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.

Very attentive staff and the doctor took the time to hear me out as well to answer my questions.

Excellent treatment as an Intern 1997.
This is a 1997 event during Dr Pettit's rotation at FX Hospital. I'd had an emergency gall bladder operation that went sideways and he treated my staph infection. He was consiencous then and I'm so happy to know he continues his standards. His care was THAT important and essential to my recovery, I have never forgotten him.

Conscientious physician
Dr. Pettit has been my primary care physician for a little over a year. He takes time to listen and then makes his decision on the best medical alternative for your issue, including referrals to specialists.

Fantastic-Dr Pettit is the first doctor in a long time who really shows he cares for his patients. Many doctors who I have met are "cold and appear uncaring". However, Dr Pettit is beyond a shadow of the doubt a truly caring family doctor. I highly recommend him for your family physician.

Wow...This is completely ridiculous. To be a member to this Family Practice, you need to pay $900 membership with or without Medical Insurance. This is NOT right and for a Family Practice? Very sad...

No exaggeration, you cannot get a better family doctor than Dr. Pettit! He is outstanding, by every definition! He really cares about you, and knows everything about your health. You are definitely not just another patient. He has called me several times at work, and at home, just to check up on me. It's like a throwback to how things used to be done! He treats you like a family member, and his staff at Franconia Family Medicine is simply outstanding! HIGHLY recommend!
