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.

Condescending and couldn't care less
Many issues, but I will start with the rescheduling problem. My new patient appt was originally scheduled for about 4 months out but I was called the day before and was rescheduled for TWO MONTHS LATER. Then, a few days before that rescheduled appt I was rescheduled AGAIN for (thankfully) a few days later. Next, Dr Petitt speaks to me in such a condescending tone even in front of my partner. Says things like 'well what do you want me to do about it?' When he is the doctor, not me. During my very first visit says 'well I'm sure I'll be seeing you soon' assuming that I am just go to the doctors for attention? His tone and lack of caring even made me cry at one appointment where I basically had to beg him to do his job and try to help me with what I had going on. After an ER visit the ER doctor told me to follow up with my PCP and when I did, Dr Petitt said 'I'm not sure why you're even here'. The last straw was when they lost my urine sample. I'm so glad I found a new PCP.

Terrible bedside manner
Extremely condescending and does not listen to the patient. If you are looking for someone with a good bedside manner, this is not the doctor. There is no mutual respect. He tells you what he thinks and if you don't like it, then move along. He spent 4 mins and 30 seconds with me. Dismissive and cold.

I wish I could report anything good, but honestly Dr. Pettit is incredibly opinionated and can't be bothered to actually put in the time to help his patients figure out what is wrong with their health, would not recommend

We’ve been going to Dr. Pettit for about 15 years and couldn’t be happier. Dr. Pettit always takes the time to listen and explain. His staff is exceptional.

He is rude and very condescending!! I will never recommend him or go back! His bedside manner is absolutely terrible! He needs to reevaluate his entire career.

BEWARE OF GREEDY MONEY HUNGRY DOCTOR, WHOS ONLY INTERESTED IN COLLECTING YOUR INSURANCE MONEY! If you have a long term health condition stay away from this corrupted practice. They made it real clear they are in business for a paycheck only! They dont care about your lively hood what so ever.

I would've gladly given Dr. Pettit a 10 star rating, however it wasn't an option. Kind, patient, very easy to understand and conversie with, knowledgeable. I never got that feeling of "hurry up, get out of here you're in the way of my next patient". I highly recommend Dr. Pettit!

Rather than try to find out what was causing my medical problem, told me there wasn't anything he could do and if I was that worried about it I could go to the emergency room.
