  • Patient Testimonials

    • Cari Belfair, WA 03.26.19

      Dr. Bosenberg is a treasure. He spent so much time talking to us and making us feel comfortable with our infant daughter's surgery. We spent the hours waiting for her to be finished with her surgery knowing that he was taking care of her and had the experience and love for children, especially those with a cleft, that was necessary to give us peace of mind.

    • Angelica Pasco, wa 01.31.19

      Dr. Bosenberg was amazing. He helped calm our son's nerves as well as ours. He was able to explain exactly what he was going to do to our 8 year old, letting him know he would be pain free and well taken care of. For us, the anesthesia was the scariest part of the surgery and I felt well assured after having spoken with Dr. Bosenberg.

    • Deborah Olympia 12.17.17

      Dr. Bosenberg clearly brings over 40 years of experience. He treated my daughter recently, as if she were a member of his own family. I am grateful to have met him. My daughter was up and about the next day, requiring nothing more than Tylenol. Excellent Care!

    Recommend Dr. Adrian T. Bosenberg
