Prompt. Explained what to look for going forward. Made sure to let me know I could call his office if I had any issues.

Jeanne Marino Mar 16 2024

Review for Dr. Fritch

Doctor listens well, explains the condition and the treatment alternatives well and provides prompt care. I do not mind when he is running a little behind because I know that I will be treated with the same thoroughness when he sees me.

Review for Dr. Stefanski

Dr Fritch did a great job repairing a retorn hip flexor while being transparent on progress expectations all through the process. He has tremendous patient care instincts and he and his staff were quick to respond to messages or questions.

Review for Dr. Fritch

Dr. Wissel has turned my entire life around. After years of pain and surgeons turning my away I found Dr. Wissel and he took pride in what he does and gave me my life back! I went from not being able to lift my arm without it dislocating to being able to pick up my children again and play with them...

K. Frank Mar 16 2024

Review for Dr. Wissel

My first visit was great with Dr. Stefanski! He was very professional and had excellent bedside manners. I received a cortisone shot in my knee. He knew I was nervous, but I hadn't realized he had given me the injection because it realy went smooth. I'm very satisfied with him and his staff!
