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

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.

Dr. Bagwe and staff were a blessing to my family last year after my traumatic fall. They saw me right away. I always felt welcomed in their office and felt like I was a person rather than just another patient. His staff really connects with their patients. I highly recommend this office. My podiatrist actually asked me who my surgeon was, because he thought he did amazing work and I was lucky to still have a functioning foot. Thank you Dr. Bagwe and staff!

Dr Bagwe is amazing! I broke my leg and ripped out all of the ligaments in my ankle. He restructured my ankle with new ligaments and repaired my broken fibula. His office is very accommodating because I came in several times to get my cast reapplied since I kept trying to itch my leg. I recommend him to anyone! He also did my aunts knee replacement.
