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.

Dr. Litts was very caring. From him explaining the procedure and prepping me before my surgery inpatient and outpatient recovery. I severed my ulnar nerve in my life arm in a truck accident in Sept 2021. He performed my surgery and told me all the steps I needed to take to ensure full recovery. I am making amazing progress. The medical office staff members are kind and welcoming. The rehabilitation team he referred me to are amazing. I'm looking forward to be able to fully use my hand I'm under his care until 2023.

He performed surgery on my wrist and thumb and returned them to normal function. He was easy to work with in scheduling my surgery. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Litts really screwed up my wrist. 2 surgeries and an excessive amount of pain. Just had a lawyer pull my records from his office. Turns out that on day 1 he had diagnosed my scaphoid tendon as being broken. Never told me about it or did anything to fix it. I just had to have a 3rd surgery on the same wrist due to his lack of follow thru. This time I had to have 3 bones removed from the same wrist because the broken tendon allowed these 3 bones to become ground up and infected. To late to sue

My experience with Dr. Litts was challenging. He had no bedside manner. After surgery unfortunately I got an infection. The doctor blamed me. I was told if it did not heal he would have to cut my arm off. One more thing, He wanted me to go to a nursing home after surgery. I was at a top rated hospital, Cleveland Clinic. I would also rate my care as poor.

I just had carpel tunnel and trigger finger surgery last week with nearly 100 percent improvement on my right hand and I'm having my left hand done next week. I am extremely pleased with the results of my surgery!

Saw him for less than 10 min. He did not touch me or use any tools, he said I had Carpel Tunnel, needed an EMG & surgery. He did not address my arthritis. I went to second opinion and this Dr spent 45 min, examined each finger with tools, asked many questions and did xrays. New Dr.said the last resort was surgery & suggested night braces, I am now painless, no meds Reported to Cleveland Clinic and they did not return calls and did nothing!

This doctor should not be a doctor. He refused to give me any care whatsoever after taking my money. I ended up with cellulitis because of dr. Litts refusal to prescribe an antibiotic after losing my finger.

Had growth removed from finger joint by another hand surgeon 3 years ago and was warned it might return. Grew back to size of pea - New insurance - couldnt return - so went to Dr.Litts... who could not have cared less - spent less than 5 minutes (if that) - dismissed my concerns entirely - basically told me to forget about it and get used to it. Has continued to grow, gets red/tender/painful now. Wouldnt recommend him to trim a dog's nails! Glad he's leaving Cleveland Clinic - good riddance!
