Friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Fast procedure with with minimal pain .
I found him to be unhelpful in many regards, he has left me in pain with absolutely nowhere to turn. I’ve felt unheard, disbelieved, and abandoned. I’ve been in quite a bit of pain, several sleepless nights, and my GI doctor has forbidden NSAIDs and basically he has said “too bad” and left me up a creek.
He is very thorough. Addressed all my concerns with a great treatment plan. I knew every step to take with his guidance. He provides excellent education on what to expect. He called my name from the waiting room and walked me out. Wonderfully personable and great bedside manner.
Dr. Puttlitz knows his business very well. He always has time to address my concerns and to listen to me about my condition.
I’ve been going to Dr. Puttlitz for quite a few years now. He listens to my concerns and finds the best treatment options for me. He also performs my coudal injections and they typically last 2-3 years.
Very good what he's doing, makes his patient comfortable and is good at his job. He is very polite and makes sure you know what he is going to do.
Over the past year his attention and concern for my back problems has been over the top. Genuine concern for the patient has always been his mantra.
I went to several Dr's how said they were specialists. Nott! They just want to give me pain medication. Dr. Puttlitz came up with a plan to help me with out pain medication. He is my back Dr. For life now. Thank you Dr.!
Very professional. Was very thorough and yet quick. We were in and out in only a few minutes.Although he took time to answer any questions I might have.
