Very professional and a pleasure to be a patient!
Dr. Hiratzka is kind and listens to what I was saying instead of already having an answer to my problem. He gave me multiple options with potential outcomes so I could make an informed decision. He made time to address any concerns and was available for any further questions. I am extremely grateful for him and the surgery was a success. I no longer live in debilitating pain and look forward to living life again! There are no words to express my gratitude for what he has done for me and my family. Thank you Dr. Hiratzka!😊
