Steven Boardman
M.D.

Very thorough. Explains options and potential outcomes very well. Steve has done both of my knees, including the robotic procedure for the most recent one (2021; 1st one done in 2016). All went well and I was playing volleyball 2 months after the 1st one was done; COVID shut down possibility of volleyball for the 2021 surgery, but I probably could have played after 3 months this time. Very pleased with the outcomes, his skills and demeanor!

This is the best place ever Dr. Boardman is a very thorough and good doctor I wouldn’t let anybody else work on me

I have been using ORA for about 40years now and I have really been very pleased with my overall experience. This last visit with Dr. Boardman was a very informative one. He was very thorough when he explained my upcoming surgery and made sure that I understood what he would be doing throughout. He took the time needed to answer my questions and his staff was very supportive of all of my needs. I am extremely satisfied with my experience at ORA and I would definitely recommend them to my family and friends. Thanks for all you do!!!

Just this year, I have had a right hip replacement, a left shoulder replacement, and a right shoulder replacement. All three were performed by Dr. Boardman at UnityPoint in Muscatine and all went well. Dr, Boardman is very good and I can’t say enough good things about UnityPoint, from the nurses to the food service folks.

Shoulder injury

Broken hip. Dr Boardman did my surgery. He explained everything perfectly. The staff in the Muscatine office is great. His nurses here are very caring and also explained everything that was going on. Definitely will go there again if I need anything

Dr Boardman did surgery on my knee. He was compassionate, honest and thorough. He's down to earth and easy to talk to. Thanks Dr Boardman😊

The office staff is courteous. The speed in which they get patients in for appointments, phenomenal. They respect patients time. Dr Boardman and NP Rodriguez do their best to relate to the patient and offer appropriate care.

Dr. Boardman did my surgery 6 years ago when I broke my wrist and he did an excellent job! I trusted him so much that he was my first choice when I needed carpel tunnel and arthritis surgery to relieve the pain in my thumb. He explains things so well and is very compassionate too. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that wants a Dr. that listens to your needs and provides you with the best options.

Wonderful service and very thorough evaluations. Dr. Boardman is wonderful. While it is never ideal to need to go to ortho I wouldn’t take my son anywhere else.

Dr Boardman was amazing very honest and direct kept me very well informed

Excellent dr. Very thorough. Explains everything and listens to what you have to say.

Dr Boardman took the time to explain the results of X-rays and potential treatments. Very informative.

Doctor appointment it’s a great doctor he listen to me and we went over what can be done with my knee

Very professional, knowledgeable and caring. Highly recommend.

I LOVE going. TO. Him. He always make YOU. FELL. COMFORTABLE. HAS. HELPED MEMANY TIMES. ALLWAYS. RECOMMEND. HIM. TO MY FRIEND'S.

I just had surgery on thumb and wrist very painful surgery. I'm thankful for Doctor Boardman for doing it he explained how I would fell afterwards and even help me with pain control. I would recommend him for any type of surgery needed he knows what he is doing. Thank you Doctor Boardman. Also don't forget nurses were very kind..

Dr. Boardman has been my surgeon for years and he’s always been a straight shooter when I come in and done a great job getting me fixed up and back on with life.

Very knowledgeable doctor takes the time to explain and makes sure you understand complete situation and it’s entirety. He’s very thorough I would highly recommend him.

It was particularly busy on the day of my appointment. Staff doesn’t seem to have worked out their efficiency. Assistants are fairly aloof when not in the presence of the doctor. Dr Boardman seemed a bit uncomfortable. However, I can tell he is a fine physician, knowledgeable of his craft. He answered questions adequately and he seems to care for patients. This was a preliminary visit so 4.5 stars.

Dr. Boardman did my hip replacement and I had absolutely NO problems with it. I am 3.5 months post op. He will be doing my first shoulder replacement in less than a month, since the hip procedure went so smoothly.

Dr Boardman was very helpful in dealing with my issues and helping me make a good decision for my situation. I look forward to working with Dr Boardman in the future and would highly recommend ORA as a professional organization.

Excited to know that the left knee replacement will take place in September! Given the pain currently, will be glad to get on a path of recovery! Dr. Boardman took the time to listen to my situation and adjust his diagnosis accordingly ! I have had right knee replacement, and the results were excellent! Looking for the same quality care on the left knee!

Follow-up visit for a bad shoulder. Dr. Boardman's PA had given me a steroid shot in the shoulder and two days later it was at 100%. Dr. Boardman had done a torn rotator cuff surgery on me in 2007. It healed 100%. DR. Boardman's PA (sorry I can't remember her name) was very professional and friendly. Dr. Boardman was very professional and friendly, like usual!

Very happy with everything they did, the new hip feels great. Very timely and great people

Apt handled in timely manor. Review of hip problem was explained in full

I just like this guy a lot. He's calm but all business. He's done three operations for me. I really trust him. He's a very likable person.

Dr. Boardman has done three operations for me & is a very likable person that you may trust.

I had hip replacement less than 2 weeks ago which Dr. Boardman performed. He did a terrific job. I also noticed how much the nurses admired and respected him.

He is very professional. He listens and he answers questions. The only thing lacking, but not about the doctor specifically, is the it would be wonderful to communicate with the doctor via MyChart. I can see lab data but I cannot communicate with the doctor and his nurse is abrupt and acts as if it is an imposition to answer questions over the phone.

Dr. Boardman is both personable and concise. I appreciate the quality of the service he provided for my dislocated finger.

They are timely, considerate, and very good with explanations

Dr. Boardman is down to earth and explains things about your specific problem short and sweet. Very much to the point and I wish not only more people could explain certain things that way but especially other doctors could do the same. Thanks Doc!

Dr. Boardman was very knowledgeable and professional in our consultation with him regarding my hip. He answered all of my questions and his staff was very efficient and professional. I would certainly recommend to anyone needing his services.

Great staff! and was kind & easy to talk to and described everything I needed to know in great detail.

Very friendly and informative

I really appreciate Dr. Boardman and his staff, they are a friendly and professional group. Dr. Boardman replaced my Rt hip 5 yrs ago very successfully. He will be replacing my Lt hip in March. Well it's about a year later. Was just starting my pre-op testing and Covid shutdown my elective surgery!! Saw Dr. Boardman today(3/4/21), scheduled my Lt. hip replacement for May 14th. Dr. Boardman and his staff are just as friendly and professional as ever.

Quick, courteous service. Especially appreciated being informed of what was going to be done before it was done.

Very happy with Dr. Boardman. He is easy to work with and get results. He’s a straight shooter.

Stopped in ORA to have my shoulder replacement checked out. After x-rays and exam, I know that all is well. Some minor rotator cuff inflammation can be addressed with specifically designed exercises. My past experience with Dr Boardman gives me high confidence in his knowledge and abilities.

Dr Boardman was very informative on my injury. Explained following steps to take and reviewed my MRI with me.

They are very professional & well organized.

Dr. Boardman was very attentive and took the time to make a drawing of my particular fracture and the treatment I needed. He didn't have access to show my x-rays from another medical facility so that's what he did.

He was straight to the point of why my son was seeing him and took action the same day as 1st appt.

I've been seeing Dr. Boardman for my steroid shots in my knees and hands, due tio rhuematoid arthritis. I need surgery but can't at this time, so I have to have these shots every 3 to 4 months. He is very understanding and compassionate about his patients. Thank You Dr. Boardman for all you have done for me

Yes very professional and polite and makes sure you are comfortable and helpful and very patient

Very friendly staff. Short wait times. Good care,

I have been going to ORA since 2008 and I only had one bad incident . Dr. Boardman had the personality of a porcupine, so I reported him. All the rest of the physicians are highly skilled and compassionate. I give them a 4.9 rating out of 5.

Very nice and professional people. They really care about how you feel. I have a workers comp injury and they have been very sympathetic about how I feel.

Dr. Boardman was great. He explained everything to me and everything went as expected. The pain was minimal and I think he is an outstanding surgeon.

Dr. Boardman is an excellent surgeon. I have nothing but good experiences with him and his staff. Low wait times. Caring staff. Very informative. Minimal pain. Would recommend to anyone.

Dr. BOARDMAN EXPLAINS EVERYTHING CLEARLY AND VERY KIND

Very good Dr and staff. I'm very satisfied.

Dr Boardman has done several surgeries on myself.... TOTALLY worth it...scares are as minimal as possible... n had a QUICK RECOVERY..... I WILL BE GOIN BACK TO Dr Boardman if I ever need anything else...NOT TO MENTION, GREAT BEDSIDE MANNER AND PASSIONATE AT WHAT HE DOES...Boardman really does care about his patients.

I always feel welcome at Dr. Boardman's office; everyone is kind and polite. Dr. Boardman has always given me excellent care. I recommend him to anyone who needs orthopedic care.

Caring staff. Good doctor very thoughtful

Doctor Boardman really knows his medicine. Fix me up so I could walk again without pain, etc. Orthopedic Doctor that is very good and listens to you and has time to let you know what is going on and what he is going to do for you. Like this Doctor and if you are looking for a great Doctor he he is.

Had my check up for after I had a new shoulder put in 1 year ago. Dr. Boardman did a fantastic job. I am so glad I had it done. Was in so much pain before and after surgery, there is now no pain. I can sleep again and no need for pain shots. Anyone that needs a new shoulder, should not put it off. Was back to work in 6 weeks!

DR. BOARDMAN VERY PROFESSIONAL, GREAT AT EXPLAINING THE PROBLEM AND WORKS ON HOW TO MAKE YOUR PAIN BETTER

I went into ORA Walk In with severe in my left hip and arm after taking a fall on cement. After checking in I was called back to the exam area and ushered immediately into exray. Seeing how much pain I was in the nurse had me go right away into an exam room. The physician's Assistant was very gentle and listened to my concerns. I was released and had an appointment to return in a week to see Dr. Boardman. Once again I didn't wait much longer than 10 or 15 minutes. Dr. Boardman ordered additional exrays because I had injured my ankle the day before and it was very painful and swollen. After the exrays Dr. Boardman came back into the exam room in less than 5 minutes to let me know my ankle had not been broken or fractured. He reviewed my chart and talked about how I was feeling. Dr. Boardman listened to my questions and concerns and alleviated any fears or concerns. I highly recommend ORA Wal in Clinic. It was very clean and practiced social distancing. I was made to feel comfortable from the moment I walked in until my appointment was over.

This the second operation i have had with Dr. Boardman very happy with him

I can’t find words that would translate the empathy and professionalism, Dr. Boardman displayed during the time my wife and I were going through the most challenging and unpredictable time. Both of us, my wife and I are from Canada and we’ve were in a semi-truck rollover accident and I was brought to him with hipbone serious fracture, my knee splitter into two halves and one part was crushed into small fragments and a broken arm. Doctor operated me the very same day but before that the way he spoke to me and guided me changed the way I was thinking about the situation and uncertainties I was going through. He performed a perfect surgeries while replacing entirely my new hip bone and he installed best device good for life time. I stayed in his hospital just 3 days after which I was transported to Canada via air ambulance. All those days when I stayed under his supervision were very special. He contacted me every day, he called me whenever I needed him and once the doctors in Canada here when they saw the reports and films of my operation they were also impressed by the art work of Dr. Boardman. I tell you, with full confidence that you can trust him and he will do his very best and I assure you that you will never have to regret. Thank you soooo much sir . I’ll always remember you .

It has been several years since Dr. Boardman repaired my right shoulder rotator cuff. I have come to forget it ever had a problem and work as I did before the tare. I have often thought of going back and saying thank you, Dr. Boardman for an excellent job. Might add he fixed my "trigger" thumb as well. Great job and thanks much.

Quick and painless

Dr. Boardman is very through and straight forward.

Staff was very polite and got me processed in a reasonable time. Whole the time I spent waiting to speak to the doctor was cumbersome, it's understandable because he had to review an MRI and x-rays that were taken prior to speaking with me.

24 hrs after being seen & today I have no pain using my left wrist! For the past 2 months I've taken 2 Advil three times a day with meals. None needed today. I'm glad that I moved my appt ahead instead of waiting another week. I'm grateful for the treatment I received, even though it was an hour past my appointment time when I was then seen for a10 minute consultation. Dr. Boardman diagnosed my ailment quickly & gave prompt treatment.

Been seeing Dr. Boardman for a hurt knee. Amazing Doctor who listens and spends quality time to help me get back on my feet! If you need an Ortho you need to see Dr. Boardman and the great staff.

Excellent care. Very knowledgeable. Takes time with you not just rush in and out. I would recommend him.

Would recommend Dr Boardman

I got right in and everyone is very friendly. I had x-rays and the technician was very nice and helpful. Hardly any wait for Dr. BOARDMAN once I got in the room. He is very understanding, kind and listens to all your concerns. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Boardman took the time to explain my situation and the options I had. He was very professional and answered all of my questions, and while I’m still in recovery I am very satisfied with my surgery and treatment. Thank you to Dr. Boardman and his nursing staff!

Very satisfied

Dr. Boardman is very knowledgeable and takes his time explaining everything.

Dr. Boardman is thorough and straight to the point. He explains the injury in detail as well as a plan for treatment and estimated recovery. I am happy and comfortable with him treating my broken ankle.

Dr. Boardman is very caring and takes the time to let you know exactly what's going on with the issues you may be having. He did a great job on my shoulder surgery. He is currently giving me great treatment for hip bursitis. He has also helped two others in my family. I've recently had hip surgery, and again Dr. Boardman has done an excellent job! I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Steven Boardman took the time @ the office to explain the X-rays and the complicated surgery he recommended for my shoulder after a fall on the ice. After my surgery he again took the time to explain recovery process & answer any questions my husband had. He is very professional with great interpersonal skills.

Dr Boardman is very honest with you he tells you like it is. 9 months ago he did surgery on my right femur it has healed very well. I would recommend him to everyone thanks you

Dr Boardman is very good I would recommend him

The doctor was very straight n to the point. N very nice

Extremely excellent service. No waiting, fast pre-appointment handling, and well informed application of medication. I would strongly recommend this doctor to all that require this type of service.

A very nice and honest Doctor. Explained everything in detail to me. Made sure I understood. He was patient and I didn’t feel like he was rushing me in and out. Would recommend ORA and him.

The staff is excellent at this facility.

Excellent service excellent doctor and staff

Dr. Boardman is well spoken, knowledgeable, took the time to explain my injury to me and why the plan of action is the best one for my circumstance. Dr. Boardman is going above the call of duty by coming in from out of town on his day off to operate.

Dr Boardman is an excellent Dr. Would recommend him to anyone I care about.

Dr Boardman is extremely knowledgeable in his field. He’s very kind and patient.

ORA is great! Everyone is very courteous. Dr. Boardman answered all my questions and took very good care of me!

I brought my 101 year old aunt to the walk in clinic in Moline after she took a fall at home. She was seen by a PA that spent a great deal of time and was incredibly thorough. Unfortunately the Xray showed a broken hip and they arranged ambulance transport to hospital. After all the routine pre-op testing. Dr Boardman came and explained in great detail the situation and what could be done. She had surgery a short time later and is doing well in her recovery. This has not been her first encounter with ORA, as she also sees Dr Sundar when necessary. She maintains a decent level of mobility because of the care she receives at ORA. Everyone there is knowledgeable, caring, compassionate and amazingly good at what they do. Thank you, ORA! P.S...somehow my grandson assigned this user name to my account..maybe you can help me with that as well! Haha PattiD

I have always received excellent care from the doctors and staff at ORA. My most recent experience is with Dr. Boardman. He repaired my right rotator cuff, and now it's time for the left. I wouldn't even consider going to a different surgeon.

Wonderful facility and very professional and caring staff

Very nice doctor.my son really like him..

I feel Dr Boardman truly cares for his patients and does his best to provide the best possible treatments .

Dr. Boardman is a great doctor. He is very thorough and has taken great care to ensure I am pain free. Quick appointments. He is the friendliest doctor I have had and I have always felt comfortable being examined. He explains things thoroughly so that I understand what is going on. I will recommend him to everyone! Thank you very much!

Dr. Boardman is excellent! He is thorough. He is very pleasant and explains things beautifully so that I understand what is happening. The wait time is short, it doesn't take long to get an appointment and the staff are the best. I will recommend to everyone who has orthopedic injuries. I am so happy to have him as my doctor!!!
