Testimonials

Patient Reviews

OSI is amazing! Dr. Ritzow has done my hip replacement and will be doing a knee replacement soon. He is very kind, explains everything, is a great listener and treats you with concern. The nurses and nurse practitioners are just as good. They are very friendly and are great listeners as well. Reception is always friendly and helpful. I would recommend OSI to anyone.

-Wendy P.

I went in with knee pain. I had an X-ray prior to my visit. Dr. Ritzow was patient and took time to answer all my questions regarding the X-ray and his findings in the examination of my knee bringing up the imaging and explaining what was seen. He really cares about his patients.

-Kim L.

Dr. Ritzow is more than an exceptional doctor. He takes the time to explain everything. After my 4th different surgery he has performed I would highly recommend him and his staff.
