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.

Cold and clinical
Dr. Vito may be a good surgeon, but her manner with patients is decidedly lacking. She doesn’t tolerate questions and is clearly not interested in patients who want to be involved in their own health care decisions. She can unfortunately be quite dismissive and rude, as can the staff. I’m looking elsewhere for my surgery.

I am being assessed for the right moment to have a mastectomy while undergoing chemo. Dr. Vito is clear in her explanations, thorough in her examinations, and caring of my well-being. So appreciated!

Dr. Vito is an amazing surgeon, I would recommend her to everyone.. she knows her stuff and at the same time she cares and has compassion..No one wants to hear they have breast cancer, but when you do, it’s a good feeling to have someone like Dr Vito on your team..She performed a bilateral mastectomy with nipple sparing on 7/24/2019 and I will never be able to thank her enough..

Dr. Courtney Vito did an amazing job on my bilateral mastectomy on 10/12/18. At my first appoinment w/her I saw her confidence, heard her knowledge & felt her compassion so I knew then that I wanted her to perform my surgery and so glad she did. I would highly recommend her to others. Loved her staff as well.

I am very pleased with Dr. Vito. I had a lumpectomy surgery, followed by a second surgery for Margin Resection. I had very minimal pain, and also very little bruising. She has a very good bedside manner and answered every question in a way we could understand, in addition, she also gave me reasons as why a procedure or treatment is necessary. I would recommend Dr. Vito to anyone who desires quality medical care. In addition, Dr. Vito's office personnel are very professional and courteous.

Dr. Vito is extremely knowledgeable, caring, compassionate and patient. She is well educated in cancer prevention, and treatment. Her personality is very kind. I am so very blessed to be under her care and could not ask for a better team of professionals that work with her in the Arcadia and South Pasadena offices.
