Practicing for Over 35 Years

A lifetime of flavor and inspiration captured in every bottle. All timeless recipes are rooted in tradition, as well as being the successful culmination of years of trial and error. Bone Doctors’ Barbeque® is no different, drawing on inspiration and insight from the lives of creators, Dr. David Heilbronner and Dr. Bruce Wilhelmsen.

BUILDING ON THE LEGACY

Bone Doctors' BBQ was founded by Dr. David Heilbronner and Dr. Bruce Wilhelmsen, two orthopedic surgeons from Charlottesville, Virginia, who shared a passion for cooking. Their journey began with a homemade smoker and a neighbor’s basting sauce recipe, which they meticulously refined over the years. This dedication led to the creation of an edgy line of barbecue sauces that blend savory spices with natural ingredients—free from preservatives and artificial additives. Their sauces gained popularity, even helping fund a soccer team’s trip to Europe through sales at local games.

CARRYING THE TORCH

Today, as the new stewards of Bone Doctors' BBQ, we’re honored to carry on the legacy of a brand you can always rely on. While we’re not orthopedic surgeons, like David and Bruce, we share their passion for creating something extraordinary. Every bottle of sauce we make reflects our commitment to quality—because our customers deserve nothing less. Our vision is to elevate the art of grilling and everyday cooking. Whether you're smoking meat for 6 hours or whipping up dinner in 15 minutes, our sauces are already 'doctored up' and ready to go. Just shake, twist, and enjoy.

The Cure for the Common Barbeque ®

Bone Doctors' BBQ is more than just a brand; it’s a legacy. Our mission is to make every gathering around the table unforgettable. We’re excited to write the next chapter of Bone Doctors' BBQ and invite you to be part of this flavorful journey—one that’s rooted in tradition, fueled by innovation, and driven by a commitment to our community.
