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.

I'm 50, and this is the best doctor I've ever had
Dr. Pitman is, by far, the best doctor I have ever had, despite having lived in six states and in Europe. He is kind, caring, brilliant, and always always has his patient's best interests at heart.

The BESt!!!
I have been a patient of Dr. Pitman's for over 15 years. I have bronchiectasis any other lung related issues. Dr. Pitman has given me outstanding care. He is knowledgeable, personable, empathetic, and genuinely cares about his patients.

No appointments available for 4-5 months
Scheduled surgery 90 days out. Needed pulmonary clearance for anesthesia risk. Called for appointment three days in a row. Each day I was promised a return call by day's end. On day 3 I was told they were booked solid for 4-5 months. Catch-22. They could have told me that on day 1. Unnecessarily obstructive. Never got to see or talk to Dr.

Pittman was always in a rush and always late. He asked me to sit on the other side of room when meeting me, due to a cough, and pushed sleep study and snoring -c pack. I do not snore, I told him as much. I want a doctor that is not so blatant in regard for them-self only. They did not care about me. Pittman gave me asthma inhalers and expensive copd medicines. He was always rushing between rooms and spent no time explaining why to use these. I did not have asthma

Unbelievable lack of integrity. I relocated to Philadelphia and contacted Dr. Pitman's office to request an appointment as a new patient. I explained to Dr. Pitman's office that I have COPD and my prescription was running out and I needed a refill. I requested an appointment but the office said they needed to review my info with Dr. Pitman and would call me back regarding an appointment. This was three weeks ago, and no call back. The office has no professional integrity whatsoever. Avoid or die

Dr. Pitman is a caring, insightful , talented physician who takes the time to carefully analyze his patient's issues and convey to them his findings and recommendations. He always makes an extra effort to discuss in detail all medical findings and his suggestions are always extremely helpful. His combination of expertise and genuine concern are rare and deeply appreciated. His assistant , Stephanie, is skilled, upbeat, and goes "the extra" mile to help patients any way she can. A real asset!

I have know Dr. Pitman both professionally and as a patient for many years. When I was in need of a Pulmonary Physician there was no question in my mind who I wanted. I have been under his care since 2004. He has always treated me like I was his only patient. In addition to being an excellent physician, he is empathetic, caring and compassionate. A "gentle lion". I feel I could call him at any time with any concerns and know no matter how busy he might be I would hear from him.

DR. PITMAN AND HIS STAFF WERE FANTASTIC. I'VE EXPERIENCED ONGOING BRONCHIAL ISSUES FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS, AND HAVE SEEN OTHER DOCTORS WHO DID NOT FIND THE CAUSE OF MY PROBLEM. WITH MANY QUESTIONS AND A THOROUGH EXAMINATION, DR. PITMAN FOUND MY PROBLEM! HE EXPLAINED THE CAUSE, AND HOW TO TREAT IT, WITH A HANDWRITTEN BREAKDOWN ON WHAT MEDICATION TO TAKE WHEN CERTAIN SYMPTOMS AROSE. I CAN CERTAINLY SEE WHY HE IS ALWAYS ON THE DOCTOR 'BEST OF' LISTS.
