Waited 2 months to get in here to really not find what's going on with me no got to other six months this place I do not recommend to anyone that's a good place to go to if you want to die. The receptionist is very rude and I think that's why the ratings are so low

I’ve had a referral to see this doctor since December 2020. It took them until April to return my calls. They scheduled me in July. Last week they called and cancelled and offered me an appointment in October! If you can not get a new patient in for ten months, you should not be accepting new patients. Terrible patient relations and I work in healthcare! Go anywhere else but here!

I have been in Dr. Witzke's care on and off for several years because of severe kidney stone problems from hyperparathyroidism. She has performed surgery under emergency situations late into the evening for me. Her bedside and professional manner in the hospital and office have been no less than stellar, and every member of her staff works very hard to do their job in a complete manner, with kindness.

I have been treating with Dr. Witzke for almost three years as a result of recurring uti's and other bladder problems. Honestly, I could not be more happy with the care I've received from her. She has always made herself available (even at night when I would ask the hospital to page her) and is always patient and kind to me. I may be a high maintenance patient, but she doesn't make me fee that way.
I cant believe some of the negative reviews. Definitely fabricated to make her look bad.

Dr. Witzke and her staff care for patients like they are "the only one", truly expressing their concern to make the patient feel they are being heard. From scheduling appointments to seeing Dr. Witzke, the entire staff explained each step of the way and then fully explained the scheduled procedure. I cannot express how professional each staff person was and Dr. Witzke herself was absolutely phenomenal. Staff and doctor went above and beyond.

I found Dr. Witzke to be a good listener who took time to look through my considerable record from U of M. She was patient and caring as she explained options. The office staff was very helpful and friendly. They clearly have a good relationship with one another and that helps create a positive atmosphere. The support staff was very capable. Wait times for appointments were never more than 15 minutes. There is a shortage of urologists so wait times to get an appointment scheduled will be long.

Horrible staff. The NP is nice and seems more knowledgeable than the Dr. horrible bedside manner. Drags things out over the course of months to get more money at visits. Average wait time for appointments is 1-2 hours AFTER appt time. Nurse Tammy is absolutely rude and borders incompetence.

I would never ever recommend this office to anyone...I have a disabled sister whom gets UTI's and we were told by our family doctor that she should see a urologist...The office schedule an appointment but never said we weren't going to see the doctor instead we saw a NP...Whom looked down on us and treated us like we didn't know how to care for her...to get us out of the office she sent us to the ER and it ended up being 8-9 hours later with no answers and no follow-up calls....NO STARS!!!!

Doctor Witzke is great. Her desk staff is rude. If you discuss this with doctor, it gets worse; she talks with the staff and I swear your file is marked...they become more rude.

I am a patient and an RN that didn't know Dr. Witzke, but had to be added on her schedule for surgery last friday. I came to Midland by ambulance, as a direct admit from the ER of another hospital. I would like to let everyone know that Dr. Witzke was the on call Urologist, that did my surgery and she is a 10 star physician all the way around. Thank You Dr. Witzke and the staff of the surgical unit at MidMichigan in Midland (4100) for the wonderful care, from the bottom of my heart. God Bless.

I would never allow my husband to return to her. He became very ill 9 hours after a cytoscopy she did. He was admitted6 days later t MMRMC because he was septic. Not even 24 hrs after being discharged from MMRMC he was admitted to Convenant Hospital with pulmonary embolisms. A very healthy man walked into her office and 9 hrs later deathly ill after procedure
