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.

Both a very knowledgeable Doctor and a good human being. The Doctor is complimented by his assistant and office manager, Celia. They excel in what they flawlessly do but also in thier respect of thier patients.

Dr. Pitera is knowledgeable, caring, honest and genial. I have been trusting his professional decisions since 1996. Along with his assistant and office manager, Celia, they provide a very friendly, informal and yet professional experience. Highly recommended.

Doctor Pitera has seen me through a major eye issue by proactively identifying my retinal detachment before it actually happened. when it did eventually happen he was very quick to help me find the right doctor and even fight with my insurance as to the urgency of immediate surgery by a retinal specialist. he always been a compassionate man and doctor who tells you the truth without all the BS most doctors feed you. He is a breath of fresh air in this day of and age of money ruling everything!!
