Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Listens carefully and with empathy to patient's complaint. Takes his time to examine body part and Xrays taken. Clearly explains issue, diagnostic, and recommendation alternatives.

Great bedside manner!
Dr. Schluntz has a great bedside manner and a good sense if humor, which is rare for a surgeon. I think Im qualified to speak to this as I worked with Orthopedic docs for 10 years! He listens to what you are saying and you don’t feel rushed. I have bad knees and will have to have surgery down the road. He gave me a set of goals I need to reach in order for the surgery to be a success. I plan on following his advice and look forward to getting the surgery completed in the near future!

An excellent orthopedic doctor near you!
My current visit to Kurt Schluntz, M.D. was actually a return to my surgeon of several years ago. Dr.Schluntz is a specialist in treating shoulders and knees. He listens actively, answers your questions, explaining in terms that are understandable., offering practical suggestions to alleviate your pain. Although a surgeon, he is conservative and first explores other solutions for the problems you are experiencing. He is also kind and compassionate! And has a great sense of humor! I highly recommend Dr. Kurt Schluntz!
