Dr. Ulrich checked my knee and reviewed my chart for PT progress and explained everything to me. He and the staff are always pleasant and easy to work with.

Short wait time even though I arrived at least a half-hour early. Dr. Ulrich was gracious enough to answer my off-topic question I sprung on him at the get-go. His explanation was straightforward and easily understood. I look forward to seeing him again.

Dr. Ulrich went above & beyond seeing me today with no appointment! I was in a lot of pain & he didn’t hesitate to see me. I have seen him before & he listens to you & gives you all the time you need answering all of your questions. I really appreciate him as my hip Doctor. I give him a 12, not a 10! Thank u Sir!

Dr. Ulrich is wonderful. He's a down-to-earth ortho physician. He listens to what you have to say & explains the medical problem to you very clearly, so you understand your diagnosis & he explains what he can do to help you. Wait time was very minimal & I understand he is always on time. Thank you.

Another great visit with Dr. Ulrich. He is always on time and has a definitive plan of treatment and very thorough follow up visits. He listens well. Headed into my third orthopedic surgery (hip replacement, torn meniscus, and now right knee replacement) by Dr. Ulrich, I feel confident of great results again.
