“I so appreciate Dr. Dykstra's decision to postpone the surgery we had planned in favor of a different surgery that he thought would be better. It was a difficult choice, but I believe he made the right choice. Thanks, Dr. Dykstra.”

“It was great; he did an exam, explained what was wrong with my hand, and explained the two procedures, one surgical and one non-surgical. He performed the non-surgical procedure, which was two injections to see if that would relieve the problem. It was two visits, and it worked. The problem has not returned, and my hand feels great. Thank you! I appreciate a doctor that tries non-surgical oppositions first. The wait was minimal, and I was in and out of there within 15-20 minutes.”

“I had a pre-op visit and evaluation, with Dr. Dykstra. His knowledge, calming demeanor, and professional recommendations, had an extremely calming affect on both my wife and I. I was a short notice, unscheduled, addition to his busy schedule. He made us feel comfortable, and quickly fit us into his surgery schedule, for the next day. Not having to worry about an emergency surgery and being able to put it behind me quickly, was great for both myself and my wife. Thank you”

“Dr. Dykstra has performed 3 surgeries on my hands and the post-op care has been excellent. The clinic and doctor are always available to me, should the need arise between appointments. The patient teaching is appropriate and thorough, which is greatly appreciated. I am appreciative of the newest safeguards to make sure those entering the clinic are not febrile and have not traveled outside our area. Any provider I have ever encountered at BHOSC, whether it was a physician, PA, nurse, physical therapist, receptionist, or radiology tech has been professional, pleasant, and proficient in their required skills. I would highly recommend BHOSC to anyone who has a need for these kinds of services.”

“I was very impressed with Dr. Dykstra. He interacted with me with explanations about my x-rays, options for surgery, and answers to my questions. From his explanations and ability to listen, he instilled in me a confidence in his knowledge and abilities. I assume that he has many patients and surgeries but I felt that he focused on me and my injury appropriately and kindly. I believe that the surgery was successful and in my best interest.”
