Dr. Stenquist is simply the best physician I have had in all my years. He takes time, he listens, he has wonderful empathy, and a great sense of humor. I feel very lucky to have had him step in to care for me in one of the worst times of my life.

Dr Stenquist is one of the very best doctors/surgeons. We cannot say enough good things about him. He is absolutely amazing, he saved my brother's leg and has done amazing work on all his follow ups. He is very compassionate, good humored and brilliant.

Dr. Stenquist is top tier! He's smart, has great beside manner, and knows what he is doing. My ankle injury was a really bad one, but he repaired it amazingly well and made the whole recovery process as easy as possible. I would trust him with future procedures and highly recommend him!

I can't say enough about how impressed I was with this physician. He was wonderful. He saw me in short notice after I'd had a bad injury that was misdiagnosed. He was kind. He was encouraging. He was knowledgeable. He put me at ease. I just can't say enough of how highly I would recommend him to anybody in the future. And I can't say enough about how wonderful he was. I am very appreciative of his care.

I like Dr. Stenquist very much. He was compassionate caring and definitely made his point about non-bearing weight on my leg. I didn't realize how serious the break was. I know it's gonna be a long process for healing. I really like Dr. Stenquist.

Dr. Stenquist was thoughtful, patient, and empathetic to my situation. He really seemed to want to help me and advocated for me very thoroughly. With other doctors, I cannot recommend Dr. Stenquist enough. My frustration with my experience stems with the preoperative care telling me the wrong amount of time to not eat, causing them to cancel my surgery and live with my broken arm for an additional two days. I'm incredibly frustrated by what happened. I appreciate that it was not Dr. Stenquist's fault. He did a really, really great job and I have really enjoyed having him as a doctor. But yeah, I really got screwed over by the preoperative care team today.

Very good listener. Provides thoughtful feedback and thoroughly answers my questions. Only MD I like to have a visit with. He's honest and provides truthful answers I.e., will need to deal with stiffness always- this stinks but he's truthful without sugar coating it. Speaks in a kind way, not gruff or matter-of-fact.

Mr. Stenquist took the time to listen to all the questions I had about the surgery, made sure I understood the issue that was going on and made me feel comfortable with the care plan that was being put in place for me. It made me feel comfortable and confident that I was in good hands despite all of the unknowns of my condition and the uncertainty. I would definitely recommend his care to a family or friend.

Dr. Stenquist has proven to be the right trauma surgeon for the injuries I suffered last Fall when I fell in my house. I will be forever thankful for the expert care he has given me. It has been a long and difficult recovery, but he made the right decision at the beginning for the best result at the end.

Both Dr. Stenquist and his PA [redacted] we're very friendly,courteous and informative. They listened to everything I had to say and helped me make an informed decision on how to move forward.
