Dr. Christopher Chittum, MD

Visit was what I expected I have to say he's the best Dr when it comes to your back this man knows his stuff the only thing he told me he was gonna give me a stronger then 10 mg then he didn't but I survived the pain and wouldn't want any one else working on my back but him

They are friendly in the office. Dr. Chittum really only gives basic info. Communication between appointments is very poor. Good luck if you have a question or problem.

Dr. Chittum and his staff are very professional. They were all so kind and patient with my indecision. Dr. Chittum gave me a straightforward, honest assessment of the upcoming spinal fusion I have elected to have. I am confident I have found a great surgeon, which lessons my natural fear of a major surgery. Dr. Chittum has a lot of experience with spinal fusions, which also reassures me. I highly recommend Dr. Chittum and his entire staff.

Myself having 6 back surgeries in another state and looking at possible Radiculopathy surgery, Dr. knows exactly what to do. He will listen to what you have to say. He shows integrity. The people around him are kind, courteous and very knowledgeable. CONA is the place to be.

Dr.Chittum did a spinal fusion on my lower back on 3-1-23. He did a great job. He has a great personality. Explains in language I can understand. Follow up is been point on. Pain controlled as best I believe can be. Also he is a sharp dresser, handsome & smells good. I’m not hitting on him, just saying. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. Thank you Dr. Judy Carter .

Dr. Chittum performed a one level spinal fusion surgery on me in 2016. I received first notch care. Now I am having a two level spinal fusion surgery above the one I had in 2016. My care this time is just as good as the first time. Dr. Chittum and his entire staff, including his office staff are professional, efficient and friendly. Dr. Chittum is an excellent surgeon who goes the extra mile to make the entire process of a back surgery as smoothly as possible!!

Dr. Chittum, thank you for explaining my MRI. I was scared to find out what was causing my pain, but your comforting manner and assuring me that my problem could be corrected was great!

Very good at explaining issues in a clear manner, very thorough, great on solving my issues in a timely manner. Have been very pleased with surgeries and his expertise. Would recommend him. Office staff are great at returning voicemails in a timely manner.

Dr Chittum was very kind and answered my concerns .

Dr. Chittum showed me the xrays and mri. He explained exactly what he would do to fix my neck. He performed the ACDF procedure fusing 4 vertebrae. He did and excellent job and I am pain free this being the 11th week after surgery.

Staff and Dr were very friendly and compassionate. Dr Chittum explained things well and was very encouraging.

Dr. Chittum performed emergency brain surgery on me and he did an exceptional job; I am doing fantastic. I highly recommend him to anyone needing any neurological surgery. He is outstanding and very kind.

After about a year and a half of trying to find some answers to my health issues we were referred to Dr Chittum. He provided excellent care and I’m doing much better.

He did a terrible job on my husband. He didn't do as promised. He doesn't take the time to answer questions, nor does he like to prescribe pain medicine.

Professional and friendly staff, NP and physician

Dr Chittum was very attentive and took the time to explain his diagnosis. I did not feel rushed. It was a pleasant experience.

In this pandemic period where all healthcare workers are overloaded and stressed to the point that it does affect their patient interactions, the team at Dr. Chittum's office are spectacular. They are professional and friendly, and they take the time to make sure the patient and any associated caregiver/caretaker understand everything and have their questions answered. I received follow up and proactive calls from his office about critical items. I not only recommend Dr. Chittum and his practice to anyone seeking neurological services, but also to all healthcare practices wanting to know what excellent sounds like!

DR. CHITTUM DID SURGERY ON MY NECK 7-21-2021. AFTER THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO EVEN TALK TO HIM FACE TO FACE OR EVEN ON THE PHONE. USALLY THE DR. WILL COME TALK TO YOU AFTER HE DOES YOUR SURGERY. A APPOINTMENT WAS SET FOR 2 WEEKS AFTER MY SURGERY ON AUG. 4th TO SEE A NP JENNIFER TURNER. SHE CAME IN THE ROOM AND STAYED 5 TO 6 FOOT BACK FROM ME AND NEVER EVEN CAME OVER CLOSE ENOUGH TO LOOK AT THE INCISION ON MY NECK. ALL SHE TOLD ME I NEED TO START PHYSICAL THERAPY . SHE COULD HAVE TOLD ME OVER THE PHONE AND I WOULD NOT WASTED MY TIME AND GAS GOING THERE. I AM VERY DISSAPOINTED THAT I HAVN'T EVEN BEEN ABLE TO SEE OR TALK TO DR. CHITTUM SINCE MY SURGERY. I CALLED THE OFFICE AND TRIED TO GET AN APPOINTMENT TO SEE HIM BECAUSE OF MY PAIN, AND THE LADY TOLD ME SHE COULD ONLY SET AN OPPOINTMENT A MONTH LATER TO SEE THE NP JENNIFER TURNER AGAIN. SHE SAID SHE COULD TRANSFER ME TO HIS NURSE. I LEFT HER A MESSAGE TELLING HER I NEEDED TO COME IN AND SEE DR CHITTUM. SHE NEVER HAS CALLED ME BACK.

Very happy with my visit and medical treatment. Friendly staff. And a very qualified doctor!!!

He performed surgery on my daughter. After, to get any response from him was like pulling teeth. No bedside manner at all.....which I can accept if I fully believed 100% in him, which I do not. After complications and other doctors recommending more MRI's and having them done...he apparently doesn't have the time to just call to tell us the results. Appointments have been canceled and new appointments are weeks away. We just want to know the results if there was damage! If there was damage, we want to ho somewhere else to have it fixed. If the MRI was fine, then we could have went back to the doctor who recommended the MRI and looked at what we need to do next. So now, because of Chittum we can choose to be in limbo for over a month or find an actual doctor that cares and stands behind his work.
