Dr. Sally Jo Bodensteiner, MD

Great physician. Knows my history well. Keeps up to date. She's a straight shooter and will refer you to a specialist if needed. Great person to have in my medical team.

Doesn’t know her patients

I have been with Dr. Bodensteiner for three years now. I came out of a bad bad background and needed to keep myself on a drug treatment program to succeed. I knew I only needed a small small amount to survive and still be able to eat, sleep, and please my wife while I work on my education. She started me off at a high milligram and weened me way down to a small amount. When I requested to stay on this small amount she said no I cannot and that I must try an implant if I wish to remain on this medication. So I did. Her rules afterwards we're that I must go down from the large amount in the implant to the same small amount I had gotten to before. I tell her that the implant makes me restless at night and makes it harder to eat because the drug is always active. Now I have asked to return to the same regimen she has had me on and her reply is "I don't want to go up and down on your dose". Are you absolutely kidding me? I wanted two milligrams and she has been taking me up and down like a… ski lift. It is ridiculously sad to think that a doctor simply wants her way instead of to actually treat a patient. I am disgusted

Dr. Sally is one of the best doctors that I’ve known. Dr. Sally has been a “God Send” for me.

The Dr. failed to diagnose a major medical issue. I ended up needing two surgeries. Exam rooms frequently are not clean. Dr has kept patients waiting in exam rooms for over an hour with no check in or courteous "we will be right with you..sorry for the wait..or anything". Dr's office lost my lab specimen. I was told, "what do you expect on your insurance". Very unprofessional and discourteous staff. Would not send anyone.

After having blood work done, I was never sent the results. After three months, I called the clinic again and discovered that not only did my thyroid medication needed to be adjusted, but that I had high cholesterol as well. I received no feedback on how to control the cholesterol, so I researched online to find treatments and a diet plan. I was stunned that Dr. Bodensteiner did not contact me concerning the cholesterol, as it was at a dangerously high level. The staff members are polite, but I could tell that Dr. Bodensteiner is an axe-wielding control freak who makes her employees miserable.

Dr. Bodensteiner could not have been nicer. She was prompt in coming into the exam room. She spent time with me going over all my medical history and my family's. We talked about the meds I was taking, and she cut one of the RX's out. I liked that. We discussed aches and pains, surgeries I had in the past. This was my first visit to her, and I found her very pleasant, interested in what I had to say, and clearly explained anything that I questioned or any actions she took. For me, she is a keeper!
