Dr Pitts was straightforward but very personable. I very much appreciated his direct analysis of my knee issue and the options of treatment. He assuaged my fears of thinking all surgeons just want to recommend surgery. His recommended course of action was to try multiple courses of action and then only explore surgical solutions. Very thorough and professional - wish all my doctors were like him!! Love this doctor--

Verified patient
Went to see a surgeon before him and the other doctor told me to just wait it out and that it was probably just sore. I knew something was wrong so I chose to go see another doctor. He listened to me and made sure that everything was looked at. Didn't write me off as someone that doesn't know my body and has scheduled an MRI for next week. Would recommend him to anyone with orthopedic needs.
