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.

Horrible Experience with Dr. David Kritz !!
He is CONDESCENDING and UNCARING, UNPROFESSIONAL at best!! My son most likely would have DIED if we had listened to Dr. Kritz's medical advice!! During the Covid Pandemic, Dr. Kritz had TUNNEL VISION and only saw COVID!! We FIRED him immediately when my son was Properly Diagnosed in the ER. My son went into EMERGENCY SURGERY for STAPH INFECTION...Nothing to do with COVID. Very dangerous small minded "Doctor"! Also, prior to this situation, Dr. Kritz's advise to my daughters sore shoulder during high school Competitive swim season, was to "Stop Swimming". What!!? My kids were going to Urgent Care instead of being exposed to Dr. Kritz's Condescending and Cavalier attitude about their less than urgent matters. (ie; Respiratory Infections, Sinus Infections, sport injuries, etc) Know the TRUTH about Patient reviews! This Patient and Family were lucky to find MUCH BETTER Doctors! Enough was ENOUGH!!

I agree with the comment that he is bordering on incompetence. I was assured that he had experience with T1 diabetes, but after a couple visits, it was obvious he did not. He prescribed the wrong amount of insulin twice. Would not refer to endocrinologist, or podiatrist. He forgot blood work, had to go back, and he still missed ordering cholesterol. Had tested Vit D Deficient and he said to supplement, I did and then when I asked for a test to check my new levels, he told me that Vit D wasn't important! I have been diagnosed with Covid19 and was trying to talk to the Dr. because I can't get my blood glucose levels down and the administrator said the soonest we could get in was over a week away. The person setting the appointments was condescending and rude, not to mention completely dismissive. I suppose he is the type of Dr. that is fine if you never have to visit him.

Nice person however borders on incompetent. I needed a pre-op physical before surgery. He neglected to order any blood work or chest x-ray before surgery and did not mention I had sleep apnea, ordered wrong prescription. Surgery had to be cancelled on day of surgery for his negligence to document my health issues. Also he believes he knows all medical specialties and belittles other doctors for ordering surgies.

Dr. Kritz was my Doctor for many years but when I retired we moved away from Orange my Insurance no longer allow me to go to him. Over the years I grew to trust him a lot.
