I cannot recommend this doctor. It has been over a year since he performed surgery on my shoulder, and I still have pain and lack of full use. I also have limited use of my hand on surgery side. He rushed my decision for surgery and does not return calls. Nice man, but I did not get much help from surgery at all. He is very prone to over-prescribing pills instead of offering solutions after surgery.

I would highly recommend Dr. Houtz. He done shoulder surgery on me. Doctor Houz would answer all questions to were you understood. He also done surgery on my mother from a broken wrist twice. I really think very highly of Doctor Houtz!

This was my first visit, he had great bedside manner, took time to hear my complant and he took time to check my symptons. He did not rush to leave out. Has not made afinal diagnois yet, has a test to run and he also has me going to see another Dr. Was very please on my first vist. Will see how it goes after all tests are in.
