He is the laziest Dr. ever. He has never once, ever listened to my heart or my lungs, never felt my glands or looked in my mouth. Zero physical contact. He doesn't even do the bare minimum. Every visit is a total waste of time.

This man does not care about patients! He runs the VA clinic and must be getting huge kickbacks because none of the patients are getting any care!

Dr. Bretz is personable and professional. He has relieved me of pain that have suffered with for a very long time. The staff is friendly and helpful. He is the Chiropractor for my family. I highly recommend him.

I have been going to the Va for 16 years and have never been treated so bad by any other doctor as I was by this doctor. He is the coldest doctor I have ever met. He treated me like I was a drug addict off the street. I am 70 years old and have Parkinson's disease, when I tried to tell him that I had started on medical marijuana for my symptoms which was suggested that I start by my neurologist he didn't even look at me and started to read a law and started with, I Am A Federal Employee and that he was going to change my medication. I was crying and when my husband and I was leaving he told us to have a nice day. He was like a robot. I will not be returning to the Va again.
