Dr. Ketz has shown great concern for my injury from my first visit. He performed a surgery on my foot and ankle that I was sure would never be the same. Well, Dr. Ketz did an amazing job straightening out my foot and thank God for him, I can walk again with no pain!!!

I was hesitant about using a new doctor after Dr. Oh left because I was extremely pleased with Dr. Oh's care, but Dr. Ketz has exceeded all my expectations. I have already recommended him to several friends. I couldn't be happier that he is my doctor. He's the very best...please keep him here in Rochester!

My initial injury is healing well but caused other parts of my body to hurt as it compensated for the injury. I felt as though this was brushed off as if it was less important.

Very talented surgeon. A good body engineer. Always appears to be in a hurry. Perhaps it would be helpful if he would take time to read the patient-stop, listen, hear.

He was abrupt during the visit. Would have liked to hear more explanation about the x-rays. I became anxious due to the short abruptness of the provider.

Dr. Ketz was very "blase" about my problem. [...] He showed me the plantaar fasciitis on the xray. [...] I did not get an opportunity to ask questions.
