Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I met Dr Litke as a temporary traveling doctor who came to my town after our local surgeon retired. Before he came I thought I was going to have to go 2 hours away for surgery! I was so impressed with how kind and caring he was, such an incredible bedside manner. He told me he was a cancer survivor (but a different kind of cancer) which put my mind at such ease. My surgery went great, better than expected. I am forever grateful to him for saving my life. My only disappointment is that he was only filling in as a traveling doctor and not here permanently! If I ever need surgery again I will look him up and go wherever he is!

Since my lung surgery, he has moved twice (to different states). As far as I'm concerned he ruined my life. I truly believe due to the surgery performed by him I am now dependent on oxygen 24/7. I wish I could sue him!!!!

I came in after failing a heart catch. Dr. Litke allowed time for my blood thinner to get right. Surgery (three bypasses) went well. Recovery time was minimal and scar was light. I recommend this doctor and his team.
