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.

Thank you Dr. Pitts
Dr. Pitts, thank you for seeing me today late notice. You were spot on with diagnosis. When I researched retinal vein occlusion it was exactly what I experienced this morning. My family has history of blood clots and I have had some blood clotting issues in the past. I am glad you made suggestions to avoid recurrence. You are a brilliant and kind doctor. I appreciate everything you have done to help me and your other patients.

Compassion and Quality You Can Trust
I have advanced glaucoma. Dr. Pitts performed both a laser and a minimally invasive surgical procedure on me. He actively encouraged me to seek a second opinion and never pressured me. He spent combined hours with me over multiple visits determining my best course of treatment. His treatment plan was corroborated by one of the most highly-recognized glaucoma hospitals in the US when I sought a second opinion. Dr. Pitts performed both procedures on me within the past year and I have the utmost confidence in his skills and abilities. I have seen multiple glaucoma specialists within the past 30 years and there is no doubt in my mind that Dr. Pitts is the best fit for me.He took the time to understand my condition and always made sure that I understood the pros and cons of various treatment methods. His compassion, knowledge, and surgical skills make me confident that I am making the right decision trusting him with my vision.
