"Dr Martin Fetzer was horrible. He asked me very few questions about my condition, barely analyzed by body and then acted completely disinterested in providing a diagnosis... Which I believe remains untreated. When I asked questions, he was quick to dismiss my concerns and was unresponsive to my needs. Find another doctor or group to address your issues."
