My Comeback Story: Daryl W.

I was originally referred to Dr. Richard Woodworth through a workers’ compensation physician and my attorney. From my very first visit, both Dr. Woodworth and his staff made me feel as though I had walked into the home of a close family member. While the environment was clearly professional, it was also calm, welcoming, and completely free of tension.

The staff greeted me as if I were a long-standing patient, treating me with genuine dignity and respect. To me, this speaks volumes about Dr. Woodworth—not only as a physician, but also as a leader. The way his staff cares for patients reflects the values he instills in his practice.

Dr. Woodworth is a personable and engaging orthopedic surgeon with deep ties to the community. He clearly cares about people beyond the walls of his practice. During the past year of treatment, each visit has included not only excellent medical care but also thoughtful conversation—stories about life, experiences he’s witnessed, and insights that remind you you’re being treated by a truly human doctor.

He is both an exceptional physician and an outstanding person. I honestly cannot imagine having found a better doctor or surgeon, even if I had chosen one myself. I genuinely look forward to my appointments and the time spent during examinations and now three surgeries.

I feel truly blessed that Dr. Woodworth and his staff—who have consistently treated me like family—are the ones overseeing my care throughout my recovery. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Richard Woodworth to anyone in need of an orthopedic specialist of his caliber, professionalism, and class.
