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 met the doctor two months before surgery. We went over everything and I had a lot of questions which he graciously answered. He said there was no rush. This past July 9th, I had surgery. He saw me while the nurses prepped me for surgery. I had a few more questions and he answered. He said my surgery was one of the toughest he's had but that he handled it. I had scar tissue from my prostatectomy nine years ago, adhered to my small intestines. He was finally able to remove it. He did a wonderful job!

Two members of our family have had hernia repairs done by Dr. Dietzenbach and in both situations he was attentive, punctual, knowledgeable, and patient during pre-op and post-op appointments. He was extremely confident and proficient and the repairs and recovery went perfectly. Couldn't have asked for anything more.

I have had Dr. Dietzenbach perform 2 core biopsies and 2 lumpectomies in the last 6 months. I would not recommend any other surgeon to my friends or family! He is an absolute joy to work with answering my questions, keeping me calm and discussing the options that I have available. IF, I have to have any additional surgeries for anything I will be my #1 choice.
