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.

Excellent care
Dr. Littell takes the time to listen. His office is a comfortable setting and his office staff are kind and welcoming. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my family’s healthcare needs.

Very committed to his patients
Have used Dr Littell and his daughter in the Kissimmee office for the last 3 years. He is always thorough and does encourage healthy actions not just big Government and pharma talking points. Turns out many of his COVID ideas were right.

Excellent Doctor
Dr. Littell has treated almost all of my family and has done amazing with all of us. Yes there is sometimes a wait but you will find no one as dedicated to his patients as him. He is respectful kind and extremely caring. I would not change him for any other Doctor he is the best at what he does.

Dr Littell was very patient, thorough, compassionate & kind during my office visit along with my son's initial visit. He listened to our family history & concerns, addressed them at the visit, even followed up with me a day or so later with my said complaint. Dr Littell made us feel comfortable during our visits. He manages to find a way to relate with his own personal experiences & is truly a God loving man, something the medical field really needs during these times we are facing.

Dr Littell truly goes above and beyond. He took the time to address my husbands concerns and got him in the same day. I absolutely recommend him to my family and friends.

Fired @ second visit
If you want to be bullied for your personal choices (like wearing a mask), called “silly” and “ridiculous “ mltpl times, hear Covid and long haul denial, be offered a meeting with God instead of antidepressants when you’re saying you’re depressed, listen to him bash other drs in the community, get no labs drawn, have obviously no records reviewed after a three mo wait, then this is the practice for you. I could not even get a word in at my appointment because all Dr. Little only wanted to listen to himself talk, and this was after he was an hour late for my appointment. He was rude, condescending and bullied me. I headed to Mayo right after my appt because of long haul and mltp other rare and chronic conditions that we never even got to speak about because he was so riled up about my mask that he couldn’t think straight. No one should be telling me what I should and shouldn’t be doing with my body. This review is not slanderous or libel because these are statements of fact.

Disappointing!
Plan to wait over 1 hr in examining room & then if you're lucky will get 5 minutes of Dr Littells time!Very dismissive of your needs & condescending. Chastised for going to ER but if you call him prior ( as HE tells you to) you either don't get an answer or conversation is cut short because he's too busy going to do a podcast! Also gave me a med that was flagged as me being allergic & just made light of it!His PA whom Dr Littell kept pushing me off to, wrongly diagosed me & at one visit told me to pray!There are quite a few other issues of total patient disregard but don't want to spend any more time on this review.If you are in need of a good doctor that cares & listens, I would suggest going elsewhere.

Dr. Littell is the best in the business, not only because of his vast medical knowledge but that he's open to new learning. And this supplements his concern for his patients and humble faith in God.

First visit - okay; second visit - not okay
The first visit, he seemed attentive and listened to what concerned me. The second visit, he essentially had a conversation with himself with me trying to talk over him to correct all of his false assumptions, which ranged from what my medical record contained to what my major concerns were. I spent 20+ years in the military, so I'm used to "take what you can get" medicine and he was dismissive even by those and VA standards. I found another doctor. His daughter, however, who I saw twice between the two Dr. J. Littell appointments, was completely professional and actually listened.

Biggest heart
Dr. Littell is a rarity in the medical profession, a true professional and gentleman. I recently took our newborn and he was generous with his time, clear with his explanations, and very kind. His office is so peaceful and his staff is so sweet. Felt like we were visiting family! If you want reliable, professional care, this is the doc you want.

Honest and Discerning
Dr. Littell provides around the clock care and service to his patients and the community. When our 4 year old was with very high fever late at night, Dr. Littell was available immediately to get us the help we needed. When my labs came back suspect, Dr. Littell recommended an approach in a thoughtful and direct manner. My direct experience with Dr. Littell is that he consistently and principally espouses Truth and Facts, and who uses observation, medical studies, and logic to come to conclusions. This is what i want in my Doctor, opposed to most other doctors I've spent time with who blindly follow policy and corporate dictate regardless of the obvious damage done to their patients.
