Great results from the surgery and Dr.Hiratzka was awesome explaining the procedure and follow up. Thank you!
Great doctor. He listens to me. He is in no rush to do surgery.
This was my first appointment and he spent a good amount of time explaining my options for treatment and I didn’t feel like he was rushing through the appointment. Also he let me know what wasn’t going to work and I feel in the past with other providers I was put through treatments that were never going to be helpful.
He gave me a clear understanding of my condition and recommended the best course of action.
Knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate.
Dr. Hiratzka is very kind, he explains things in a way you understand and fully answers any questions you have.
Was happy with my visit. Explained my concerns in a informative and professional manner.
Dr. Hiratzka - was kind, helpful and professional . . . we're so thankful to have been referred to him. He's recommending additional interventional options due to age, degree of spine issues and other medical conditions but would strongly recommend me.
He is very helpful.
Very respectful
