From the moment I met Dr. Woodhead I could tell that he was a doctor who wasn't just there to fix a physical ailment but a doctor who would listen to the patient and try to get every clue he could get so that he could go into surgery having every advantage and the greatest percentage of success. I just had an extensive shoulder surgery 2 weeks ago and I feel absolutely amazing already. I'm going to be glad to have my shoulder back some day soon. Thanks Dr. Woodhead for the top notch care. It's a rare find anymore. (Edit1} 4 months post surgery and I wish I could give my first 6 start rating. Not only did Dr Woodhead make sure he set me up with a physical therapist who is familiar with the new procedure but was experienced enough to have me do the proper therapies at the right time and slowly rehab, he would routinely check in with my physical therapist in between office visits see how things were progressing. Consider me one satisfied patient!rater8 Verified Patient

I can not speak highly enough of Dr Woodhead. He is knowledgeable, explains everything in detail, is relatable, thorough and best of all, he is a brilliant surgeon. I had a torn labrum in my right shoulder where my bicep attaches. He reattached the bicep in a different location and cleaned the shoulder of cartilage fragments. I was completely healed in about 8-10 weeks and back to work as a dog groomer in three months. That was two years ago and my bicep is still completely pain free. If you are having any issues with your shoulder, he is definitely the specialist to see.rater8 Verified Patient

Put off shoulder surgery for well over a year down in Georgia and a year here as well until I met Dr. Woodhead! Take it from someone who knows (50+ prior surgeries) this is the most gifted Surgeon I’ve ever been under the knife with! Never have I had a faster recovery, I’m vain (no sense in lying ‘bout it) and I did not want any more scars! Well this man not only repaired my shoulder but left the tiniest scar ever! And on top of it all he has a wonderful personality! He told me he wasn’t sure what all needed to be fixed exactly but “he will figure it out once he’s in there and repair it.” Well that is exactly what he did! He says he only does shoulders but y’all I promise you will not regret letting him fix you! Another Surgeon did my left and Woodhead did my right and I truly wish I’d have known about him sooner because it was the same surgeries but 2 totally different experiences! THANK YOU Dr. Woodhead! You are truly talented!rater8 Verified Patient

Even though Dr. Ben was not feeling well himself, he took time with me to evaluate and follow up with my bad shoulder situation and arranged for further evaluation we both know is necessary. And he took time to visit about our favorite subjects which makes him the favorite doctor that he is. He is truly just an amazing person, and I sure hope he is feeling better and completely well at least by Monday. Chuck Sholtes really knew what he was doing when he s we nt me to Ben Woodhead following th death of Dennis Bozarth whom I had known since he was 3 years old!!Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Woodhead is an energetic, positive, and smart professional. He offers explanations and detailed descriptions. My total shoulder replacement is totally successful. Other doctors and physical therapists also hold him in high esteem, and speak of his commitment to learning the latest medical information or techniques.rater8 Verified Patient

I can't say enough good about Dr. Woodhead. In this appointment, he helped me understand what was done during the shoulder surgery, carefully examined the incisions and the mobility of my arm/shoulder. He asked very clear questions about how PT was going - but kept all of it efficient and clear and not time-consuming. Give me just enough about the big picture for me to feel comfortable with what is coming up in the next couple of months. Obviously a true professional and master of his craft.Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Woodhead is a great orthopedic shoulder doc! I've had issues with my shoulder for years after a skiing accident. He was able to diagnose my shoulder before he even got the MRI, but the MRI confirmed the tear. He answered all my questions and I feel really comfortable about going in to surgery with him! Thanks Doc!Read more
