Patient Reviews
Dec 09, 2021
Dr. Hetzler is clearly knowledgeable and skilled and passionate about his work. His care for his patient is manifest in the way he explains complex issues in comprehensible ways, answers questions directly, and respects his patient’s choices. He has a great sense of humor and a warmth that left me feeling relaxed and confident that I was in the right hands. The surgery went beautifully. I sailed through recovery. No complications, but I was confident in Dr. Hetzler’s availability had I run into post-op problems, He’s the best.
