Dr. Brettholz is an excellent Doctor and I would recommend him to all my family and friends. Professional and friendly, he helped put me at ease when I felt anxious about having my first colonoscopy. Procedure was easy, efficient and painless. 5 stars, highly recommended!

Was referred to him by my internist when my liver enzyme levels were high. He is the most caring and personable doctor I've ever been to. He is knowledgeable and and explores all possibilities.

By far the worst doctor and staff I have ever had to deal with. He misdiagnosed me with a serious disease and refused to believe that my medication was making me worse. His staff read me test results incorrectly, I later found out the staff is not qualified to read the results. I would call about three times without a call back, even in emergency situations. Finally, when I brought this up to dr. Brettholz he said that I am not his most important patient because he has patients that are dying and I am merely suffering from what he believed to be colitis with severe pain. Oh, and he Told me my diagnosis over the phone, explained that my medication had NO side effects (very wrong) and would not answer my questions because he didn't want the phone call to last too long. I can keep going, please don't risk your health by trusting this doctor or his staff.

I had been a happy patient of Dr. Brettholz for two years up until a serious emergency last week. I had been in the ER twice for severe abdominal pain ...

Dr. Brettholz is a very capable and knowledgable doctor. He listens and is pleasant to talk to. His staff, however, is overworked and unable to cope with what are sometimes basic problems. His secretary is very nice though. It takes forever to get in touch with anyone, and he was over an hour late for my last appointment (although he did apologize).
