Patient Reviews
I was very satisfied with the staff interaction before and after my hip surgery. I feel that Dr. Boardman answered all my questions and explained the surgery and aftercare very well. The surgery has allowed me to get back to my regular activity and work.
Dr Board very professional and knowledgeable about his profession
After hip surgery and evaluating my hands I donβt see how you could have a better doctor. I was completely satisfied
Was able to get in to see the Dr quickly and it was a Great experience. Would recommend him
Dr. Boardman is kind and explains things clearly. I've seen him for years and I highly recommend him. My knees have been a problem for quite some time. His injections don't hurt because he explains everything as he gives the injections and he has kept me off the surgery table. That I like!! Thanks Doc!!
Dr Boardman is improving my quality of life. He cares about his patients. Everything about him & his team is on point!
I fell and broke my wrist on a Friday and went to the ER. I saw Dr. Boardman the following Monday afternoon and he did surgery later in the day on Monday. He was very kind and reassuring. Dr. Boardman explained everything he needed to do during surgery that included plates and skrews. He kept me in the hospital overnight for IV anti- biotics and made sure I had adequate pain control. I woke up in serious pain post op and remember him standing by me and I was crying the pain was so bad. I was able to get pain meds when I needed them. He is simply the best and I highly recommend him.
Friendly and took time to explain the situation to me.
Very personable. Takes his time to actually talk you you, and listen. Very rare to find docs like this anymore.
Very personal, knowledgeable, and willing to work with you.
Very satisfied with the time I spent at ORA Dr.Boardman is very professional He listens and together we come to a plan. I am happy he is my doctor . A
Very personable and listened to all my concerns.
I had a right knee replacement with Dr. Boardman one year ago. My knee is doing absolutely awesome. I haven't had any problems. I walk on the treadmill and ride a stationary bike 5 days a week. I walk up and down stairs many times a day, all with no issues. Dr. Boardman has been a fantastic doctor from start to finish. He loves his job! I highly recommend him! Sheri Nylin
Doctor Boardman done my left knee 7 years ago. Ill be having him do my right knee soon.Great Doctor.
Dr Boardman is professional, courteous and listens to your concerns. Would highly recommend him β₯οΈ
Dr Boardman is such a nice man and was wonderful for my hip replacement. His office in Muscatine is very efficient and staff was very friendly! So glad he did my surgery and glad I had it done at Muscatine hospital! One of the best things I ever did!
How anyone could not give this man a five star rating is beyond me. His knowledge professionalism demeanor plus his patience are incredible. ORA should be very proud what Dr. Boardman brings to this practice.
Have to say I was very upset being sent home with no pain management. From all my other surgeries it is what I expected to stay ahead of the pain. But whatever doc did he made it so there was NO pain. Sore yes,,,obviously but no pain. Yes I have been getting some bad cramps in the surgery area and hopefully we can get these under control. But I am 9 days out walking with a cane only and happy to get my life back. Thanks Doc,,I was so very wrong, I did not suffer and each day is better then the last.
Dr. Boardman was easy to talk to and did a great job of explaining what was causing my pain. He provided me with options and solutions to repairing my issue. No pressure. I would highly recommend him.
We discussed my need an I decided to do knee replacement.

Exceptional, above and beyond, very caring demeanor, gave a thorough explanation of the diagnosis and plan for treatment.
He cares about his patience
Great Doctor. Dr. Boardman repaired my rotator cuff and now going to repair my knee. I'm not worried at all.
He cares about his patience
Dr. Boardman was very nice and professional. He checked my leg movements and we talked about my general health.
Dr. Boardman performed a fantastic carpal tunnel surgery that truly helped. Beyond his acumen as a surgeon, his bedside manner is fantastic. He is calm, cool, collected, and active as a listener. He gets my highest praise.
Kind, professional, on time,
Great doctor! Showed me my MRI views and X-Rays. He talked me through everything. Very patient, caring, discussed all scenarios. I would recommend him to everyone!
I had a consultation with Dr Boardman Monday the 29. The xray tech ( I didn't catch his name but he was very courteous and knowledgeable) took pictures my hip. A few minutes later I had a consultation with Dr Boardman. He showed what was wrong with my hip using the trays. He told what my options were. The Dr was very informative about the treatment and was very approachable. I'm grateful for his knowledge and advice. A very confidence inspiring visit.
Dr. Boardman was very conservative in his approach to my knee problem. Advised postponing any surgery until other options had been explored. Very professional and pleasant demeanor.
Very courteous and professional. I love that he explains the results and solutions of the what he finds during the appointment! He doesn't push you into a decision but let's you decide on your own lifestyle what is best for you.
Great attitude and listen to you thanks
Dr. Boardman performed my knee replacement surgery almost a year ago. He is amazing! He is so kind. He was so kind and caring prepping me for surgery, staff was also kind that day too! I couldn't go up and downstairs, do everyday life things. I go up and down stairs daily!! I have no pain and no issues! I'm so thankful. He has also performed surgery on my husband's shoulder, I think in 2020. He has no problems, feels great! He did a wonderful job! We highly recommend Dr. Boardman to everyone.
Doctor Boardman done my elbow surgery two years ago that's why when I started having trouble with my left hand I immediately went back to him he's a very caring person and wants to doing anything he can try to fix you very thorough good manners, doctor who actually has empathy for what is patients are going through not looking forward to another surgery but I picked doctor Boardman over anybody else if I have to have surgery. I would recommend him to anybody. Thank you doctor Boardman for caring. Rocky
Dr. Boardman was a very nice professional Compassionate doctor to meet with. I felt like he was very honest and upfront with me very thorough. The only thing that would help wouldβve been if his office had sent in my pain med prescription, especially since itβs over the weekend and theyβre not open again until Monday, (I was in with a fractured hip, thatβs not making for a comfortable weekend) but I would definitely recommend him if somebody had an orthopedic issue
I have the utmost respect for Dr. Boardman. I have personally worked with him in an OR setting.. He has excellent Sterile technique and treats his Patients as if you were his family.. Working with someone. gives you the inside look at oneβs Ability. That ability outweighs, any other quality someone would have.. dr. Boardman is currently treating me for a Fractured shoulder. I trust in him explicitly. Thank you Dr.Boardman
Very good with them π
Great problem solver. Very good listener and compassionate. Would definitely recommend him.
He is very thorough & kind. Muscatine is fortunate to have him.

Dr Boardman & his team were quick and concerned about about my wellbeing, & diagnosing my recent new pain issues. Taking several new X-Rays, & several blood samples to determine if any infection was present & keeping me comfortable was a big relief
Dr Boardman is excellent and a joy to visit
Professional staff and really care about his patients.
Very caring doctor. Truely is here to get patient better. Explains everything. Makes you feel like ur his only patient does not show hes in a hurry. Pretty close to being on time.
Iβve seen Dr. Boardman on several occasions and heβs always given me the care I needed - from therapy to surgery, I am always pleased with his care and services. We are fortunate to have Dr. Boardman in our community.
Seems genuinely caring. Helps you, doesnt try to sell you on anything.
Doctor Bowmen put my wrist back together. What a magic maker.
Dr. Boardman and his team were absolutely awesome. I appreciated his team making me feel welcomed and managing my care respectful yet quickly. Dr. Boardman demonstrated exceptional bedside manners as he listened carefully first, then provided the plan for my care. Thank you, Dr. Boardman and the ORA team!
They don't mess around. Had x-rays visited with the Dr and was out of there in less then 45 minutes. Dr Boardman was straight and to the point no nonsense type of person.
Very fast and professional service Absolutely love how they run the business! DR Boardman is going to take care of my knee and I am looking forward too being under his professional care! Thomas.
I have had the good fortune to be treated by Dr Boardman a few times. He is knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend him as he is an excellent practitioner and surgeon.

I throughly recommend this office for any orthopedic needs! Dr. Boardman and his staff are wonderful! They listen, make decisions with you not for you about your medical care, and take their time with each patient. Which leads to my 4 instead of a 5 star review. The wait times are sometimes extremely long. I had a 10:55 appointment and waited until 12:30 before I saw the Dr. They are extremely busy and full. So I recommend not planning anything after this appointment because it is very difficult to determine how long youβll be waiting. Also, may I give a shout out to Amanda the casting nurse! She is AMAZING!!! Do I recommend this clinic? Absolutely!!!!
Great doctor and fixed me up well.
Very thorough, pleasant and clear.
Dr Boardman did a great job of explaining the prospective procedure and was very easy to work wit.
Office staff was friendly and efficient. Dr Boardman has a great bedside manner and took the time to needed to explain my injury and next steps. Would definitely recommend him!
Professional and very pleasant
Very nice doctor! Listened to what I had to say. Explained my x-ray.
Great doctor!!!! He did an amazing job repairing my fibula...
Personnel and staff always friendly and very helpful. Very professional office
Straight to the fact and get it done. Just what I like in a doctor.
After an unfortunate fall, Dr Boardman explained in easy to understand what the situation was & how to treat. Great followup visit as well
I think he really cares
I have been very pleased with my experience at ORA. Dr. Boardman is great, and so is the rest of the staff. ORA is a well oiled machine. The info they provide to a patient prior to surgery is so helpful. Most of my questions were answered by reading the materials thoroughly. The entire staff listened to my concerns and I was always encouraged to call if I had further questions or concerns.
Wonderful! Dr BOARDMAN does an excellent job in communicating with his patients. I would recommend him to everyone who needs help. He is very kind and a good listener.
Dr. Boardman is terrific! He explains into terms that anyone can understand. He draws pictures to really explain your problem! I would highly recommend him!!!
Dr Boardman is always thorough with his exams. He allows time for questions. Excellent bedside manner. He has always taken excellent care of me and I would highly recommend him
He explained whatβs wrong so I understood him.
The experience was one of professionalism. Competent and congenial. The take away was one of confidence
Dr Broadman was wonderfull very kind and helpful in finding a solution for my problem staff was equally helpful good people there.
He's amazing doctor he'll tell you step by step what he's doing he'll even draw it out where he's doing the cuts and everything and he's amazing
My husband is having his right knee done first in August. Then the left by Dr Boardman. We had our appointment with him, he said my husband needs the operations and was very polite and answered our questions.
Extremely pleased. The doc to the time to clearly explain my injury and the available treatments. Very professional but at the same time very down to earth.
Thank you Dr Boardman for the successful knee replacement and for your kind compassionate heart.
I had a full right knee replacement done by Steven Boardman MD. Dr Boardman was great if ever had to replace my left knee he would be the Dr I would go to in the future . I would highly recommend Dr Boardman and ORA team they helped me in ways to make good medical decisions. Thank you Dr Boardman and ORA Team
Very helpful! Learned more in my visit with him about my knee issues than I have in the last 6 months with all the other doctors at ORA. He showed me the x-rays and MRI images and explainedthings in a simple way that anyone would understand. I would highly recommend Dr. Boardman!!
He knew exactly what was wrong with my wrist , and immediately told me what my options were , treated my pain and a few days later I am pain free .
Very compassionate and thorough. Explains things very well.
Great job. Dr Boardman listened to my concerns and had recommendations on the best way to proceed. Iβve always been very happy with everything heβs done for me
Dr. Boardman was very thorough and diagnosed my knee pain very quickly.

Dr. Boardman took the time to explain my injuries, draw it out on paper with pencil and show me the x-rays. He gave me all my options on how to address my injury. I highly recommend this Doctor for shoulder injuries.
Nice visit. Kind of long wait in holding room.

I find it time to tell the world of medicine who is unorganized when this Doctor is Organized and runs an excellent business and a health clinic. Dr. Boardman is a part of a team of 'Competent People-' 'ORA' - in Moline IL is a 'CHOICE' 'class act' firm-of-doctors 'Everybody' - there knows what is going on with the human body mind 'they' are 'class act.' This man deserves 'Kindness'. He is 'Always' there to help you. He's a man of intelligence and moral 'especially his-kindness' he is 'sharp' 'whit' and 'snappy' - like that whole clinic. You go in and know what you want to know not the '2nd' - '3rd' time 'The-fist-time...' I not met a finer 'Organization' of a 'war chest' of Doctors this place is 'no-joke'

Caring, calm physician. Explains well.
Dr. Boardman is precise in his diagnosis and description of what will occur in surgery, thoughtful and sympathetic in acknowledging risks and optiona, and compassionate and amiable in relating with patients and family members.
Dr Boardman has a great bedside manner. He's very helpful and knowledgeable.. I highly recommend him.
I fell on my knee a few months ago, and came to Dr. Boardman for a 2nd opinion after leaving my local hospital unsatisfied with the answer. Dr. Boardman took the time to explain how the knee muscles and tendons are connected, and explained using enough medical terminology to help me understand, but also not too much to where I couldnβt understand. Highly, highly recommend. If I ever have a need for an orthopedic specialist again, Dr. Boardman will be my first choice, regardless of the distance.
Had surgery on 3 separate occasions with 3 of the ORA doctors and each of them were amazing! If you need shoulder surgery, Suleman Hussein literally fixed mine better than it was before! Had an accident in September and Dr. Chesser put a couple pins in my broken ankle. Had super quick healing time and they were super attentive and answered all of my questions. This February, I fell and broke my wrist with a distal radial fracture, and Dr. Boardman put me together like a puzzle. Six weeks later and my progress is remarkable! Thank you all so much for your attentiveness and your pursuit of excellence!
Initial visit was great with Dr. BOARDMAN was great. Didn't enjoy the hour wait time . My appointment was for 9:10 and finely got to see him , a hour later.

Dr. Boardman is brilliant. His added talent is being able to explain a complicated diagnosis to where you understand it. In addition, I have had two procedures done that he did not recommend for my third similar problem because he diagnosed an overlying problem. Overnight I was in much less pain, and I still have a further appointment which he recommend recommended to a rheumatologist to remedy my illness.
Wow what a far cry from an emergency room had a weight lifting accident and needed help immediately was in severe pain and Boyden. They come through, they have me on my road. Recovery already and everyone was professional. Friendly helpful and caring loved my experience.
