Patient Reviews
Aug 14, 2025
Dr. Kretzer was my surgeon for extensive back surgery. I went from excruciating pan to no pain. I couldn't be more impressed. My stay at St. Joseph's was as pleasant as a hospital stay could be. I would recommend Dr. Kretzer highly.
Jan 20, 2025
My husband and I both had spinal surgery by Dr Ryan Kretzer and we both were extremely please with his competence, surgical skills, bedside manner, and his office staff. He explained things very well and always asked if we had any questions for him. I was especially happy I could speak to his office staff when I called instead of an answering service. We’re so grateful he was able to schedule our surgeries so quickly. A++
