Dr. Brettholz has been my gastroenterologist for about ten years now. He is an exceptional doctor. His sense of humor is contagious and always puts one at ease. He is extremely accessible, always ready to answer questions or concerns, shares his findings as quickly as is possible, and is gentle, caring, and sympathetic.

Dr. Brettholz takes the time to explain your diagnosis in terms that you can understand. He does not feel the need to use fancy words. He cares about his patients and as far as I am concerned, he has a pleasant bedside manner.
