Woodard Eric J MD

All my spine surgery is done by Dr Woodard. I just broke a rod in my neck and he is going to fix that. I would never see anyone else. He is very caring and a brilliant surgeon.

I have been a longtime patient of Dr. Woodard and would never let another surgeon perform surgery on me because he is a genius and all my surgeries were successful. As far as the Office Staff is concerned, I don't know what all the negative comments are about. In the over 10 years I have dealt with his staff, I have always been treated with respect, a very caring attitude and a genuine concern for my problem. Sometimes the wait is long, and I have been waiting for my appointment when the Doctor is called into surgery that is being performed by another doctor in the hospital and they need his expertise. This only proves how knowledgeable and respected by his peers he is. I know the wait will be worth it and when it's my turn the results will be worth it. After one of my back surgeries I was having a PT appointment in Auburn, MA and the PT noted the she had myself and another patient as patients of Dr. Woodard. She remarked how well the both of us were doing and how quickly we were recovering compared to her other patients. His PA, Cody is very caring and really listens to what your symptoms are and gives his input in language you can understand. While in the hospital for 3 of my surgeries, the nurses on the floor really knew what they're doing and the care was excellent. After one of my surgeries, my husband and daughters were approached by Dr. Woodard in the lobby so that he could tell them how my surgery went. They told me afterwards that they thought the surgery didn't go well by the "drawn", tired look on his face as he approached them. This surgery is intense and it takes a lot out of him, he holds your life and your future in his hands, very gifted hands. Dr. Woodard and his staff are well worth the drive to Boston. I wouldn't let anyone else "touch" me or any of my loved ones. I referred my sister who is a disabled nurse to him because she was having problems with her cervical spine. Her insurance kept denying her surgery and said the MRI wasn't that bad. The Doctor fought for the surgery and when he was finally able to do perform it, he said the MRI hadn't shown how serious the damage was. If she had fallen or been "rear ended" she could have been paralyzed!

Dr. Woodard is one of the rare physicians in this world who takes on very difficult cases and succeeds. He did a relatively low level surgery in 2006, then in 2022-2023 did three complex surgeries. I have far less pain and am on the mend. I am deeply grateful.

Just the worst. Condescending attitude, miscommunication, no communication, no follow up, horrible hospital staff. Far worse off today than I was before surgery. Its been almost 2 years since my surgery and the ordeal still haunts me.
