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.

Very professional and knowledgeable

Dr. Renz Listens
I didn’t feel rushed, as Dr. Renz listened to and addressed all of my concerns. I am grateful that I was able to get an appointment with this doctor, as I heard he is a very busy man. I’m glad he is a DO and takes a more conservative approach, rather than suggesting surgery right away. I received an injection and physical therapy for my hip issues.

Excellent Doctor! Very reassuring
I was in a great deal of pain in my knee.My Primary care Doctor called Dr. Renz & I was seen that evening!! I had xrays taken by their staff (excellent folks!!) I have many health issues, which make me a Surgery risk. Instead of trying to talk me into another surgery, he pulled out a long syringe (after he explained what he was going to do.) I panicked not wanting a long needle. He just told me ~ with a smile ~ to go to my Happy Place.... (the beach!) He injected my knee w a steroid of sorts. (While I was at the beach, my happy place!) He was finished in a second & explained that it would take a couple of days to take effect. He is such a kind, patient man. I would highly recommend him to anyone I know with an Orthopedic problem!! God bless him & his staff!!

Review for Dr. Renz
I'm experiencing severe pain in my right hip, yes hip replacement coming. Dr. Renz explained everything to me about this surgery to include possible complications and time off from work. Hearing a doctor go into this is really assuring for me, my family and my job with scheduling time off.

Great Orthopedic Surgeon
Dr. Renz has been my orthopedic doctor since 2013 when I had a hip replaced. Then in 2015, he replaced both knees. Recently I went for a back problem which he solved with some physical therapy. Always happy to answer any questions and explain everything.

Couldn't be more satisfied
Dr. Renz listens, requests appropriate tests, assesses results, and, in my case, scheduled surgery as soon as possible due to the bone deterioration evidenced. I was extremely impressed by the thoroughness of pre- and post- surgical instructions to be strictly followed.
