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 have been a patient for over 20 years, from Carpel Tnnel surgery to knee replacement surgery. He is very good at what he does and he makes sure I am well informed on any procedure I have done. I plan on being his patient now and in the future.

Wonderful orthopedic physician! Did one carpal tunnel, then did the other wrist, did knee surgery and all turned out fantastic! Would recommend Dr. Fritz to everyone, especially individuals who have a fear of surgeons because he is fantastic! Will be going to him when the hip needs replaced! Can't brag enough about his skill!

I just went through a partial knee replacement. From start to finish, Dr. Fritz, his staff and the entire team at Marion General Hospital were very professional, thorough, caring and informative. I initially thought it would be an extremely stressful experience. Dr. Fritz and his team relieved that stress through open and detailed communication. At age 63, I am recovering quite nicely and looking forward to having Dr. Fritz take a look at my other knee. I highly recommend Dr. Fritz.

I saw him for two years because my shoulder hurt and I wasn't even able to pull a blanket over myself! He said I had arthritis and kept giving me shots. My mom finally talked me into seeking a second opinion and two weeks after seeing the new dr I had bone spurs, labrum tear, bicep put into correct place and my bursa sac repositioned. And guess what that dr said, not one bit of arthritis in that shoulder! Just pass him up and move to someone better!!!

I seen after a knee injury that the er doctor said he was positive I ruptured my pcl. My visit went like this while it maybe, could be that but I am not sure. He refused to do the test that was needed for a better diagnose and refused to order the mri, his plan wait another 6 to 8 weeks. If not better than come back. No thank you, I will be seeking a second opinion. I would not recommend him to anyone not even my worst enemy.
