Dr. Hoblitzel has been seeing me a few years for back, knee, and hip pain. He is professional as he listens to my concerns. Cortisone shots help me greatly. The cortisone shot in my right given yesterday, December 4, 2024, has already taken effect and I am able to move about pain free. Thank you, Dr. Hoblitzel!

After registering and x-rays I walked down the hall and told them I was done with X-rays, they took me right back. After both of us looked at the X-rays, beings the right knee was bone on bone I decided to go ahead and get a knee replacement. He set up an appointment with one of his associates. He's a really nice Dr and listens to what you say.

The OrthoCincy team got me right in the next day. The pain would have kept me up for days. They were professional and attentive, gave me the shot I needed for back pain and offered further treatment should I need any. Doc H. was professional and to the point. Glad to know hes there. OrthoCincy also did my knee replacement 10 years ago and Im going strong. Thank you Doc. Hoblitzell!! Rob

I really liked Dr. Hoblitzell. He has a good bedside manner. He discussed with me what he was going to do and set me up with another Dr. to look at my ankle. I highly recommend Dr. Hoblitzell.

Doc Hoblitzell is very knowledgeable and very effective in his duties. He has helped me more than he knows. I have severe arthritis in my right hip and almost bone on bone. He gave me multiple options and never once forced anything. He’s a great doctor and I highly recommend him! We have a long road ahead of us but I know I’m in good hands and he will do all the right things until surgery is inevitable.
