Condescending, gaslighting, and doesn't listen. If you have an option to see another doctor, do it. This guy borders on abusive. Really Zero rating but not able to give that

If there was a 0 star option he would for sure be getting that. I went to him for a workers comp injury and unless it’s broken he does NOT care. This is the second time my job has referred me to him. NEVER AGAIN will I go back. He looks at only and X-ray and that’s it for me when I knew myself that clearly nothing was broken…He tells you that you’re fine disregards any pain or discomfort or any acknowledgment for you concerns. His residents attitudes are also ridiculously negligent. They only care about you getting in and out. Not a caring environment at all. I will be headed back to work on an injury I have not been appropriately treated for. Don’t waste your time with him. Truly a disappointment and shocked by the negligence.

Honestly a god-send. I’m a professional piano player and Dr. Goitz did Carpal Tunnel Release surgery on both of my hands. The surgeries were flawless and I was playing a week after. The numbness and pain that had bothered me for several years immediately went away after the surgery. I won’t trust anyone other than him with my hands. He’s the absolute best.

Said very little, very stoic, I had to ask for a shot and brace, needed surgery 2 months later, he explained nothing! Found out more from the internet and the PT I saw about my condition. To think he is head of the department......

Dr. Goitz did my carpal tunnel surgery several years back and also did my husband's shoulder surgery. He is a wonderful doctor. Very caring and not a long wait time to get procedure done. Main concern is to get you feeling better quick so you can get on to a pain free life. That is why now that my shoulder is bothering me I didn't hesitate to make an appointment with him.

Dr. Goitz was prompt, professional, and compassionate. We received x-rays, diagnosis, and corrective treatment in one visit. He is without a doubt "top notch."

Dr. Goitz is a wonderful surgeon. He allows me to make decisions with him. He doesn't just dictate. He is compassionate and caring. The surgery he did on my finger was perfect. I am seeing him for the same problem on another finger. Very smart Doctor. I would not go to any other Orthopedic Surgeon.
