    It was the first opportunity I had to meet with Dr. Fitz and he just allayed any of my concerns and I feel like I've made a fabulous choice in having him as my doctor to replace my knee.

    Dr. Fitz is quite likely an excellent surgeon, but his patient respect and care (AKA 'bedside manner') is terrible. He had no interest in listening to me and the few times I got to speak I had to interrupt. [redacted]

    Dr Wolfgang Fitz is an incredible doctor. He explained everything that he saw in my X-rays in a way I could inderstand and gave me information on things I can do moving forward to help strengthen my knee with exercise and diet. It was a very comprehensive appointment, the best care I've received regarding my knee health.

    Dr. Wolfgang was unbelievable. I went from seeing a doctor in my area, from that doctor telling me I want to make probably 65 without having a knee replacement, to seeing Dr. Wolfgang and him telling me stay away from gel shots, basically lose a little more weight, introduce an exercise bike, and I don't see any need to have surgery anytime soon. What a relief that was. He was unbelievable, and I would recommend him to anyone.

    I have already recommended Dr. Fitz to at least 20 people for TKR. They, and I, were and are very pleased with Dr. Fitz and his staff. He is an expert in what he does, in addition to being very kind and respectful. I always leave his office feeling more confident, and that my needs will be met.

    Dr Fitz was excellent. We discuss knee replacement. He explained and answered any questions I had.

  • Reviewed on 8/11/2025

    Dr Fitz palpated my knees and read Xray reports, explaining the wear and tear factor of plastics . He was specific to his operative results. I still am concerned about the progressive angling out of my right lower leg in the 11 years since that knee replacement on a prior straight leg and the fact that there was so much pain as he pressed on that inner knee's soft tissue at this visit. Respectfully, I do not feel that the doctor's "Yoga" suggestion as a mind-to-body balance remedy will not work but shall also see a podiatrist as the doctor recommended in answer to my question regarding pronation. My regards to Dr. Fitz.
