Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Outstanding Diagnosis and Treatment
Dr. Dietrich reviewed my elderly father’s condition carefully, helped us understand what was causing the difficulties, and guided us in making the best choices in treatment options. He was kind, gentle, and treated my father with great respect. I am grateful for his competence and care.

Someone else messed up my R hand while the wait ti
While the wait times are often long, staff are pleasant, professional, kind, and courteous.Dr. Diedrich takes time to explain, advise, and repair the damage done. Sure wish the local hospital hadn’t referred me to someone else to begin with. When it’s all healed, I’ll have lost almost a year of my life. Thank you, Dr. D.

Wonderful Doctor
Dr. Dietrich has taken care of my husband for 30years. Always confident he knew what had to be done and he could fix his issues. . Now I have a couple hand and elbow issues and he is there to make them better. Dr.Dietrich is so easy to talk to - he listens to your problems and comes up with helpful treatments. We both appreciate Dr. Dietrich so much with full confidence he will take care of us in the best way.

Great respect for Dr. Dietrich
Dr. Dietrich immediately put me at ease and gained my trust with his explanation of the x-rays of my hands. He then referred me to a Rheumatologist for further treatment. I highly recommend him.

Top notch Surgeon
All the employees I have dealt with are top notch people all the way up to Dr. Dietrich. I have a long history with him as my first hand surgeon in 1990. He put me back together then and now I’m back for an additional procedure that will fix me up for good. Can’t think of a better surgeon to perform the procedure.
