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 Pitts spends time with his patients and explains everything thoroughly. He listens to his patient's concerns and you never feel rushed. I have been seeing him for about 17 years and I hope he never retires

I'm 78, been to a lot of doctors over the years. If Dr. Pitts isn't the best, he's among the very best I've ever had. He listened to what I had to say and responded in ways that were meaningful to me. I don't know that I would have taken control of my diabetes without him.

Dr. Pitts is a wonderful person and excellent doctor. As a nurse, he respects me as a person first and is here to help me with any health problem I report. My PCP retired, he recommended Dr. Pitts to me and would recommend him to my family.

I saw Dr. Pitts from 2013-2015 and he's the only doctor I know that gave me a written summary of my annual exam - he's a great doctor. I moved to Indiana so needed to switch doctors but I miss his excellent care. He is patient, knowledgeable and truly cares about being a great human being as well as a great doctor!
