I had the misfortune to be a patient of Dr. Fetzer's in 2021 -2022 in Fort Myers, Fl. I was referred to her by the neuro surgeon on staff. I had 3 epidurals with Dr. Fetzer, which were not successful. When I consulted with her about the lack of success of these procedures, she wanted to continue to move to a more involved procedure, which when I looked into it and spoke with 2 other physicians, it was simply going to be "overage." i.e. not necessary to helping the patient. Both both she and her staff were somewhat unfriendly and seemed more focused on the next procedure instead of listening to the patient's concerns. I would never recommend her to anyone who is in pain .

Was 19 minutes late for an appointment and was told to leave. Would never go to a facility with this policy. Find a dr. who is with it. Both in business and in care. I wish I would of read these posts first.

I was scheduled for a lumbar injection and twice before I had the procedure she mentioned that this was going to be a hard level to achieve with my injection that the doctor ordered. At this point, the ethical and professional response should have been to refer me to another physician or talk with my doctor! Instead, she attempted the procedure, and no fault on her part, I did faint after the first numbing injection. From this point on, I was treated very rudely and made to feel that I should be able to control this involuntary response! I was told to go home and she would not be able to do the procedure. I really feel she did not have the expertise to do this injection in the first part and saw my fainting as a way out. This is terrible patient service! I subsequently have had the procedure with a more skilled doctor and it all went fine!

Dr. Fetzer is one of the best specialists I have ever encountered. Truly outstanding. Highly recommend.

I found her to be a jerk. Went for an EMG test and she offered that she thought I was seeing the wrong type of specialist and said if she were me, she would see a different type of doctor. When I asked why she thought this way, she admonished me that "this was merely a test and not a consultation"...translation: she wasn't going to tell me anything further unless I suppose I made an office appointment with her instead of just this test ordered by another physician that she didn't think I should be going to. Very odd - and rude. Who cares if she knows her stuff or not, she's no one that I would like to deal with any further.

Dr. Fetzer is very knowledgeable but uncaring physician. She is very regimented in running her appointments and surgery but has little understanding or compassion for individuals with complex medical conditions. I was reprimanded for canceling surgical procedures when my medical conditions that did not make them possible. It is obvious she makes her money scheduling procedures off-site at the Same Day Surgery Center and hates cancels because she loses money. She truly didn't care about the medical conditions that precluded me from having a procedure that would eliminate chronic pain. Seek help from a caring physician not one who is only in it to make money.

Dr. Fetzer is the only noe who has helped my chronic back pain! I really loved her staff. Eva her assistant was courteous and always answered my questions and called me back promptly. The epidural injection was exactly what I needed. I would refer anyone to her without hesitation.
