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

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 .

I recommend Dr. Boardman for anyone who is having orthopedic issues. He is very thorough with his examination and treatment. He has done a fantastic job of keeping me pain free, without narcotics beyond the initial injury, which is a bonus. He is very pleasant and the staff are great. He explains everything beautifully so that I understand what is going on and I leave there with my questions answered. So grateful to have him for a doctor!!
Dr. Boardman performed miracle work on my arthritic hand! I'm definitely going back to Dr. Boardman soon to have my other hand fixed!

Excellent care and staff very professional
expeditious diagnosis and surgery to remedy; good explanation of injury and details of repairs; relatively quick access; cast room experienced and efficient
I was seen in the Muscaine office by Dr. Boardman. He was very kind & took the time with me to explain about the severe arthritis in my right knee. He was very informative and yet to the point. He explained that basically I could live with the pain or have a total knee replacement done. I have some weight issues to resolve and a physical yet to be done to make sure there are not any other issues so it will be a few months yet. I feel very satisfied. and confident in Dr. Boardman's abilities and in his care of me!!
Great staff , short wait times , Dr Boardman explains everything very well
Dr .Boardman is a great Dr. whom I've had the great experience previously when he repaired my left knees after I tore my mcls . My knee feels like it's new again and I can't thank him enough for that . When recently I had a rollover accident ,my left shoulder required surgery for a rotator tear . When they asked who I wanted for to have it repaired by ,I asked for Dr. Boardman . He gives the truth about your injury and actually cares about the patient . He has such a great humor that really makes you feel comfortable and not anxious about the procedure . Would I recommend him to others......without blinking an eye . His post procedure timeline for rehabilitation is on point ,while others start you too soon which can undo the repair and cause you more downtime . Hands down he's the best for any ORA procedure and the definite choice for me should I have any more accidents that require his services .
Not very detailed on patient needs otherwise so far a good rating
Dr Boardman has a great approach to patient communication! His surgical skills are amazing. I had a severe break. Dr Boardman explained what he was planning, what were the risks and all with empathy. With his surgical skills I was very fortunate not to experience any of the risks that were described. Thank you Dr Boardman
Dr. Boardman replaced my right knee. I really like him not only as a doctor but as a person. Really friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend him if you need a knee repaired.
Always leave feeling like your provider listens, cares and provides you what he feels is best for each individual.
I have nothing but good things to say about this business and Dr. Steven Boardman. I have had four different surgeries here and they have been very accommodating. The staff is always willing to help and truly seem like they care. We are very lucky to have this service and business in the Quad cities
dr. is always pleasant and straight to the point. much appreciated.
Dr Boardman did an excellent job fixing my ankle up. His staff is very nice and helpful when answering questions. He was careful to wait and see if I could heal on my own with a cast, but later he showed me details from an X-ray that suggested a surgery was in order. I had the surgery, which went very well and actually progressed the healing process. Although I never want to go through another broken ankle, I would definitely go back to see him to fix it. Thank you Dr Boardman.
We were attended promptly and the staff is very professional.
I have been going here for several years. I just had a total knee replacement with Dr. Boardman, and I am extremely happy with the results. I would recommend him to anyone!
Wonderful visit. He is kind and listens. Never hurries through visit.
They do a very good job the people are very nice and efficient.
I am very happy with my care with Dr. Boardman. He explained my break and what to expect and the next steps to my recovery.
It was very crowded because of the ice. A lot of injuries from ir. They got us through as soon as they could. The break was explained to us and what was going to happen to fix it. Everything went great. Thanks.
Very satisfied with Dr zBoardman, he did an exceptional surgery on my hip. I would Highly recommend him to friends and family
I’m impressed by the way Dr. Boardman really focuses on what you’re telling him. He always seems genuinely concerned and I never feel hurried. He is very knowledgeable and easy to talk too.
They are very nice & polite. Don't have to wait very long to get in. I have been going to Dr. Boardman for a long time and I would recommend him to everyone.
Excellent communication. Made me feel at ease. Let me know what to expect and why.
