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.

Knee pain of rt knee
Dr Habetz performed rt. Knee surg in 2014. Surg and recovery was great with no complications and little pain. I was having knee pain for couple of months that was getting better until I stepped into a hole in yard and whole foot sunk into hole. I finally went for ck up. Xrays taken and nothing was out of place. It showed that I had patellar tendinitis that didn't require surgery. Dr Habetz said exercises was solution and would take a while to mend. Knee is feeling better and will return to office for follow-up appt. Dr Habetz is the best. He's knowledgeable, explains everything, compassionate and only a phone call away for any concerns you have. He is an asset to the clinic and has good bed side manners. Highly recommend him. Thank you.

Shoulder Surgery
I cannot even begin to describe how great this experience was from beginning to end. Dr. Habetz is professional in every way, but also treats you on a personal level that makes you feel comfortable and that he truly cares about your wellbeing. He took a fully torn rotator cuff, a bicep tendon tear, and an AC joint issue and repaired it to perfection. I’m 5 months post surgery and I saw him for the last time yesterday as my recovery is going extremely well. I would highly recommend him to everyone.

Knee problem
Minimal waiting time in spite of having to fill out new patient forms and get xrayed. Dr Habaetz was congenial, asked questions and LISTENED and took his time explaining the problem and recommendations and treatment. Received a painfree cortisone injection to the knee! Although I am just visiting the area from out of state, I would certainly return to him if need be.

No surgery!
No surgery needed is not what you expect to hear from a surgeon. But the tendonitis in my right shoulder doesn't need it . Just a cortisone shot and physical therapy. Thanks!

He listens and understands well enough to teach.
He took the time on multiple occasions to sit and talk with me, he understood what I had to say and was willing to answer every question. I’m still healing so I’m full of question and concerns, but because of his knowledge he shares, I’m healing with confidence. He has great patience also, due to pain I get on edge unknowingly sometimes, and he rode the waves with me. Trust him and let Doc do his thing. The staff was and is always helpful. Just stay positive and trust the process. God Bless

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
I was very pleased with my visit and his diagnosis of my problem was explained to me fully. He took time to make sure I understood everything and was very attentive to my questions and concerns. I left there feeling with a sense of relief because I was stressed and worried that I wasn’t going to get the proper care and attention that I needed to calm my anxiety.

Highly recommend
Dr. Habetz , did an excellent job with repairing my knee about 5 years ago, and now I am back, due to shoulder surgery. He has the best bedside manner and he patiently explains everything regarding your procedure and what to expect. Dr. Habetz was always available to speak with me after my surgery to ensure I had everything that I needed. Truly one of the best!
