Dr frank did a SI joint fusion on me in 2013 and since then my sciatica symptoms have improved about 80%. That's also taking in my 12 other lu.bar spine surgeries...

Review for Dr. Frank

Dr. Bauwens replaced my left knee in Feb. 2016. I have had nothing but pain, swelling in the replaced knee area. I had gone back to Dr. Bauwens several times to no avail. I have no choice but to "live with" the pain, swelling of my left knee replacement by Dr. Bauwens.

Review for Dr. Bauwens

My mom always swore by Bauwens so when I injured myself I went to him, after a failed Urgent Care assessment. The guy is extremely knowledgeable, knows what to look for, and is compassionate beyond belief. As I’ve had ongoing related problems I find myself fortunate to have him as a Doc.

Review for Dr. Bauwens

He's a top-notch orthopedic surgeon who never rushes through appointments and takes plenty of time to listen to patients and then explain his recommendations & answer any & all questions before proceeding with any treatments. Highly recommend him!

Review for Dr. Bauwens

Is he back in practice? I had surgery in May, 2017 laminectomy . It did not help. I need to see him again. Please can I make an appointment? I did not get to see him again because of his own surgery, but if he is seeing patients again, I would like an appt. I definitely would recommend him. ...
