“Very confusing when I got to the office. The man there took no information from me. After 45 minutes, he had me come back to his area. He thought I was there for his chiropractic service without asking.
When the office staff showed up 30 minutes AFTER my arrival, they were very helpful and apologized for the wait.
The doctor was amazing. Listened to my explanation of my issue. He explained everything thoroughly and laid out a plan of action which I am doing. Would definitely recommend him.”

“Dr Hiltzig was great. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and informative. He treated me quickly and effectively and explained the situation very clearly.
The office was very efficient and the office staff was nice and helpful. I had almost no wait time. I walked in with on-going pain and a few minutes later, I walked out without pain and with a lot more knowledge about the condition that brought me there. ”

Dr. Hiltzik was very attentive to my problem and addressed foot issues I did not know I had that were contributing to my main concern. He spent a lot of time explaining everything and gave me his full attention. He made a plan to help fix multiple issues and I felt quite happy when I left. I was very impressed!
