Valley Orthopedic Clinic

I was very pleased with the care I received from Dr Ritzow today and would go back to him for anything anytime. I had surgery by him years ago and it went very well 10-4-20

Had a appointment today with Dr. Ritzow today and I was not impressed. I waited an hour in the room and had to go look for someone because they forgot about me. He came in and never apologized sat down and basically told me I wasn’t a good candidate for hip replacement surgery because I was to over...

Most professional staff ever! My total ankle replacement was not an easy case and he kept my pain control where it needed to be to be comfortable after surgery. He listens to the patient!

Short, not so sweet, and missed the Boat. I have been in hip pain since July 23, 2019. I was examined by the doctor, if you want to call it that, and had an MRI done of my hip. Results, I was told that I wasn't a candidate for surgery so go see if someone else can help you. Fast forward 4 months...

Dr. Ritzow replaced both my knees. One done in 2007, and the other in 2009. I can tell that I have never been more pleased with the results. He did the surgery when other doctors said no. To him it was about the quality of my life. He was caring and showed great compassion in my condition. He...

Very poor

I agree with others, although Dr Ritzow is skilled he has developed a God Syndrome over the years. He sets unrealistic post-op requirements that cannot be met due to join pain that limits activities. Also there is no follow up after appointments despite the commitment to do so. He forces patients to...

Would never go back to or recommend this surgeon or this so called "state of the art" orthopedic facility. From beginning to end, my experience was riddled with poor care and errors. I was not provided with any home assistancce, equipment, or offered to use their recovery facility (until a week...

I have never felt more confident in a surgeon before. He is upfront and honest. His goal is to do his absolute best every time. He is dedicated to helping his patients achieve success. I can not say enough wonderful things about Doctor Springer, he is an excellent surgeon. For the first time in many...

I wouldn't wish this "doctor" on my worst enemy. He has absolutely no sense of urgency for his patients and would rather let them suffer for months on end before taking any action. Scheduling is also a nightmare, as getting in takes months. Once he finally sees you, he uses common sense just to push...

I have been a patient of Dr. Ritzow for about 10 years. he has performed 6 surgeries on me, one of which was to fix a rotator cuff repair that another surgeon botched. The only negative I have is the wait time. Everything else is positive -- Dr. Ritzow, Kim his APNP, Liz his medical assistant, the...

Would never recomment Dr. Ritzow. He is arrogant, rude and every appointment I had at least a 20-30 minute wait once I was in the exam room not including waiting room They double booked and have two patients booked for the same time slot. In my opinion he does not care.

I am so glad my primary Doctor referred me to Dr. Kuplic. His initial exam of my knees was thorough and well explained to me. Discussion of treatment options was concise. I Knew before meeting with him that I needed a total knee replacement. His exam and X-rays confirmed this. He is the only MD...

Not a expert in Shoulder Replacements, wasn't interested about my occupational disease and how my job as a mail carrier aggravated my shoulder osteoarthritis every day!

I felt very comfortable with him right away. He seemed very knowledgable and took the time to answer all my questions. After multiple foot issues, I am finally getting better with the proper diagnosis. His staff was wonderful and extremely informative as well. Very pleased and would highly recommend...

I did not feel that Dr. Derksen gave me a thorough examine and as a result, I was diagnosed improperly. I'm very glad that I went to get a second opinion with a doctor who took the time to access my feet and help me with my symptoms.
