He has served as the Chairman of the Department of Pediatrics at WakeMed, and previously served for 12 years as the lead physician at Oberlin Road Pediatrics.
Dr. Bodenstine was smart enough to marry his wife of over 40 years not too long after meeting her...a Raleigh native (!), "Cissy" Skidmore Bodenstine; together they have raised three kind and loving children. They are blessed that all three children and their families, including 7 grandchildren, live in the immediate area and share lots of time together.
