr. Woodworth, in 3 encounters has been very thorough and attentive. He seems confident and competent, and i'm excited to experience results from a yet future surgery he will perform.

Betty G. | Dec 11, 2025

Initial consultation was very positive.I believe I have found an answer for my esophageal problem! 1st Class Professionals; look foreword to working with you all!

Gary C. | Dec 10, 2025

Dr Woodworth spoke to me like an equal and a human which is sometimes not the case with surgeons. He made me feel at ease and answered my many questions, even drew me pictures to make sure I understood my options. It was just a consult but I am looking forward to my procedure with him!

Jennifer B. | Dec 10, 2025

Dr Woodworth and his whole staff go above and beyond. I feel very comfortable with them. I trust them and feel I am getting the best treatment.

Jenny J. | Dec 10, 2025

Dr Woodworth and the whole team was wonderful. Above expectations. The surgical staff was kind and knowledgeable.

Jenny J. | Dec 04, 2025

Smooth as silk

. Roger ,. | Dec 04, 2025

At a time when most medical offices are shutting down for Christmas with no open appointments until January, I sent a note to Dr. Woodworth's office about a health change and a question. That same day (!) Dr. Woodworth personally called me and answered my question and more. In a world where getting an appointment with a doctor for simply a consultation is complex and takes time, i.e., appointment waiting time now averages 60 days, this was truly amazing and says so much about Dr. Woodworth's personal care for his patients, even when he surgical skills are in such high demand.

Monte S. | Dec 02, 2025

Very good experience. Answered all of the questions that I had about a simple repair versus a links and laid out the options. Also asked me what my biggest troubles and concerns were currently and what the difference is between the two repair options in addressing those concerns.

Nicholas H. | Nov 25, 2025

Dr. Woodworth was recommended to me by my primary care provider in COS because of my hiatal hernia, GERD symptoms and chronic cough. Another patient in the practice I go to had good results from the LINX procedure so I wanted to find out more about that. Dr. Woodworth explained both the LINX procedure and the partial fundiplication procedure at the initial appointment. He took the time to answer all of my questions. I never felt rushed. Because of his staff’s foresight I was able to get one of three tests done in the office that day. I went back to Sky Ridge campus for two other tests and then for a follow up appointment. In the follow-up appointment, I felt Dr. Woodworth listened to my concerns and my hopes for the surgery. We ultimately decided on hiatal hernia repair and the LINX procedure. I was given pre-op directions and specific 5-day pre-op diet instructions. I was also given post-op directions and diet so I would know what to expect and have food and equipment on hand for after the surgery. My surgery was on Tuesday so I am 3 days post-op. I have had minimal pain and I am already noticing an improvement in my gastric reflux symptoms and chronic cough. I found Dr. Woodworth to be thorough, knowledgeable and skilled. He made me feel confident in my decision on the type of surgery to have and in him as my surgeon.

Chris W. | Nov 21, 2025

Dr.Woodworth is very understanding and takes the time needed to explain the recommended procedure and why it is needed. Also wants to make sure you know why and why it’s important to understand post operative issues and to stay in touch with the office. Calming, knowledgeable and his experience means a lot

James W. | Nov 20, 2025

He's very smart but very personable.

Debbi K. | Nov 20, 2025

This was my first consult with Dr. Woodworth. He’s very thorough and explained the procedures well. He’s confident but not cocky. I like this trade in a surgeon.

Dan L. | Nov 20, 2025

My surgery experience with Dr. Woodworth was excellent. From the initial consult to the pre-surgery preparation and post surgery exit. All went well.

Santiago L. | Nov 19, 2025

Great doctor, explained everything in simple terms. Staff was very professional and courteous.

L Dean M. | Nov 18, 2025

A very nice telemedicine appointment, lots of good explanations to my concerns and where to go next.

Jan K. | Nov 18, 2025

Dr. Woodworth is a wonderful doctor! Very courteous and explains everything in detail. His knowledge on Hiatal hernia and the esophagus is beyond any other doctor that I have been to. My only complaint is not with him but how long a wait there is prior to surgery. We sat in the waiting area for an 1 1/2 before they came to get me to prep me for surgery. I think there is room for improvement in that area.

Cami W. | Nov 14, 2025

freindly, knowlegable, and efficent, doesen't get any better than this. Thanks!

Loren M. | Nov 14, 2025

Appreciate the docs explanation and review of options for surgery.

Rick G. | Nov 13, 2025

From start to finish this has been the best experience. Dr Woodworth was very friendly and thorough with his explanation of what was going on and how the procedure would go. I would like to thank everyone who went above and beyond for us from scheduling, to setting us at easy about what to expect, how to prepare, and how to have the best success with the outcome. Thank you all so very much.

Great doctor. Good bedside manner. Works hard to understand my issue.

Deborah K. | Nov 07, 2025

Dr Woodworth did an excellent job working with me. His staff were all very kind and professional as was Dr Woodworth. I am 86 years and was concerned about having surgery at me age. But Dr Woodworth’s confidence and encouragement made me feel relaxed on the day of surgery.

Betty D. | Nov 05, 2025

Dr Woodworth was fantastic! He took the time to explain everything to me, including procedures I had done a decade ago but are still effecting me today. He was kind and patient and listened to my concerns.

Nicholas T. | Nov 03, 2025

Dr Woodworth did a great job on my surgery, my experience with the procedure and the staff was all great. Healing and off meds in 4 days which may just be me but so happy to not look like I’m pregnant with a squirrel any longer.

Lisa S. | Nov 03, 2025

Friendly staff, Dr. Woodworth was awesome, very professional and friendly.

Dean M. | Oct 31, 2025

The staff was excellent and Dr Woodworth was personable and very effective diagraming areas of concern, explaining tests and possible findings. I could not have been more impressed! The staff is also doing everything they can to accommodate my schedule. Hoping for a cure!

Rick G. | Oct 23, 2025

Dr. Woodward is a very thorough Doctor Who explains things in a way that anyone can understand. He has a great memory of his patience because I saw him today and he remembered a few personal things about me that I shared with him over two years ago. The issue we discussed he seemed to genuinely be concerned with the issues that I was having and offered to speak to another doctor that I am working with. This is not often offered by doctors since they are very busy. I trust him completely. Two years ago, I had the links system installed for my hiatal hernia and although I believe it is a fairly new offering in the Medical world Dr. Woodward is very experienced and comfortable with this surgery. If you were looking for an an esophageal surgeon He is definitely the one!

Joan R. | Oct 22, 2025

Communicates very well. Great demeanor.

Deborah K. | Oct 17, 2025

The office worked with us to get an appointment quickly and made the new patient process very easy and streamlined. Dr Woodworth was very clear in his explanation of the surgery and through in his evaluation.

Betty D. | Oct 16, 2025

Dr Woodworth is a Godsend. I’ve struggled with my symptoms for over a year and FINALLY have a diagnosis and treatment plan! Appreciated that my records had been reviewed prior to my visit! The entire staff is wonderful and Dr Woodworth is very attentive.

Tawnya S. | Oct 16, 2025

First doctor to be curious and think outside the box regarding my atypical condition.

Pontus W. | Oct 14, 2025

Great service and friendly staff. Dr. Woodworth is very nice. He has done the same Linx laproscopic procedure on my wife, too, and 15 months later still loves the results.

Randy S. | Oct 14, 2025

Surgery went well. I think it would have been good to have been more informed about the diet restrictions after surgery.

John M. | Oct 12, 2025

Dr Woodworth is an excellent communicator and I love his sense of humor.He’s thorough with the testing to determine the best surgery even giving me a choice for which surgery. I deferred to him as the expert. I’m looking forward to getting my hiatal hernia fixed so I can feel normal again after Imeals and not need medication! Thanks to Dr Woodworth and his excellent staff.

Kim D. | Oct 10, 2025

Dr. Woodworth is so professional! He drilled down my problems so quickly. He clearly explained them and gave me the options. He also cared about my emotional feelings and gave me a big relief assisting me to come with a plan. I am so lucky to have him as my GI doctor.

Karen Q. | Oct 08, 2025

Everyone involved in my surgery was very professional and pleasant. Updates to my loved ones was good and comforting. Overall a positive experience as much as a surgery can be!

Brad B. | Oct 07, 2025

Dr. Woodworth’s staff were all professional and personable. Molly helped me through a difficult procedure with kind reassurances throughout the duration. I was surprised that Dr. Woodworth was so personable, too, given that my experience with surgeons has been cold and clinical at best. Dr. Woodworth, on the other hand, has a warm and engaging personality, and took the time to ask questions about my chronic condition, answer my questions, and even drew some pictures of the stomach area before and after surgery with self-deprecating humor. He has my full trust and confidence as a caring and competent surgeon.

Quinn S. | Oct 04, 2025

Excellent

Michael A. | Oct 02, 2025

John P. | Sep 24, 2025

Excellent virtual appointment with Dr. Woodworth. He listened carefully and responded fully to everything. He was not rushed, giving me more time than I expected.

Douglas V. | Sep 24, 2025

I have nothing but praise for Dr Woolworth and his team. It is early days yet following my surgery, but the hospital experience was fantastic. Dr Woodworth is very approachable and explained the procedure and post-op self care very clearly. Cheerful and very helpful nurses and assistants who put me at ease and helped me relax. And the follow up has also been good.

Martin R. | Sep 21, 2025

I was so nervous, but Dr. Woodworth was so easy to talk to. He made the entire experience comforting and reassuring, giving me confidence in him as my provider and in myself that I was making the right decision. Thank you for being so understanding.

Ginette I. | Sep 18, 2025

very good doctor for hernia on what is going on

Royce R. | Sep 18, 2025

Very prompt!!! I was expecting to wait a while, but not so. Dr. Woodworth was very pleasant and professional. I live out of town so I was glad he gave me the opportunity to teleconference instead of traveling 300 miles.

Kathy C. | Sep 03, 2025

The indepth discussion pertaining to my situation, hyathal-hernia, was extremely helpful in understanding the importance of getting the lypo-scopic surgery. I also appreciated Sheila's hospitality and kindness! My only concern, your office is 90 miles from my home.

Robert O. | Aug 28, 2025

Outstanding care!

Laureano I. | Aug 27, 2025

Jonathan Gallagher J. | Aug 14, 2025

Dr. Woodworth was very knowledgeable about a very specific issue I was having and took the time to make sure I understood all of his recommendations.

Melissa M. | Aug 13, 2025

Very thorough and fully thorough

Judy F. | Aug 08, 2025

The staff was great - the experience couldn’t have been better.

Carol S. | Aug 07, 2025

So far my experience with the doctor was excellent. When there was a question on a prescription, he called me directly to explain. His bedside manner is concerning and direct.

Lou M. | Aug 06, 2025

Best group of professionals in the medical industry. A+ in every way.

James E. | Aug 05, 2025

Good first experience. I had previously been a patient of Dr. Bell. They are both very caring. Thanks for Sheila’s help with appointment.

Patty W. | Aug 04, 2025

Took the time to explain what was happening and answered all my questions. Very patient and was thorough.

Keith U. | Aug 03, 2025

My initial consultation via telehealth with Dr. Woodworth went very well. He was professional, thorough and genuinely cared about me & my health situation. He answered all of my questions. Dr. Woodworth seems very down to earth (no sugar-coating) - he explained in much detail what will be taking place before, during and after my procedure.

Kim S. | Jul 31, 2025

I'm a 66 year old male who prior to my July 30, 2025 inguinal hernia surgery has NEVER had surgery since I was 7 or 8 years old (tonsils out) so to say I was nervous and little scared would be putting is mildly. However from the time I arrived at Smith Medical to have the surgery done was NOTHING but an awesome experience. Dr. Woodworth and the WHOLE staff at Smith Medical was nothing short of spectacular! Dr. Woodworth came out before the surgery to assure me and my sister (person responsible for me for 24 hours after surgery) that everything is on track and answered any questions and to put me at ease. After the surgery Dr. Woodworth took the time to inform my sister that everything had gone as planned (with a couple minor issues that had to be corrected while in surgery). At this point in time the pain is not nearly as bad as what I was expecting (sure the pain meds are helping with that). Now it's up to me to do the rights things to keep the surgery successful (i.e., stay on pain med routine for a few days, take it easy, no lifting, etc.). I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Woodworth and the WHOLE staff at Smith Medical. Everyone was very professional, calming, caring and very knowledgeable. Thank you to everyone for all that you've done!! Sorry for the length.

Rusty A. | Jul 31, 2025

Dr. Woodworth was wonderful!! He really listened to my concerns and gave me the opportunity to ask questions. What he said made so much sense to me, and I was very encouraged by the plan he has to help me.

Linda H. | Jul 31, 2025

Dr Woodworth was very personable and easy to talk to for this being my first visit. He was very knowledgeable about what my needs would be and helpful with my specific situation. I’m looking forward to working with him and his team.

Lisa S. | Jul 30, 2025

Dr. Woodworth and his staff are wonderful. Very caring and great care.

Joyce G. | Jul 30, 2025

I had the best experience ever there is no reason to look for any other surgeon

John L. | Jul 28, 2025

Dr. Woodworth is great. Very considerate and accommodating. I was expecting a considerable amount of pain and immobility after my procedure, since this has been my experience with two other abdominal procedures. However, I was up and about from day one (still proceeding with caution, of course). My only negative comments come from the Tebra, Kareo, SOFI Research, and Telehealth systems. I don’t generally click on cryptic links or accept calls from unknown sources (security clearance). So, communication with the medical team was extremely disjointed unless I contacted someone directly and they informed me that one of the aforementioned services was legitimate. Those correspondences need to be more clear, or come from a “known” health organization like a medical office or hospital. I’m basically a rocket scientist who designs spacecraft payloads for a living, but keeping track of which organization I needed to log into, register with, or download from as I was digging through countless junk mail and texts was apparently near my cognitive limit.

Kory D. | Jul 26, 2025

I had the best experience with Dr.Woodworth. If I need surgery again there’s no need to look anywhere else.

John L. | Jul 25, 2025

Staff, awesome, doctor, awesome. In and out, no drama. Why cant all healthcare be like this? Thanks doc, will recomend to all my friends.

Gary B. | Jul 24, 2025

Professional, listened to everything I wanted to describe so very pleased & has a great voice

Patricia J. | Jul 24, 2025

Excellent first meeting... very competent and knowledgeable.

THOMAS H. | Jul 17, 2025

Everyone was very helpful and courteous to me and my family. I really appreciate d the doctor coming to explain things before the surgery.

Paula R. | Jul 17, 2025

Dr. Woodworth was professional, knowledgeable, very amiable and approachable. My wife and I felt an immediate connection and left with a calm confidence that we were in good hands. Everyone on Dr. Woodworth’s staff that we have encountered has been outstanding. I have to single out Sheila, as she has gone above and beyond to accommodate our needs and concerns.

Kurt F. | Jul 12, 2025

Friendly staff, in and out, surgery scheduled quickly.

Gary B. | Jul 10, 2025

I met with Dr Woolworth to discuss surgery. He informed me of the surgery I needed and the importance of having the surgery. Surgery went well and I’m in the recovery process. I’m happy to have access to a great physician that can provide the care I need.

Maxine H. | Jul 09, 2025

LOVE Dr. W he is an amazing Doctor and great guy! He has done a ton for me and my heatlth!!

Mark R. | Jul 09, 2025

Dr. Woodworth is a great doctor and very competent. I had total confidence going into my surgery with him.

Deborah K. | Jul 08, 2025

One of the best experiences seeing a new doctor (and office staff) in a long while! Scheduling, getting paperwork completed, and questions answered with Sheila was very effecient! The front office was inviting and calming. No time to sit in waiting room as I was taken straight back to a room right after check-in. Dr. Woodworth was personable and warm. Very easy to talk with and took time to answer all questions and concerns. Once a plan was agreed on, i was able to get one of the tests started immediately after my appt. Molly was awesome and very empathetic as I struggled through the test. This was a '2nd opinion' for me regarding surgery and as a nurse (and a patient), I would definitely recommend Dr. Woodworth and IERS to all friends and family in need of these services

F C. | Jul 07, 2025

I highly recommend Dr. Woodward and his entire staff. They are knowledgeable, professional and caring. On a scale of 1 - 10 with 10 being the highest, I rate them an 11!

Jim R. | Jul 04, 2025

Receptionist, very polite and pleasant. My Visit with Dr. Woodworth Was excellent - He was compassionate, listen to what I had to say, and seemed truly concerned.

Carol S. | Jul 03, 2025

The whole picture worked out perfectly for me. I was a little late to my appointment and everyone seemed to not be concerned about that. Dr. Woodworth is a very knowledgeable doctor when it came to my hernia diagnosis. He took the time to explain what was happening and why and how he was going to repair it. He also explained it in terms I understood instead of talking doctoreez. I haven't had my surgery yet but am looking for to getting it taken care of.

Rusty A. | Jul 03, 2025

Very caring for my health and very nice personal,thank you very much

Karina A. | Jul 02, 2025

Originally I had severe pain in my groin area with more pain upon flexion if I stood for longer periods of time. CAT scan showed bilateral hernias and I figured unfortunately I needed surgery. Dr. Woodworth checked me out and said he'd love to fix the hernias however with his thorough exam he believed a surgery was not warranted and believed I had a groin sprain/strain. Thankfully we didn't do any surgery and after taking it easy as directed I believe I am at 100%! If I hurt myself in the future and a hernia surgery IS necessary I guarantee I'll be visiting with Dr. Woodworth and Team!! Thanks Doc, Dr. Aaron Miller DC

Aaron M. | Jun 30, 2025

It was very convenient to speak with Dr. Woodworth via computer for my husbands consultation. Being 3 hours away from Lone Tree and saving us a long drive up and down to Pueblo, CO. again. Dr. Woodworth was informative and direct on the procedure for my husband Reflux disease. We appreciate his listening to our concerns and questions in regards to the upcoming surgery.

Connie Q. | Jun 28, 2025

Absolutely wonderful experience. Dr. Woodworth was top-notch. Excellent bedside manner, answered all my questions, very friendly and kind. Would 100% recommend him to anyone in need of a hernia repair. Excellent staff and facility.

MAREN M. | Jun 26, 2025

I found the experience very efficient and all the personnel very helpful and caring. Dr. Woodworth and his staff plus the staff at Skyridge Hospital answered all my questions and explained everything to me. Many staff members have contacted me after surgery to follow up with me. The surgery went well, and my post op has been going as expected and explained to me. I would recommend anyone with reflux issues contact Dr. Woodworth and his staff.

Donald O. | Jun 25, 2025

As usual, I was taken very good care of by Dr. Woodworth and his group. Everything was on time and I was made very comfortable.

Bruce S. | Jun 19, 2025

Dr Woodworth answered all of my post-op questions. He was very pleased with my progress so far but stressed I need to be careful as I begin adding more foods.

Joanne C. | Jun 18, 2025

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Woodworth. From the moment I met him, he made me feel at ease during what was a very scary and overwhelming time. He’s not only an incredibly skilled surgeon, but also one of the most personable and compassionate doctors I’ve ever encountered. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions with patience, and truly made me feel like I was in the best hands possible. His calm and confident demeanor helped ease my anxiety, and I felt genuinely cared for every step of the way. The surgery went smoothly, and my recovery has been better than I expected—clear evidence of his expertise. I’m beyond grateful for his care and highly recommend Dr. Woodworth to anyone in need of a skilled and kind surgeon.

Natalie W. | Jun 17, 2025

He has excellent communication skills and did a great job of explaining the cause and process to correct. Can’t wait to move forward with surgery and be in a better place with my health.

Joanne G. | Jun 12, 2025

My first experience with Dr. Woodworth was a pleasant one. He told me upfront what he believed needed to be done. I've put my trust in Dr. Woodworth knowing that he has my best interest at heart.

DeAnna B. | Jun 05, 2025

Dr. Woodworth listened to all my questions and 'theories' as I tried to understand my symptoms and he took the time to seriously consider them and respond. He is a wonderful person and I trust him with my upcoming surgery.

Monte S. | Jun 04, 2025

Had partial fundoplication and repair of HUGE hernia. Dr Woodworth, Claire and all of the staff of Sky Ridge Medical Center were great! All are HIGHLY recomended!

Joanne C. | Jun 03, 2025

Have both Gerd and and 3 centimetre Hiatal Hernia. Recently had different tests done to evaluate a logical course of action. Plan on having hernia repair done, but do not have a gallbladder so a little concerned about Linx and Fundoplication and potential issues long term. Have another call with Dr. Woodford this week to discuss questions I have. In terms of scheduling, professionalism, testing, hospital care all have been exceptional.

Cary S. | Jun 02, 2025

Every thing was good!

Linda W. | May 29, 2025

I was very pleased with the video appointment . It covered all my questions & concerns & saved me a day long drive to Denver. However, I was disappointed to learn that I could not get a surgery date until July. That means that I will have to wait until October for surgery. I am hoping that causes no problems . Linda

Linda L. | May 29, 2025

Logging in to the telehealth meeting was easier than I thought it would be. Dr. Woodworth was very helpful and answered all of my questions. I look forward to meeting him in person.

Paula R. | May 29, 2025

Toni K. | May 29, 2025

I met Dr Woodworth face to face on a telehealth call. He was easy to talk to and shared some great knowledge with me about my existing medical problem. He gave us both a course of action to correct my problem. I enjoyed speaking with him and am excited to meet him and have him fix my medial issue. Dr. Woodwork was very down to earth and we had an enjoyable conversation

Todd C. | May 29, 2025

Dr. Woodworth and the staff made me very uncomfortable. My appointment was right on time with no waiting. Dr. Woodworth was very patient when answering all of my questions. He explained everything about my care on a level that I could understand. There is no question that I am putting my health in the best hands with Dr. Woodworth and his staff.

Bruce S. | May 29, 2025

I found Dr Woodworth very easy to talk with. He had read my extensive chart, and being very familiar with my medical history, my questions were readily answered in a clear and concise manner.

Kathleen J R. | May 22, 2025

There aren't enough stars to leave the appropriate rating for Dr. Woodworth and his entire staff! The ease of scheduling the appointment, the arrival and check in, the time spent with the nurse, Dr. Woodworth and the full use of our visit was absolutely IMMACULATE! Each and every person in this office was kind, efficient and so helpful. Scheduled me for all of the testing I'd need so I didn't have to come back up from Pueblo. Had a full appointment with all of the necessary questions that Dr. asked and was so thorough. He actually listened and had valuable input. Scheduled for my surgery in July(earliest my schedule would allow) and I'm so optimistic for what Dr. Woodworth will be taking care of for me and treating my issues. I'll leave feedback once surgery is complete as well so there's a follow up coming soon. Do not hesitate to call and get your appointment scheduled with Dr. Woodworth. You will be utterly impressed with his knowledge, his expertise and bedside manner. Very professional but down to earth. He came highly recommended to me and I'll be referring him to everyone as well. My only regret is waiting 15 plus years to get a second opinion and having this done sooner.

Toby V. | May 21, 2025

Incredible, joyful and hassle free procedure. Dr Woodowrtth and his team made me feel comfortable the entire time. Easy in, easy out. In and Out—like the burger.

Robert L. | May 21, 2025

He took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. Most importantly, he made me feel completely at ease throughout the entire appointment. It can be nerve-wracking discussing surgery, but his calm and professional demeanor gave me real peace of mind. I genuinely feel like I’m in good hands moving forward. Highly recommend!

Natalie W. | May 21, 2025

Excellent, informative

Emmett A. | May 15, 2025

Their ability to explain complex medical issues in a way that is clear and reassuring made all the difference. Whether discussing treatment options or answering concerns with patience and kindness, Dr. Woodworth truly prioritizes patient care.

Cynthia R. | May 15, 2025

Very informative. Answered all my questions before I asked them o

David W. | May 14, 2025

It speaks volumes when you travel 2 days just to be seen by a Dr. When you are talking with people in the hospital and hear that many people travel days to see the Dr. There is a reason that people travel from around the world to see Dr. Woodworth. He is not only that good, but a very caring individual. My first interaction with him was back in 2012. When it was recommended that I have a specific surgery, I tracked Dr. Woodworth down to have him address the issues. He did exactly what I expected and treated me with respect. I have recommended Dr. Woodworth to others specifically family members. He is impressive.

Mary V. | May 14, 2025

All personnel are great! Respectful, kind and considerate. Felt like e were some minor discrepancies in info given about diet choices.

DUSTIN B. | Apr 22, 2025

Dr. Woodworth is the best. I was very nervous about surgery and he took the time to answer all my questions and help me understand the procedure and how it could help.

LISA H. | Mar 07, 2025

The whole experience from start to finish was first class.

JAMES S. | Mar 02, 2025

Dr. Woodworth was the surgeon who corrected my hiatal hernia problem excellently. I had a TeleHealth pre-op meeting with him one month before my surgery and he patiently and professionally answered all my concerns. He gave me all the details about my surgery that I needed to know and kept asking me if I needed more information. He came to my bedside before the surgery and assured me again that he (and his team) was going to take good care of me. I felt totally reassured with him and that I was in good hands.

DONNA B. | Feb 06, 2025

Very professional and explained everything

SUSAN K. | Feb 06, 2025

JERRA D. | Jan 05, 2025

Dr Woodworth and is staff are amazing! Very upfront with what to expect. Extremely easy to speak with and understand what he feels you need to be healed. Very responsive staff. Wish I would have found Dr. Woodworth three operations ago, maybe I would have only needed one! Everyone is different and Dr Woodworth will not make any promises, that alone lets you know you are dealing with a person of integrity and no ego. Thanks Dr. Woodworth, hopefully I am getting my life back!!

WAYNE L. | Dec 19, 2024

He was very attentive and kind before and after surgery

CHRISSY R. | Nov 14, 2024

I have had a chronic cough and issues with acid reflux for almost 15 years. I was passed from specialists to specialists for 15 years with no real look at what was actually causing all of this. I was with a friend and having a huge coughing outburst, he then told me about having the same issue and how many specialists they saw to figure out the real issue. He referred Dr Woodworth and I set and appointment. After going thru 6 different tests, Dr Woodworth showed me what was going on. I decided on the Linx surgery and 1 day after surgery, I'm pleased with the immediate results of getting this done. Thank you Dr Woodwarth, wish I found you 15 years ago when this started

DARROW R. | Nov 06, 2024

I had some pretty severe acid reflux symptoms and needed hiatal hernia surgery. I must admit that I was skeptical and concerned about the surgery. It has been about a year and a half since my surgery and I feel much better. Dr. Bell and crew did an excellent job. I thank them sincerely.

Gordon T. | Nov 03, 2024

I feel amazing for the most part……… still a bit groggy to be expected. However, I’m not suffering like I was……. This procedure so far has been a blessing…….. I’m very pleased and extremely thankful up to this point. Thank you to Dr. Woodworth and his team!! They’re professional and brilliant!!

CHRISTINE G. | Sep 26, 2024

Dr. Woodworth has wonderful bedside manner, answering all questions patiently and intellectually so that a lay person could understand the procedure. His staff is experienced, ready to assist in any way, and answer questions both pre- and post-operatively. Thank you for such a wonderful experience and outcome!

PATRICK B. | Aug 27, 2024

Dr Woodworth explained my procedure in depth. During surgery he found additional issues related to my condition. He repaired everything and explained I could be in pain for several weeks. A day and half later I no longer have pain and require no pain meds. I'm extremely happy with the procedure he performed and would highly recommend him.

JAMES G. | Aug 01, 2024

Excellent Surgeon !!! Very knowledgably and explained in terms I could understand this issue and recommended resolution. His staff are every bit caring as well, they were readily available leading up to the surgery and pleasant to talk to. The surgery went as planned.

SHELLY B. | Jul 23, 2024

All went well. Very efficient , pleasant staff. Surgery (robotic assisted hiatal hernia repair and fundoplication) with very minimal discomfort… now a week out and feeling pretty normal and back to work. Shocking considering the amount of surgery performed. If you need surgery, I highly recommend Dr Woodworth, his staff, and hospital.

MICHAEL M. | Jul 23, 2024

Dr. Woodworth came to see me immediately before my surgery. He was clear and concise in his explanation of what the surgery will entail. He also answered all my questions. After surgery, he called my best friend who picked me up. In the few minutes that she talked to him, she was very impressed with him. She described him as a kind and compassionate doctor.

CAROLINE B. | Jul 11, 2024

Great job!

MARSHALL S. | Jul 02, 2024

I was able to get to know Dr. Woodworth as I navigated through the reflux surgery options. He was very thorough and allowed me to make my own decisions without any pressure. The explained everything in terms my husband and i could understand. I have been struggling with reflux for more than 20 years and I would recommend Dr. Woodworth to any one struggling with these issues. It has been one of the best decision I've ever made.

RACHEL V. | Jun 30, 2024

very professional, very caring

DONNA G. | Jun 28, 2024

Dr Woodworth is professional, thorough, thoughtful and caring. I’m so glad I found him to care for me. Only two days post Fundoplication but I’m feeling pretty good for an old guy. The entire staff at Sky Ridge and Dr Woodworth’s staff were awesome, so comforting, kind and caring! Care like this really helps put the patient in a positive mental state during a potentially stressful time and likely contributes to successful outcomes! Thank you all so very much!

MINNIE P. | May 19, 2024

Everyone at the Surgery Center was just awesome! Tracy (RN) took such great care of us getting me started with prep. Alex (RN) was super also during prep and in surgery. Chamille was so kind and caring during recovery. Other nurses assisted in teaching me how to use the Bravo device. And Dr. Bell was again a stellar surgeon and explained the results to my wife so completely. No complaints. Loved the team including others not mentioned. THANK YOU ALL

MICHAEL M. | Sep 23, 2023

My experience with Dr Reginald Bell, Kate Freeman & staff was totally outstanding, in every way! My experience with the hospital was marginal: eg, not responding to my call for assistance, staff giving wrong information, "Patient Discharge General Information" wasn't even legible -- these are just a few examples! I find these kinds of things to be very important to me/my care -- & what is very reasonable to expect from such a big, well-known hospital! However, certain individuals were fenominal. Thank you. - Elaine F. Fowler

ELAINE F. | Sep 07, 2023

I couldn't be more pleased with the caring , professional experience with Dr Bell, Kate Freeman & staff. (The difference of night & day compared to so many health other care facilities available...!

Dr Bell performed surgery on my hiatal hernia and performed a fundoplication on my esophagus on May 16 2023. I believe the Dr and his crew put the patients well being to heart.

Ronald P. | Jan 04, 2023

One day out from surgery…some expected post-op soreness and uncomfortableness but well-tolerated. Just have to follow meal requirements to the letter and expect 100% recovery and results. Dr. Bell, Kate-his NP, Tiffanie, and all the staff are A-1 And the best thing?…. NO MORE BAD REFLUX AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!!! Thank you for your EXPERT help!! Mark Reinhart, PA-C ( retired ).

Mark R. | Jan 04, 2023

The team was professional while also being friendly and courteous

Darlene M. | Dec 30, 2022

I had a full Nissen Fundoplication in 2005 and it had loosened over the years. I contacted 2 medical facilities in 2019 to have it redone because of my acid reflex issues. I was told that it was complicated because of a hiatal hernia and might be dangerous due to my age and respiratory underlying conditions. I was recently prescribed a more potent reflex medication. I was referred to Dr. Woodworth by the National Jewish Health in Denver. I was able to schedule an appointment fairly quickly. Dr. Woodworth performed a robotic labroascopic redo surgery for me. The hernia was removed and a partial fundoplication was done. I was very happy as this is what I wanted done in 2019. Three weeks out and I am healing well from the surgery with no more reflux. I would definitely recommend Dr. Woodworth to anyone who is seeking a nissan redo surgery.

Diane R. | Dec 22, 2022

TRACEY M. | Nov 06, 2022

Everything from the initial pre-op appointment to the post surgery departure was excellent. Dr. Woodworth and his staff are personable, caring and knowledgeable and made my linx surgical procedure smooth from beginning to end. Although swallowing is still somewhat not normal, I understand that it’s only been four days post surgery and that things need to heal and scar before things back to normal. It does get better day by day and look forward to being ant-acid medication free and no longer have chronic heartburn.

DAVID B. | Nov 04, 2022

Dr. Woodworth is great!

I was so terrified this time around and I don't know why, as I am usually okay to go through any surgery. The staff was AMAZING at calming me down and making me feel that everything was going to be okay, and that I was in great hands with the best doctor and team. I had a wonderful experience despite having to go through this surgery.

Evanie A. | Oct 19, 2022

Dr. Bell and his team are kind, caring, and extremely thorough in their diagnosis and in the formulation of the optimal treatment plan that is best for each individual patient. He is a masterful surgeon, and takes the routine-of course, but also the most complicated and challenging cases and people far and wide seek him out for his care. All the while, through his thoughtfulness and empathy, you can be assured that you are in the best possible hands.

Charles G. | Oct 19, 2022

WILLIAM W. | Sep 07, 2022

I researched my surgery and Dr Woolword kept e well informed on what to expect. My surgery went as expected because I trusted the doctors and the staff reassured me. I am excited about not having to deal with acid reflux any longer. Thank you

MARK H. | Aug 09, 2022

Everyone was very care giving before and after surgery. But, no one called to check on me the day after, and it was extremely hard to receive any response for my emails and phone calls!

Lucy A. | Aug 05, 2022

My experience was wonderful with Dr. Bell and his staff. I was admitted to Sky Ridge on an emergency GI bleed that was being caused by my Hiatal Hernia. The general surgeon on call at the hospital wanted to do surgery very quickly. I did not get a good feel from her, so I canceled my surgery, and got released from the hospital on a Saturday. I did my research over the weekend and saw that Dr. Bell was highly recommended and qualified to do the surgery. So I called the office on Monday morning, explained my situation and amazingly, they got me in that afternoon to see me. Both Dr. Bell and Kat his NP, were so comforting and informative. Dr. Bell arranged me to have surgery the next day…Tuesday. He stayed late on his surgery day to fit me in. That is what an outstanding doctor and human being he is. My surgery went extremely well. And I know I made the right decision by having him do the surgery. My best advice to anyone that needs a Hiatal Hernia surgery, please go to a foregut specialist, and try to go to Dr. Bell. He is truly amazing, you won’t regret it. Do not have a general surgeon do the surgery.

Cynthia L. | Aug 03, 2022

Informative and let me know what to expect. All staff that worked with me knew exactly what needed to be done . Thank you

Steven C. | Jul 06, 2022

Got in early and procedure went well. Post-op descriptions seem on point so far.

John Q. | Jun 21, 2022
