Dr. Pittman was very personable and very professional. He answered all of my questions and took time to make sure I understood his answers and explanations. He was extremely knowledgable and was supportive of my understanding of things and needs. He did not talk down to me or make me feel patronized in any way. I appreciated his bed side manner and I've come to trust him as my surgeon.

The reason for my 10 rating is all about Dr. Pittman. He is absolutely one of the best doctors I have ever gone to. I wish every doctor had his bedside manner. He is caring, explains things clearly, positive and confident, and is just a wonderful person to talk with. I trust him completely. He performed surgery on my father a few years ago, which is how I met him. He was wonderful then, and continues to have my trust.
