Dr. Bodrero is originally from Logan, Utah but has lived all over the Midwest and in Germany. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from Utah State University and a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Organic Chemistry from Michigan State University (MSU). He attended A.T. Still University Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine, receiving his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree. He began a residency at Davenport Medical Center in Iowa and finished at the family medicine residency of the Colorado Springs Osteopathic Foundation in Colorado. He started his own family practice in the area, which he developed into an integrative medicine practice. "My interests included osteopathic manipulation and treating chronic illnesses such as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue,"
said Dr. Bodrero.
Prior to coming to RVU, he worked in the Food Science Department at MSU in flavor chemistry research and then for Sigma Chemical Corporation in Missouri, where he did organic synthesis and production development of organic chemicals for use in scientific research. Last year, he merged his practice with Centura Health Physicians Group.
Dr. Bodrero is looking forward to continuing his career at RVU-SU. "I’m excited to be training future physicians as part of the OPP faculty," he said. He loves osteopathy and osteopathic manipulative medicine. "I loved caring for my patients. I have learned that everyone deserves compassion and to be listened to."
He and his wife, Sandra, like to help others be healthy. He also enjoys reading, walking, gardening, and church service. They have three children and six grandchildren. A little known fact about him is that he hitchhiked from Utah to Alaska during summer vacation while in college.
