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. Fritz handled my medical problem efficiently and with expertise. I know he is a very busy and respected physician, but he consistently handles difficult medical situations with a compassionate, empathetic manner. He is very dedicated and highly proficient.i feel very lucky to have him as my PCP.

Ideal physician
When Dr Fritz saw my husband for the first time he was thorough and empathetic. At every interaction he listened carefully, empathized, and clearly communicated findings and treatment plan. We are looking for an Internist and wish we could find one as excellent clinically and professionally as Dr Fritz. He considers the patient’s perspective in all his communications.

Thank you!

I have a”friend”who is currently under Dr.Fritz’s care. He is, truly,”one in a million”when it comes to the paragon and paradigm of excellence to which he embodies. His Empathy, genuine kindness,knowledge,and professionalism are nonpareil. There is not a hint of arrogance or veneer when it comes to his”Character”. I’m a Poet(for whatever that’s worth)and was transfixed by his “utter Humanity”. He deserves the very highest accolades. And sets”the Standard”for all Doctor’s on the scene. My pleasure to say so.

Dr Fritz is very caring and nice. He explains everything and answers all your questions. Due to the virus, rather than office visits he called me after office hours and even called on Sundays evenings. I highly recommend Dr Fritz.

The office staff were friendly and efficient. I didn't have to wait long to see Dr. Fritz. Once he came into the room he was extremely professional, informative, and made certain I understood and felt comfortable. I appreciate how patient, thorough, and comprehensive he was. My trust level with him is through the roof.

Saved my life due to his excellence and diligence! Not just good but he is the rare exception in today's busy world of healthcare. His attention and concern for his patients caught a problem I had that could and most likely would have taken my life. I will be in his debt the rest of my life-------------------

Dr. Jos. Fritz was the very best doctor I have ever been to....besides Dr. Andrew Youkilis. Dr. Fritz has so much compassion and knows what he is doing. He is so down to earth and friendly and always has a smile on his face. He knew which medicine was the best for my condition and it cleared it up. I would highly recommend Dr. Joseph Fritz! He is the best!!!

Dr. Fritz is a smart caring young man who works very hard to give his patients the best care he can deliver. He makes himself available to his patients and gives his honest opinion. He works hard to give you direction to the best possible wellness.
