Patient verified via Press Ganey

Dr. Pritza is probably my all-time favorite physician, and I'm 67 so that's saying something! He has a great "bed-side manner"! He never makes you feel rushed, listens carefully to your concerns (I'd experienced some pretty low blood pressure on a few occasions), and asks very good questions. He also gave me a number of things to watch out for and direction to call him If they occurred.

Overall Rating: 5.0 2024-09-13

Patient verified via Press Ganey

Dr. Pritza is excellent. He has such an easy manner with patients - very straight forward and sincere. He does a great job of explaining complicated issues in a way that is easily understood. He is clear and direct about diagnoses and treatment. We trust him.
