Patient Reviews

Excellent people very good people skills
Very friendly and informative!
Dr. Boardman is such a caring and great guy! He listens and understands your concerns. Provides the best options without jumping to drastic measures such as surgery.
Leg has created for drs. And it's upset
Went to see Dr due to knee pain. I have had some abnormal blood work by general practitioner that they just blew off and wanted to put me on pain meds. Dr Boardman referd me to a specialist to try and find the root cause of my abnormal blood work and cause of my pain rather than just mask it with pain meds. He seemed to really care about getting answers for me to help me get on a path to recovery.
Always happy with dr Boardman/Brittney at ORA
Dr Boardman did a remarkable job of zeroing in on my hip problem. He was very cordial and I would recommend him to anyone having hip pain issues
I really love ORA And the staff and doctors that have treated me. They have a great team that cares about your needs first and thatβs important.
5 months since my hip replacement and I could not be happier quality of life is so much better doing all of the things Dr Boardman assured me I would be able to do a special thanks to him and Brittany Rodriguez and everyone at ORA so grateful THANK YOU !

I have used Dr Boardman for left and right elbow surgery. Having issues with rotator cuff now. I wouldnβt trust anyone else.

I like going to ORA, the Drs and staff are very helpful, nice and knowledgable.
Dr. Boardman has been my knee doctor for 20+ years. I have absolute trust in him. He always explains things carefully and then listens and responds to my concerns. I heartily recommend him.
I am pleased with the care I got at the ORA office Dr. Boardman explained everything so I could understand and didn't rush me but answered my questions.
Amazing
I think of Dr. Boardman as a person that deserves everything in life and beyond because heβs a great, great, great person. No finer human being.
First time with Boardman. Pretty kool Doc. He explained things well and gave several options on treatment. I'm glad I ended up with him.
My experience with Dr.Boardman was very informative and I was impressed by his calm caring manner. I didn't feel like I was talked down to. He has a very impressive academic resume. He was very professional and I left feeling that I am in good hands.
Dr Boardman is the best! He has helped me so many times over the years. HeΓ’ΒΒs very knowledgeable and has a great memory! He remembered me when I saw him just recently from over 10 years ago. I would definitely recommend him for any issues with hips knees, whatever it might be.
Excellent!
Excellent Doctor. Great experience. Shoulder doing great. Schedule me for the other one, please.
Awesome doctor, caring and understanding to his patients
Doctor Boardman is wonderful
I did have to wait awhile to see Dr Boardman yesterday. I was so pleased with his sharing of information. He's very pleasant and has great bedside manners. Thankful that he was the Dr. coming in on my emergency surgery. Definitely a 5 star Dr. Thank you again Dr. Boardman!
Skilled, caring surgeon. I highly recommend Dr Boardman and his staff. He even prayed with me before surgery.
I always have a good experience at ORA. Everybody is always so hdlpful. Dr. Boardman is always willing to answer any question that i may have. I will always reccomend ORA to friends and family. Thanks for all of your good care.
Very professional Doctor.
Brittany Rodriguez and Dr Boardman make a great team and are very good healthcare providers. I canβt thank them enough for the care they given me and the compassion theyβve shown!
Dr Steven Boardman replaced both my knees over 10 years ago and I'm still doing great! After decades of 5 knee surgeries by other physicians, Dr Boardman provided me with the best care, pain relief, and excellent skills. Highly recommend him, as he treated my elderly mother Barbara Hillyer as well and was fantastic!
Dr. Boardman always kind & professional. Iβve had 2 surgeries in the past w/him w/no issues. Thatβs why I was so thrilled heβs still at ORA for my current issues. π
I love Dr Boardman. He has a great personality and explains everything very thoroughly. I would highly recommend him. He has done 2 elbow surgeries and about to do a wrist surgery next week for me. I completely trust him
Dr. Boardman's knowledge and bedside manner are to be commended. The care he shows for his patients is top notch. If your looking for an orthopedic, donβt look any further Dr Boardman is the one.
With his caring attitude from the start, you feel a sense of relief buy listening to him explaining and show you what is happening so you understand clearly. Dr Boardman doesnβt dismiss your concerns, he continues seeing you until he feels your good to go! He has fixed my rotator cuff surgery and carpal tunnel repair on both hands. I would recommend Dr Boardman and I continue to see him if I need his services!
I've been seeing Dr Boardman for over 15 yrs! He has done 3 surgeries on my knees and I am very satisfied. He is so good at education I don't feel left in the dark about what's going to happen. I love his Nurse practioners too! He'll likely b doing my knee replacement when the time comes! He has kept me active and able to work the hospital and ambulance! Thanks Doc!
I needed an operation on broken wrist. Easy experience.
Doctor and staff very personable, no long wait.
Visit went well. Looking forward to good knees. Really like that you make one comfortable when you explain procedure very polite and courteous. Never had a Dr like you before Thanks
Great Doctor, friendly, kind, & makes everything understandable. I really appreciate him nd his work
Dr was on time for appointment, even with X-rays being taken first. Easy to understand & knowledgeable, to the point. Also asked if I had any questions.
The entire process of my hip replacement from the first visit to assess my pain, until the 6 week post-op visit was very professional. After my personal doctor recommended ORA and Dr. Boardman to me, the process went very smoothly. We began with x-rays, therapy, and a lot of conversation about the extent of pain, and whether it was improving or worsening. We determined that replacement was the best option. And I say we, because I was always a part of any decisions. I was well prepared for the replacement surgery the end of December, and was well cared for at by Unity Point Health and Dr. Boardman's team. I continue with stretching exorcises and movement seems to improve every day. I am blessed to have received such great care and would highly recommend Dr. Boardman and ORA.
Dr. Boardman was very friendly and knowledgeable! He explained things very thoroughly.

Dr. Boardman is such a pleasure to see he always greets me with a big smile which helps me to feel more at ease. He throughly listens to my concerns and doesn't rush me he listens. I have had surgery's with much success done by him. If you need to see a Dr. I suggest Dr. Boardman and ORA.
Dr Boardman, I received a steroid shot in my right shoulder and the pain is gone which I'm glad. I really like how hes very professional and explains everything to me in a way you can understand it. I really enjoyed my visit with him yesterday and I'm glad the horrible pain I had is not there today. Thank you so much Dr Boardman.

His immediate response and professionalism. This made a major change in my outcome.

Great first visit with doctor Boardman. Knowledgeable and pleasant. Spent the time to assess the problem and work out a plan to get on a road to recovery.
Dr. Boardman explained my x-rays thoroughly and gave me options to control my shoulder pain. When in reality, my shoulder is perfect but my arthritic collar bone is not. I would recommend him as he is so pleasant to talk to.

Great doctor
So professional and very compassionate. Thank you Dr. Boardman for taking such good care of me.
Patient, understanding and direct. As helpful as possible. Thank you.
I was having some pain and discomfort in my knee. I went to the ER and had testing done. I contacted ORA after getting the results of my tests, and was able to be seen by Dr. Boardman on very short notice. He was very thorough and explained things in a way that I could understand. The treatment he provided helped relieve my pain. He recommended a follow up appointment to be sure things were moving in the right direction. I would highly recommend Dr. Boardman.
Dr Boardman and Brittany are always very kind and caring!
Great professional doctor with a sense of humor.Regards
Dr Boardman both listened well and explained everything very well. He answered all my questions and was not rushed despite the fact I was worked into his schedule due to the nature of my injury.
Initial visit was great DR Boardman was very informative and professional
Dr. Boardman is a very very good doctor I had so much anxiety when I got to the hospital preparing for my surgery but when he came in to talk to me and held my hand and we said a prayer before we got started all my anxiety went away.. Thank you so much for taking good care of me. Sincerely Robin mcgee
Dr. Birdman is a great doctor. He has a wonderful bedside manor and is excellent in the skill department. I don't think you can find one that can come close to him in the quad city area.
A great doctor/surgeon. π Explains everything so I can understand.
My meeting went very well. Dr Boardman did an excellent job explaining the entire procedure. Knowing what to expect from the operation going forward made me realize that we made the right decision to move ahead with my new hip.
Dr. Steve Boardman was very informative and took his time explaining the details of my sonβs knee injury.
My daughter fractured her collarbone and we were referred to Dr. Boardman. She brought a stuffed animal with her because she was nervous, and he asked what it's name was and played with it a little, and managed to make her laugh at a time when she was scared and in pain. It was obvious he was knowledgeable and experienced in his practice, as well as personable and fun. I would recommend him to anyone who has a nervous kid coming in.
I love the companion and care you give and it's easy to understand what is wrong with my joints thank you all
I went to see Dr. Steve Boardman and elected to have an injection in my right shoulder due to ongoing rounds of pain. I feared the injection. But actually, even though there was discomfort during the injection, that all ceased once the needle was withdrawn. I am amazed actually there has been no further discomfort. Dr. Boardman made me a comfortable as possible and the treatment was very successful. I am left wondering how the area could feel so good after making me seek treatment. I am most pleased with the outcome!!
This doctor was great, and we were in and out quickly. The doctor was also very understanding.
Dr. Boardman and all of the ORA staff were amazing! My 7 year old broke his elbow and they all exhibited excellent patient care by explaining things so he could understand, letting him see his x-rays, and even walking him through the process of cutting off the casts so it wasnβt scary. Highly recommend!
