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.

Not a good listener
Conversation is tricky. Dr. Woods seems to first interpret your question and then answer to that interpretation, not your question. We were talking past one another. I got out of there today just avoiding an open disagreement.

New hope for pain relief
Had great conversation, sounded sincere, spent time with me to get as much done in one visit as possible. I felt confident that he was going to do all he could to help me. Very informative as well as explaining things so you understand. Left feeling hopeful.

Thorough Exam
I had a great experience with Dr.Woods. I had some minor issues with my hips that I was worried could become a more serious condition. He gave me a thorough exam, was attentive to all my symptoms and questions, and came up with a plan that should help me to remain active in my 70s.

I found Dr. Woods to be courteous, considerate, and clearly concerned about both my situation and his ability to give me help. He took great pains to make sure that all of my questions were answered, and that I fully understood all aspects of my condition and his proposed treatment. He conducted himself at the level of professionalism that was common 30-40 years ago, but is very, very rare today. Highly recommended!!

I am very impressed. I was a bit foggy answering his questions due to my severe pain and fatigue but he rephrased them to help me answer them. He gave me steroid shots and I was walking a bit better by the time I left. The pain continued to subside. The next morning I was able to walk my service dog with very little discomfort. Highly recommend!

Consult regarding herniated disc to determine current condition and possible path forward for best result…doctor was very easy to talk with, explained what was happening with my condition, explained all my options in detail and what the outcome could be for each one, answered all my questions, he thought ahead and made some preemptive plans regarding my well-being. I felt very at ease with Dr Woods, I definitely recommend him.

He has it wrong I don't want to get high I want to live with less pain. The more I move the worse it is and I asked for help. I have worked hard to be where I am and he has knocked me back 10 steps. Tylinol is not going to cut it for me and right now I am at a loss to correct it. I try hard to be christian and dealing with him put me through the ringer. Didn't listen to me and didn't explain enough to help. Rick G , centerburg 04/04/2019
