    Dr Pittman was very detailed in his explanation. He explained the procedure entirely. He didn't hesitate to answer any of my anxiety ridden questions.

    Did not explain biopsy or mentioned it. Set me up with an pulmonologist after I had explained I was keeping one I had.

    Dr. Pittman and his staff are great. I have been seeing him for brain cancer issues. I have been having issues now with my leg being numb and not being able to touch it and I am concerned about that and asked him and his team who to see about it and he didn't even discuss it so I guess they willMake that appointment too

      Dr. Pittman may need a vacation or consider retirement. I never encountered such shallow cold behavior in anybody, let alone a healthcare provider. But he is in a difficult profession. Maybe he has burnout. We were led to believe there had been a conference with UPMC at Pittsburgh and both UK team and UPMC doctors agreed on treatment. We drove 3+ hours, patient is not well remember, and in a couple of minutes, Dr. Pittman dismissed us as nothing we can do. Very sad. But I prayed for God to guide, protect, open and close doors. God slammed that one shut. We will not see Dr. Pittman again. I do not understand why we came, what type of conference he was in, but his manner was very sad. He needs to find another job, it seems.

      I would GLADLY recommend *Dr. Pittman!!

    • Patient Review

      -
      If there were anyone else, I would fire this doctor from my team. He would not explain his reasoning for his recommendation, which was opposite of my primary doctor. He did not fully answer my questions, did not even explain the procedure, and left the room within me being finished asking questions. Extremely unprofessional.

      The visit was perfunctory as no problems were identified since last visit. I requested to see the MRI but was not shown it.
