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.

Excellent patient rapport
Dr Chitwood very thorough and explained all options of treatment.

Simply the best!!!
Dr Chitwood is so professional and compassionate, I have fought a long battle, around 9-10 years with pad (pulmonary artery disorder), and it has come to the point nothing else can be done, after many bypasses, stents, angiograms, ect… amputation will be the next step in this long journey, with Dr Chitwood’s diligence and compassion, and with strong encouragement I know I will have a great future with a new leg!!! Highly recommend Dr.Chitwood…..
