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. Pittman is an outstanding doctor who truly cares about his patients. He listens attentively, explains everything clearly, and ensures you feel comfortable and informed. His professionalism knowledge and compassion are unmatched. Highly recommend!

When I urgently needed to see Dr. Pittman and get a colonoscopy for diagnostic purposes, Dr Pittman was able to accommodate me right away. He has always answered my questions in a prompt, understandable and kind manner. I am very confident in his care and optimistic about my prognosis. Thank you Dr. Pittman!

Dr Pittman is very personable, patient and a good listener. Before finding Dr Pittman I had been to several GI doctors with no positive results. I'm so happy I found him.

Pleasant, thorough in both questions and examination. Has a very at ease bedside manner. Made me feel comfortable in his knowledge and treatment. He was on time and didn't rush my appointment. I would most definitely continue to use him as my physician without hesitation.

Dr. Pittman is the best doctor anyone could ever ask for. Dr. Pittman really is companionate and takes every step to find the best treatment to cure his patients. Dr. Pittman has fantastic bed side manners and never gets frustrated when medication doesn’t not work especially when I constantly has so many side effects on medication. I feel very secure that Dr. Pittman is my gastroenterologist I have been his patients now for several years and highly recommend him to all my friends and love ones. Dr. Pittman’s staff are all very kind and compassionate also, especially Kelly Broward the Office Manager.

Good - I was taken on time, results of a previous test were reviewed and explained, blood was taken for further testing and results were presented to me. In short, all went well and I feel relieved after my appointment.

I was most pleased with his attentiveness to my ongoing stomach problem history. He prescribed a pill and a follow up appointment for the end of the month-----this is most appreciated. I had a question and he responded via phone almost immediately. This was my first appointment with Dr. Pittman and I was most impressed. Thank you God bless

Dr. Pittman is the best of the five G.I.'s I have seen. He's excellent technically and actually listens to your complaints and tries to do his best for you at every visit. Believe me, there are a lot of lunatics and idiots out there and you would be crazy not to use Dr. Pittman as your go to guy when you need help.
