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.

After 2 shoulder surgerys i feel confident in recommending Dr Dietzel. I had both shoulders repaired and my surgery's went smooth. The staff took care of all my paperwork and insurance billing with no problems. I sent my neice for knee surgery and my mother in law for shoulder consultation. Both were happy with their results.

Dr. Dietzel has done surgery on both my shoulders and did a great job. He is a dedicated and compassionate doctor who has always explained what needed to be done before surgery and then after surgery would spend as much time as needed to explain what was done during surgery. I would recommend Dr. Dietzel to anyone having shoulder problems or needing shoulder surgery.

Dr. Dietzel performed a routine surgery a few years ago on a close relative that devastated his life. The surgery had to be reversed, but even after the second surgery he was permanently maimed by Dr. Dietzel's errors. The doctors who reversed the surgery could not believe the level of incompetence shown and the damage that Dr. Dietzel inflicted. He would have been far better off with no surgery at all. Further, he was initially nonresponsive and defensive to complaints.
