Needs to retire. Changes his mind and blames others. All positive reviews are from his "personal helpers" which is code for girlfriends. Total douche bag and will not ever go back to him again. There are younger and better doctors than this old hack.

If I could put less than one star I would. Perfunctory exam. Evaded questions. Refused to look at surgical report of prior surgery I had brought. Came in with a student and felt I like he grandstanded for him. I had to go to someone else. Just sorry my insurance had to pay for this.

Dr Nitz explained what the situation was with my knee and how I would treat the arthritis that is causing me so much pain. His staff was very courteous as well.

Dr Nitz is a professional, compassionate and knowledgeable health care provider. Dr Nitz repaired my right rotator cuff in 2016. I recovered with the help of his physical therapy team and returned to work as a Registered Nurse in five weeks. Dr Nitz makes you feel like you are his only patient. He does not bring a computer into the exam rooms during assessments but looks at you and listens to your symptoms. He allowed me time to ask questions and clearly explained procedures, potential side effects, and risks. I recently sustained an injury to my left shoulder (torn rotator cuff) and have returned to Dr Nitz for medical care.
