Dr. David Charles Ritzow, MD

Dr Ritzow is quiet and unassuming. He gets to the point and it’s solution. I like his manor. He has been my Dr for years.

Always appreciate his thoroughness about the situation and the options available; never pushes surgery and is patient when difficult decisions are needed to be made.

Dr. Ritzow is the best! He takes his time, answers all my questions, has a very calm demeanor and shows that he truly cares. I have had a hip replacement, several injections and will have a knee replacement this summer. Surgery is always his last option. He never pushes it on you. He tries other avenues first. He waits for you to say that you are ready. I highly recommend him for any of your orthopedic needs!

Outstanding doctor! Extremely knowledgeable and personable. Would highly recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Ritzow is a wonderful doctor as well as his staff. He has always been thorough, patient and concerning.

DR Ritzow is a skilled surgeon I truly appreciated his extremely focused attention to the procedure performed on me. He has my extreme respect trust and positive recommendation to anyone considering surgery with him. His APNP Kim Willison is a kind caring person that goes above and beyond even reaching out after office hours really appreciated! My surgery was a left hip replacement. This was a long process, because I had an afib problem that had to be tended to first. The day of surgery was getting up early and a long drive. But I was prepared the health care group at OSI discussed everything that the surgery would entail. Even calling me back when I had a question making sure that I understood. The day of surgery of course is apprehensive but from the receptionist my prep nurse, the anesthesiologist the doctor everyone was professional and reassuring that helped relieve a possible stressful situation ahead. The recovery room was great everyone was very attentive to any need or question that I had. My only concern is I would have liked to have stayed overnight at the recovery inn. It was stressful for my caregiver getting me to our prearranged destination so late in the day. I appreciated the follow up phone calls , the text messages, the guidance by the doctor and his staff, it all helped me to stay the course with a positive attitude. Therapy diligence follow up and a good attitude will help me achieve my pre surgical goals! Thank you Doctor Ritzow, Thank you team OSI your professionalism exceeded all of my expectations!

Dr. Ritzow is a patient, friendly, conscientious doctor, who answered my questions and concerns thoroughly so I understood it all. He complimented me on the condition of my 76 year old hips (no surgery needed, whew!) but acknowledged that further investigation would be needed to get to the root of my pain, saying he'd make a referral for a neurologist as SOMEthing wasn't right in an area out of his field of expertise. He is an absolutely wonderful surgeon, too, as he'd operated on my hubby twice in the past (hip and knee replacements).

Dr. Ritzow, Kim W. and their team are the most compassionate, thorough, passionate about their patient’s overall health that you could ever experience in heath care. Dr. Ritzier and his team performed a 3-1/2 hour surgery on my crushed right-handed wrist; only compassionate doctors such as Dr. Ritzow would take that much time to make it perfect again! I have been a patient of his for 20 plus years; I am forever appreciative for all the care the team has provided for me and my family.

I am 2 years post tkr and couldn't be happier! Thanks to Dr Ritzow and his team.

Excellent Doctor and wonderful staff.

Dr Ritzow did elbow surgery on my 92 yr old Mom in 2014. Had to put in 2 plates. She has excellent use of elbow & no pain! Great job

Poor care and errors made from beginning to end, including no diagnosis for increased pain 8 weeks post surgery. A second opinion did further testing and reveled a dianosis that resulted much additional treatment.
