I was very happy under Dr. Fritz's care. He is very caring, easy-going down to earth doctor. He lets you know exactly what is going on before and after the surgery. If I were to have another thoracic surgery, I would definitely pick Dr. Robert Fritz. Thank you Dr. Fritz

Dr. Fritz is an exceptional surgeon. Truthful and well liked by patients and hospital staff who deal with him. He's a busy surgeon, so don't expect to see him on the drop of a dime.

Dr Fritz is very smart, confident, has a very good reputation and is a down-to-earth doctor. I have complete confidence with him. He takes time to talk with you, not just to you. His office staff is awewsome. I highly recommend him for your surgical needs. He has performed two successful surgeries on me which included one for thymic cancer.

After some of the quick in and out visits with doctors lately, I was pleasantly surprised that Dr. Fritz took the time to explain the procedure I was to have and the reasons for the procedure. He actually gave me explanations that should have already been given by other health care professionals before I ever met with him. At my post surgery visit, he made sure I had no questions. All in all, he and his staff made what could have been a very unpleasant experience as pleasant as possible.

Dr. Fritz seemed smart at first.I had been told by another doctor that with my condition there is nothing anyone can do. I was completely disable. Dr. Fritz gave me the same opinion. But, as he left the room...he stated, "I'm not going telling social security that anyone is disable." Lucky for me I didn't need him. I will not forget his little giggle.
