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.

I have never in my experience met a more arrogant, cold, and non-caring doctor than Dr. Dietrich. I forced my husband to see him on 3 occasions (thinking it would get better) because of back issues and each time he was worse. He actually asked him "what do you want?" Well obviuosly he wants to be able to function and sleep without popping aleve everyday. Dr. Dietrich acted like he was just being bothered and annoyed. Then after prescribing him a steroid pack he has never returned any calls to his office for a follow up. Very unprofessional and I would never send anyone to him or his office if this is how they run their business.

Dr. Dietrich was recommended by my physical therapist and I'm glad she did. He was very professional, straight forward in his explanations and was able to get me in to have caudal injection very quickly. My pain has gone from a 9 to a 2 at this time. Thank you so much for helping me!

Dr. Dietrich provided professional advice for helping my son heal from his recent concussion. The office atmosphere is welcoming and we witnessed staff assist clients on many levels. As a patient ~ my son appreciates Dr. Dietrich's factual delivery and instructions; and pleasant style. We appreciate the time & information shared by Dr. Dietrich. We absolutely recommend families to seek his professional guidance and care.
