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.

Always patient and takes time to ask many questions to make the best determination for care. A wonderful person

Dr Hetzel is not only a very good doctor he is more like a good friend as well. His general manner and politeness towards you gives you lots of confidence in what he is discussing with you and he has been a wonderful inspiration not only to me but all the family as well. Thank you Sir.

My family and I have used Dr Hetzel for years. He is an excellent doctor. He always spends the time necessary to take care of our health issues and explains everything fully.

Have had this doctor for 15 years. From embarrassing issues to common ones. Not once did I feel awkward or judged. I was explained in detail what issues I was having and treatments or he reffered me to a specialist who could treat me further if it was beyond his knowledge. Great doctor and a great practice.

felt judged when I went in for an std test after repeatedly asking me why I wanted the test (it shouldnt matter in the first place), told him I'd slept with an ex in the past he respond "yeah you shouldn't do that" I came in to have my blood tested, not for his relationship advice he also made it seem like I should only worry about getting tested if I felt like I was showing signs of an std, which is really bad advice because a lot of them can lie dormant in your body unprofessional

I feel like he informed me about my condition but did not offer any treatment other than an xray. My condition is ongoing but the Doctor does not see it as chronic. I need a physician that sees the whole picture and can give me relief with meds or follow up care.
