Horrible about getting back to you in a timely manner and doesn’t develop a ‘relationship’ with you. I feel like he just herds you in and out like cattle. I have been seeing him, often, for about a year. And he doesn’t know me at all. He actually walked away while I was talking to him. He doesn’t listen to your concerns.

I've had lumbar injections from Dr. Puttlitz several times in the past and I'm always impressed with the efficiency of the office, the friendly atmosphere and professional feel of the office. Dr. Puttlitz makes me feel comfortable, he explains each and every part of the procedure and I walk away feeling better.
