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.

Dr Sitzman has been helping with my pain control since 2014. He is amazing! He has always been willing to go above and beyond in order to help manage my pain. Recently I had a successful spinal cord stimulator trial. I am praying permanent placement can be done soon! Love him! I know you don't know me, but if you did, you would absolutely KNOW that I don't stay with doctors who do not impress me!

Dr Sitzman has been helping me when all other doctors had given up on me. He is compassionate and truly cares about his patients. He is willing to go above and beyond the areas where other physicians refer you to someone else to keep from stepping out of their daily comfort zone. Highly recommend him to anyone that wants real help.

I have been seeing Dr. Sitzman for about the past 8 yrs or so & I must say that he is one of the most compassionate & caring Drs I know & I've seen many! He is always there for you, to help in any way possible & he will come in early or stay late or DO his level best to squeeze you IN to see you! He's always done everything he possibly can to give ME the best care available & IF IT weren't for him I JUST don't know what would have happened with me & my back problems! And I JUST can't say enough about his nurses & admin staff, they are always SO sweet & kind & friendly towards me & always eager to help IN my comfort wellbeing. Dr. Sitzman & his team are absolutely one of the most professional offices I've been affiliated with! Thank you Dr Sitzman for being there for ME & thank you to the nurses & admin staff also! You NEVER know what you mean to ME! Thank you ALL for your dedication to the medical field! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

Unable to cross either leg. Or lift either foot to a footrest. Hip region pain untenable. Needed help chair to bed. Lumbar inj results in no hint of pain. Any tingles or burning meets with a quick rebuke. Please retain us Dr as we can't imagine life w out you. By that I mean Quality of Life " thank you for helping me. Your skills negated my need for a wheelchair.

I have been a patient of Dr. Sitzman's for over 10 years and have always experienced the utmost professional care from him and his staff. His understanding and explanation of my diagnosis paired with his willingness to listen to my input have helped to always make the best treatment options available to me for my pain management. He always listens to me and I am an active participant in my treatment plan and overall health care. I would highly recommend Dr. Sitzman and the staff at Advanced Pain Therapy.

In Search of Finding Pain Relief In depth information was given to me by Dr. Sitzman concerning what was being done to me and why. He looks back at my past procedures to better understand what needs to be done in future. I would recommend him to others.

He has given me relief from my pain when no one else has. He listens to me and addresses my pain and believes me. Dr. Sitzman treats me like a person not just another patient. I believe in him and his opinions of my situation. I thank GOD daily for him, he has truly been a blessing to me and my family.
