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.

Bad timing
Horrific,rude,unprofessional, and dramatic doc through patients sometimes it didn’t always work out due to her lack of listening skills! I wouldn’t go back to that office when I am in town! I felt sorry for every patients had to put up with this impatient doctor!

I Was diagnosed with severe Carpal Tunnel & nerve damage. I saw Dr Fritz for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. For surgery anesthesia I opted for a block: arm & hand had no feeling . The experience in the operating room was great; there was music playing and complete interaction with Dr Fritz and others in the room. At one point, at my request, Dr Fritz removed the cover from me, lifted my arm and showed me what she had found. Only problem: the Anesthesiologist needs better jokes!

The people who schedule and speak to you when you call, not helpful and some are very rude. Haven’t even been in to the office yet and already want to find a new office.

Dr. Friz is one of the most caring, supportive and skilled physicians I have ever seen. She has seen 4 out of 5 of our family members and all agree with my assessment of her. I would recommend her to others without hesitation.

I have seen Dr. Fritz for two different hand issues I am extremely pleased with her ability to understand the issue(s), explain them to me and provide the medical treatments to resolve my issue(s). She was very thorough and I really felt she listened to me and understood the issue(s). I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing the type of services she provides. Beverly Fantich

I was referred to Dr. Fritz as being "excellent" by my primary physician. I am concerned that after my first appointment, I have to go four weeks before another diagnostic test, without any kind of relief or healing support. My primary dr. said she (Dr. Fritz) would at least give me a better fitting splint than the one that I bought from Walgreen's and probably some physical therapy. Nope. Nothing. The advice she gave was actually less than what I've already been doing. I don't think she listene

Amazing staff! Dr. Fritz was highly recommended by my primary care physician and I can see why! She took my concerns seriously and was very understanding when I expressed my concerns of the pain due to my age and my career. I never felt like I had to defend my case or plead with her.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Fritz. She explained everything to me from my problem to treatment to therapy. She has a great bed side manner. I felt like she truly cared and was in the right profession. I had gotten two opinions before her and I'm glad I found Dr. Fritz!

Worked on my wives carpal tunnel (both hands) did a great job explaining the procedure and has a great bedside manner. The operations went great and my wife has total relief from pain and numbness. I had a shoulder problem and she examined me and was able to fix the problem without surgery and a simple shot.
