Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.
If I could give "0" stars, I would. HORRIBLE person. HORRIBLE "doctor". Do not waste your time or money to go to this man. He doesn't even deserve to be called a doctor. I have never written a review in my life until now.

I see from the medical/ legal action(S) taken against him by medical and legal means, as shown on your website, he continues his arrogant, unprofessional behavior with a complete lack of sensitivity. My disgust centers on his behavior on new years day, 2019.

I would never recommend Dr. Lobitz. He is rude, pushy and totally out of line. He has no business dealing with people. Not only was he disrespectful towards me but he was disrespectful towards my husband as well.

Seemed soulless and arrogant. Was already in pain and he was hurting me more. When I told him to stop, he didn't.

I had a great experience with Dr. Lobitz he is funny and blunt and I enjoy that. (I guess having a sense of humor helps.) I don't need a doctor to coddle me like a child. I just want to know the bottom line and get out of the office. He was very thorough and patient with me during my visit. I was trepidatious about going to an Urgent care for the first time but was very pleasantly surprised by the whole visit. Great place and a great Doc.

Staff was very nice. Dr Lobitz appeared to have his mind made up when he walked in suggesting I hurt my eye through wood work (I DID NOT). Never got within 2 feet of me, but said I had a laceration on my eye. I then went to my eye doctor who said a small capilary had burst and every thing would clear up in a few days to a week, which it did.

I was very disappointed in Dr. Lobitz decision making. He did not really base his decision on facts or symptoms. He did not offer anything to help reduce the fever like I had at the ER. He was very casual and just going through the motions. He was not a great listener but went with his gut I guess. I will never use him ever again. It was a complete waste of money, time, and gas.

I would NOT recommend Dr. Lobitz if my life depended on it. He was extremely unprofessional & rude. Instead of talking about why I was at the office, he continued to bring attention to my tattoos & ask me several questions about why I got them & if I only hung out with tattooed people--yeah, he did that. I'm a nurse (to which he asked, A student nurse?--no, a REAL nurse. I know, shocking. Tattooed and employed in healthcare! This guy has no idea how to treat people.
