Dr. David Dietrich, MD

Dr. Dietrich is the best in the area and I would highly recommend anyone needing an Orthopedic Surgeon his way. I had my first hip replacement with Dr. Dietrich in 2012 and just recently in 2024 had the other one done. Both times I felt extremely comfortable in his care knowing the outcome would be good.

When I found Dr. Dietrich returned to this area, I knew he was the one to do my hip replacement surgery. He performed hips replacement on a dear friend a couple years ago. He was then, and is a professional. As is his current staff at his office Emerakd Coast Orthopedics. He performed my surgery and I was walking immediately to the bathroom and around the nurses stations. I was released from the hospital snd back to my office work in five days. That surgery was in November 12, 2020. This is February 18, 2021 and I can do anything. I even ran down my office steps, ,out across the yard to help my neighbor get her husband up off the ground. I don’t feel any pain. It has been like before I ever had a problem. I am so pleased with him and his staff I recommend him to anyone.

had him when worked at tyndall. dud numerous surgeries on me to include knee replacements. all were good. when i needed him to help me with the VA, he refused to help me. wouldn't even talk about it. i guess he got his money. to this day still upset about this.

Dr. Dietrich is the best in bay county. He did my knee n now going to to my Hip ! I trust him Fully . I’m glade he is back .Welcome back SIR . God bless you . Gabriele Long

Had Rt. Hip surgery in April 2016. Still doing well, able to continue bicycle riding at 78 yrs old. No problems going up and down stairs. I will continue referring others to his care.

Dr. Dietrich is very compassionate and understanding of ortho issues. He patiently explained knee replacement surgery to me. He did the surgery and my knees are perfect now! He did both knees...one year apart. I can walk unassisted for the first time in many years! He is fabulous!

very good

The man is the best @ what he does! His knee replacement got me back on my feet pain free so I could do things with my grandkids again. And he has done both my shoulders 4 years apart.

He won't see me because I don't have the operation report from twenty years ago! Great guy to waive off a guy in a wheelchair for something like that. My wife had to beg his staff to please ask him to see me, but he said no. No twenty year old report, no appointment. I tried for 14 days to find a report, but he did not care. What a mean man.

Dr. David Dietrich provided phenomenal care when I broke my both my tib and fib in an accident. Not only did he patch me up to full recovery, I am very grateful that he ensured I was not left depending on narcotics for pain management. I don't live in the area at this time, but I would definitely want him to be my doctor if I ever break another bone!

Dr. Dietrich is a EXCELLENT Pysician in my opinion. I have had a few steroid knee injections with him. He is the most compassionate doctor I have ever had. My husband has had several procedures with him as well & we just have have nothing but great experience with him and his staff! I will continue to recommend him to everyone needing Orthopedic care,

Saw Dr. 3 times, & x-ray tech 5 times in 3 mo, & 2 mo therapy. Insurance changes to Cigna, Dr. & therapy won't accept. No Dr. on last visit. Did my own therapy. Arm will bend 90%

Excellent surgeon. Well respected in the medical community in Panama City. A very thorough pre-op exam and complete follow up after surgery. Would return for any future surgeries. He would definitely be my first choice.

Dr. Deitrich was informative, compassionate, and skilled. His bedside manner is excellent as he genuinely cares about his patients. I had and have complete confidence in his personal and medical skills as well as a high level of commitment to recovery for each patient.
