The guy is a joke plain and simple, he hates workers comp situations. Constantly talked about my age (42) as if I deserved the pain I was experiencing and offered no solutions. I’ll never recommend him!

Just felt I wasn't a priority. Sent for my MRI, have to wait 2 weeks for an appointment with him as he is going on vacation. Kept mentioning my age in reference to my injury. Don't really know what my diagnosis is! Just have pain.

We first encountered Dr. Baltz when he was recommended by a friend when we lived on Cape Cod. We met with him and was extremely impressed with his knowledge and demeanor. He operated on my rotator cuff and I am happy to say everything went extremely well, and ten years later it is as good as the day he performed the operation. We have since moved form Cape Cod and now live in Ct. I recently had a problem with the other shoulder, and would not consider seeing any other orthopedic surgeon other hen Dr, Baltz. He is worth making the 2 1/2 trip to see. He treated me with a cortisone shot, followed up by physical therapy. But, it it came to my having another surgery, he would be the only one doing the surgery regardless of the distance between us.

I have severe knee pain. Dr. Baltz's bedside manner is atrocious. I left crying. He spent 5 minutes with me, if that. No real offer of treatment except series of shots for mild arthritis. Getting a second opinion. WOULD NOT SEE HIM AGAIN OR REFER HIM TO ANYONE.

I was more than pleased with Dr. Baltzand have recommended him to my staff andindividuals who need to see an orthopedicphysician. Dr. Baltz had been highlyrecommended to me prior to my knee surgery. He was precise and right to thepoint with my diagnois and very thoroughwhen I returned for my followup appointment after my surgery.

Not very personable..I felt bullied when speaking with him. To the point, no future recommended treatment other than advice therapy..No mention of follow up. Would not go to him again.
