I read all the comments about Dr. Moritz. I was retiring in 2004, from my ENT practice in Ventura, CA and sold the practice to him for which he never paid me. Contrary to what he said, I had been in this practice for over 35 years. I witnessed some of his surgical treatment and recommendations and disagreed with him on many occasions. I don’t think he was honest with many of his patients and I think he was making decisions on how much money he could make by performing surgery. He also tried to manipulate the financial portion of the practice to to his benefit which is typical considering his previous financial problems which affected his family.
