Doctor Bagwe is highly recommended for your surgical procedure(s). He has a great bedside manner as well as his assistant(s) and staff. His attention to detail is above reproach. He explained every course of action prior to the operation. He performed achilles tendon repair on me and a spiral fracture repair and surgery on my amazing girlfriend. Just amazing!

This is number one if you are looking for the best Orthopedic Surgeon on planet earth. As they say you don't know what you've got till it's gone. That's where I was for a year of my life as I couldn't take many steps at all without excruciating pain and then I found Dr. Bagwe No words could ever express how I feel about what he has done for me. He honestly has given me my life back to be able to walk even across the room is a blessing. He is so caring with his patients and explains Everything about the surgery before and after. He has even worked on St. Louis Cardinals

Dr. Bagwe wasnt wearing a mask, nor were 7/8 staff members. I dont understand how you could be a doctor and not take COVID seriously, but they clearly dont take it seriously at this office. I will not be returning.

After I fell off a ladder in 2007 and crushed my calcaneus, I was referred to a couple of foot surgeons, both of which said there was not much they could do for me. A friend recommended Dr Bagwe and I went to him. He performed my surgery a week later and I've had no problem for over 14 years now.

I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Bagwe. I trusted him for my extensive Achilles surgery in 2017 he did such a great job I trusted him again in 2020. For my other achilles surgery on the other foot.Even the St. Louis Cardinals Put their trust in him as well. He is extremely knowledgeable and caring and he explains before surgery and after surgery thoroughly. I appreciate him and his knowledge too.I hope I never need him again but I would HIGHLY recommend him to everyone. If I could give him more than five stars I definitely would.

He is hands down the best surgeon for major trauma in the foot. I was crushed by a sky track fork against a concrete pillar and this man saved my foot for me. He shows a lot of different options, truthful about everything he has planned or will contact you with further information regarding certain decisions. He has helped me more than I can ever repay. I would recommend his work to anyone. He is hands down the best surgeon I have ever had. His work is truly amazing, considering I no longer hurt to walk, and am able to live my life without pain and suffering.
