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.

Doctor Dewitt has been our primary Orthopedic doctor for our daughter with Spina Bifida. In short, he's been phenomenal. He's done multiple surgeries on our daughter and we've always known our daughter was in good hands. He's always answered our questions and guided us through complex medical decisions for our daughter. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

The very best! Dr. Dewitt is a highly skilled surgeon, who I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. He did a fabulous job on my son's spinal fusion surgery-which came out with a much better correction than we had expected. Dr Dewitt took time to answer all of our questions, and allowed us feel completely normal in a situation that was unusual for us. Only downside: The office staff are hard working but very busy, so I found I needed to call them twice a couple of times to get appointments scheduled.

I wish I could say my experience was good, but it was not. I didn't get past the receptionist before I decided NOT to go this office. I called the office manager 2 times to discuss my issues & I did not hear back. I ALSO, would have gladly spoken with the Dr. about my experience, but I am not even sure he knew there was an issue. I have nothing, but good things about him as a Dr., but couldn't get past his office staff to experience that piece. ;(
