Patient Reviews
Sep 15, 2025
Dr. Debritz fixed my wrist in 2025. He is smart, kind, funny, quick-witted, and very compassionate and supportive towards his patients and their families. For example, he came out to see my husband after my surgery to let him know how it went. In addition, I had a horrible experience with a medical professional as a child, so I avoid doctors. But Debritz is trauma-informed, and it shows in how he approaches his patients. I wish I had been honest with him about my prior bad experience at the beginning, because he was amazing to my husband and me without even knowing my story- and I bet he would have been even more supportive if he had known.Bottom line: If you or someone you know needs a great doctor- especially one who is trauma-informed because you or your loved one has suffered trauma, including an accident, war, or domestic or sexual abuse, I strongly recommend Dr. Debritz.
