Thank you!
[redacted]. Dr. Stenquist has been so great these past two years. I rave about him constantly.
I really liked the provider- though I was referred to the wrong clinic- needed to be at sports medicine [redacted]
Yes, I think Dr. Stenquist is outstanding. He did a fantastic job on my, putting me back together. I would highly recommend him. He's awesome.
Dr Stenquist and his staff were very knowledgeable, explained my issues, outlined treatment choices, and particularly receptive of my complaints and my opinions regarding my treatment options.
Dr. Stenquist is someone I would recommend to anyone requiring hand surgery. He is simply the best, both in manner and ability.
Dr. Stenquist is an absolute All Star as a surgeon and incredibly kind and caring. Can't thank him enough for the job he has done caring for me!
Dr. Stenquist is incredibly capable. He did an amazing surgical repair to my femur and I couldn't be more pleased. I am forever grateful he gave me my life back. Thank you, Dr. Stenquist.
The care provider was excellent, but I had to wait over an hour for an x-ray, which was really much too long in an overcrowded waiting room.
He is very professional and helped me a lot by openly explaining the problem I presented to him.
