Several years ago he left surgical cement behind my knee and this caused extreme agony. He says second surgery and removed pieces in the front of the knee but missed a ball of cement behind my knee requiring a third surgery by a different doctor.

The doctor and his team are not very responsive to patient concerns. My personal impression that they don't take things seriously. No concern that any delay of their actions might cause patient life.

When my husband was referred to him by the MRI Radiologists of a possible sarcoma lump. He told my husband to just wait and watch, this is completely ignorant and irresponsible behavior as a doctor who is supposed to be an expert in this area. He also told us he can't do a fine or core needle biopsy. He told my husband to either wait and watch or take it out. My husband choose to take it out. It was not benign as he told us. The worst was he didn't tell us the result because he was on vacation and his office is pretty much a one man shop. He has no sympathy, no skills or knowledge. He put my husband's health in jeopardy. Because his incomplete removal of the tumor, other doctor we chose later on had a much more difficult job for a second surgery to clean up the tumor bed from his surgery. Go elsewhere for your issue whatever it is.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Wodajo. In addition to being a highly skilled orthopedic surgeon he is kind, accessible, and direct. He looks you in the eye and tells it like it is and I so appreciate that. My husband is extremely fortunate to be under Dr. Wodajo’s care.

He is a very wonderful Orthopedics Surgeon, I ever met. I met him as I was attending Orthopedics Pathology review. Am not sure if that review session is still available, I hope he can resuscitate it and make it and give it life for it so as many Medical students and Orthopedics Residents get an advantage of it. Thanks.

You will not find a finer physician than Dr. Wodajo. He treated me when I had bone cancer, followed by a bone infection. He is caring and takes the time to explain your condition. He I'd excellent in his field. I can highly recommend him!
