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.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Ditzler?
Nurse practitioner wrote instructions on a paper towel, asked me to call in for a prescription during a visit instead of writing it while I was in the office, never put this in the medical records, then changed my medical records to cover up the mistake. Doctor refused to return my call to ask him about the error then, after many years as his patient and NO problems on any kind, he dismissed me.

Dr. Ditzler is a very good doctor. He takes the time to listen and he show that he cares I've been going to him for a long time. He go beyond measure to see what maybe cause the problem you're having. The staff is great.
