Dr. Ritzow was on duty at the walk-in clinic on Saturday. Reviewed xrays and diagnosed and set a course of treatment, above and beyond on the Saturday after a holiday. Thx to all staff on duty. Very professional.

If I could leave zero stars I could. This man was ARROGANT & down right rude. Told me when greeting me “doesn’t sound like I can help you with much” while rolling his eyes. I was referred to you for a problem & just because my swelling is gone doesn’t mean I am useless to you. First thing out of your mouth is rude, before even asking my name. In fact, he never did ask my name or refer to me by my name. He also said “you can leave now” when ushering me out. My visit was less than a full 10 minutes. I came in for an ankle injury & he NEVER EVEN CHECKED MY RANGE OF MOTION!!!!!!!!!! Poked it twice & called it good. He spoke to me like a silly child, as if I didn’t know anything and degraded me. I have never be more appalled by a doctors behavior, one who routinely operates at that. I would not feel comfortable around him conscious let alone put under. How sad to see how down hill OSI has gone. I will never be back after this experience.

I have seen Dr Ritzo many times over the years. I have always have a excellent experience with him and his staff. They deserve my utmost respect in every way.
