I met Dr Pittman for the first time when I needed emergency gall bladder surgery on a Sunday morning. He was very reassuring and had the confidence that is most needed in a surgeon. Dr Pittman visited with me the next day, explained the surgery and made me feel that all had gone well. Saw him in clinic today for the post op and certainly felt that I had truly been extremely fortunate given the facts what the surgery involved and that Dr Pittman was the one who did the surgery and that I was healing so well. He was very pleased with the results and I am most grateful.
