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.

ACL-PCL reconstruction
Dr Hritz repaired my acutely torn ACL and did some PCL repair in 1986. My primary rehab , on the doctors post surgical suggestion, eventually became ice skating as a ref and hockey coach… where I participated for over 25 years! I’m still a single digit handicap golfer also. Only minimal knee aggravation in the last couple years after extensive athletic competition, coaching and hobbies. Enough said? Thanks Doc!
