Dr Baltz listened and gave me the information I need to work on getting better trying physical therapy to get my shoulder better & stronger.
He was very nice and explaining everything to me I never had a bad experience with him thank you very much [Name]
Dr. Baltz is fantastic. He's done a wonderful job repairing my collarbone and guiding me through the process.
I was referred to Dr Balz by Southcoast walk in clinic on Rt 140 as a follow up from a bad fall. He and staff did not make me wait more than 15 minutes. The doctor's manner was clear and forthright. He said I did not require further treatment and his explanation left me confident about his diagnosis.
Did everything possible to help me take care of the pain and explained exactly what was happening to my shoulder. Did an x-ray for me right away so they could see what was happening made me so comfortable.
Just an overall good experience friendly people very happy
Love that office a physician there !!
I've known Dr Baltz for years. He's always great.
Matt Baltz and crew were great in wareham. I highly recommend the office. Thank you very much...
Everything was great. Only down part was the check in receptionist. Not really tuned into anyone's specific needs (injury etc) not rude but not really helpful either. Nurse and dr were phenomenal.
Dr. Baltz was extremely thorough. His physical examination of my upper bodyfelt thorough and he listen to how and when my pain began in my shoulders.He was extremely professional.
Improvement not needed, Dr was aware of what I needed and took care of my problem .
Dr Baltz was very nice and knowledgeable about my condition. He took the necessary steps to relieve my condition.
Did well. No need for change .
Dr Baltz is so professional and I am so glad he is my orthopedic surgeon. He understands me and he understands what needs to be done and I'm happy with that.
Timely appointment and targeted the problem quickly with good resolution of the problem
Dr Baltz is great
Dr. Baltz is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to about my shoulder issues.I feel very comfortable with Dr. Baltz and trust his judgement as we go forward together.
His bedside manner was poor - he was not personable and insinuated I was not telling the truth - he did not seem to take my expression of pain seriously and rushed out of the room - I was very disappointed.
Prompt, courteous, and very concerned on how to help me feel better
Dr Baltz and his office staff provide me with timely and efficient care every time I go there. I had a special request to get a surgery done next week and they were able to accommodate me.
Seemed preoccupied. Stated wasn't sure what I wanted.
I was not given the right note for returning to work, I will be calling tomorrow
Staff was wonderful Dr Baltz was rude, bored, and gave no info on a horrible shoulder injury. He yanked my shoulder and was dismissive and barely looked at the MRI.
Courteous and professional. I felt listened to and cared for throughout my visit.
Dr. Baltz was incredibly rude and condescending. His bedside manner was absolutely deplorable.
nurse intro friendly and efficient
I wish I had known I'd be ushered in first thing for an Xray. It also felt a little rushed.
Dr baltz has always been pleasant and nice very gentle. He has good manners. He explains everything to me. Thank you.
I really didn't care for this Dr's bed side manners. He seemed very dismissive and was very contrary to every comment I made. There is a nice way to tell people you disagree with them or the information that they are repeating to you. The facility was nice and clean and I did not wait a long time. The intake person was very nice as well.
This office is very kind, and professional at all times.Would highly recommend you all.
Dr. Baltz was great with my daughter. We arrived a few minutes early. She had X-rays performed prior to her appointment. The doctor came into the exam room within a few minutes of her appointment time. Did his exam and explained her X-rays to us thoroughly. Allowed us to ask any questions we may of had. We were in this office for less than 30 minutes from start to finish.
I felt better after my visit.
Office staff was great, provider rude and condescending
Dr. Baltz is friendly,professional and to the point !
Very timely, explained the problem, and felt that I should try a shot and therapy before anything else
Everything went as planned
At check-in I had to get her attention to wait on me. Once I did she was very receptive
Very pleased with the overall experience
Very good experience. Glad to have found this practice.
The staff and Dr. we're all so nice. The Dr. took the time to explain everything to me. Thank you, [Name] [Name]
Provider could show more concern for issues mentioned by patient. He seems somewhat detached.
I did not feel that he made a good attempt to diagnose my problem. Gave no attempt to come up with what was wrong with me. I did not feel he really cared. I sit here still with no diagnosis. The physical therapy was my idea and definitely not his.
With an15 minute initial visit, it's difficult to accomplish too much.
I got a walk in appointment right away. I got x-rays of my shoulder, and it was evaluated right then. I received a cortisone shot and im on the mend.
Great staff that honors their working attic. Mr. Baltz not only a doctor but also a true friend. Thank you Mr Baltz for being one of the main reasons I was able to quit two old rabbits. Drinking and smoking. I personally feel like "THIS SURGERY" came from above. Ty
Dr.Baltz was direct and explained his course of treatment understanding for my 86 year old father. He outlined clear and concise goals with us.
Very professional and knowledgeable
Over all pleased with Dr knowledge and patient care

All staff members were extremely kind. Dr took his time with me, listened to my thoughts and explained everything very clearly to me
My questions were all answered. Everything was explained to me and what I needed to do.
Dr. Baltz explains things so that you understand and answers any questions you have
I was able to get in to see the doctor relatively quickly. They provided a very thorough evaluation and hopefully a solution. I hope to feel better soon.
I was able to book an appointment for my son very quickly and having been a prior patient myself of Dr. Baltz I was confident that my son would be provided the best care. Thank you Dr. Baltz
Dr. Baltz and his staff were very professional, knowledgeable, and courteous, and helpful.
Dr. Baltz is very knowledgeable in his field and definitely explains information well. He was genuinely concerned about my health, and made sure I understood. I got immediate results from the medication he prescribed. He also let me know to discontinue taking one of the medications I had on my medication list in MyChart. He said that this medication would counteract with what he prescribed, and to quit taking it. He was AWESOME!!!
The doctor was very courteous listen to my complaints my concern, and addressed them in the way that made me feel comfortable
Able to book an appointment quick and fast over the phone, nice and friendly staff, checked in and seen quickly. Dr.Baltz was amazing and took the time to explain what was going on with my son and gave us the choice of which specialist to see.
Dr needs to improve bedside attitude.
Doctor and staff were excellent
Everything was good no need for improvement
I was seen in a timely manner and everything was explained to me and I had excellent service.
Dr Baltz took his time to explain everything to me and was very caring.
staff was very caring and him himself, he was unbelievable caring, especially for a child with autism. He was, he knew what he was doing and he was great. Couldn't ask for a better doctor than him. Thank you.
Excellent patient care. Professional caring people. This not the case in all Southcoast offices.
