I'm baffled by these negative reviews. Just astonished. Dr. Pittenger has been my and my husband's…read morephysician since he started practicing at NBMC for 20 years now. He is an excellent doctor and we feel so fortunate to have him . We admire his professionalism, thoroughness and medical expertise. I don't understand the comments calling him rude. He is anything but. He is excellent at what he does and takes his job of being the best healthcare provider he can be very seriously. For those who didn't click with him and call his "bedside manner" poor, that's your individual experience. In fact, I personally don't understand why someone would want a doctor who is better at holding your hand than a doctor who is the best at what he does. After all, we're talking about your HEALTH. We highly recommend and trust Dr. Pittenger 100% and I suggest anyone reading the other negative reviews take them with a grain of salt.

Update on my just now ENT experience:…read more "I just had my appointment. It was for an ear injury/infection of one month's duration. I first missed the building several times because I couldn't find the sign from the street driving in. I then waited 10 minutes for the receptionist to end her phonecalll and check me in without a "sorry for your wait" as I was standing there. I had read up a bit on this new doctor, Dr Webster, and was eager to chat briefly with him about his internship/externship past in San Francisco and Northern CA, where my mother is. During the wait, I was bombarded with "body shaming" options that made me feel old and harried, even though I obviously wrongly feel I look a younger than my age sometimes. Dr. Wallace walked in, and from the moment he started with me, he was completely unreceptive to conversation, made me feel extremely uncomfortable - like a "specimen", and deferred and talk about generalities. He checks my ear with all the strange devices, not telling me what he was doing, and proceeds to tell me there is nothing ge can really do but continue my antibiotic/steroid ear drops and wait. His demeanor and tone and words made me feel completely ridiculous and insignificant. It really was demoralizing. Then, I sheepishly inquired a bit about my "neck skin", which has become loose due to my recent 30 pound weight loss - which I am really proud of and fit into size 6. He said he could answer a "few" questions, looked at my neck, and proceeded to tell me that only a neck lift would help me because "anything non-invasive would only help a younger woman". Oh my gosh, how awful and insensitive a delivery for someone who was obviously self-conscious, shy, and hopeful. Just like that, deflated. In an eager search then for ANY words if encouragement, I asked "Well, with all the skincare products I invest in and my overall attempts at good health, exercise, etc, how does my skin and neck look for someone my age? I really, really thought he might say something encouraging and perky and kind...but he just flatly said "I guess I'd put you at like medium in how your skin looks - average". Then he said I can go. I am sitting out in the parking lot stunned and saddened. What an overall devastating experience for someone who has waited a month and has worked so, so very hard at maintaining as youthful a body and mind as possible. This was a terrible experience. I wish I had never gotten out if bed this morning. This is life for postmenopausal women."

For me, this is a good rating for a local doc. I'm pretty critical after some of the less-than-okay…read moremedical experiences we've endured over 30 years in the area. But... I've used Dr. Gruchacz down through the years and been satisfied each time. She's common (friendly and doesn't talk down to patients) and helps you thoroughly understand your issues before she proceeds with caution in treatment. I like that! She's come & gone from the area a time or two, which I'm sure has hurt business, but if you're looking for a nice person who listens, works hard to keep your business, and shows expertise in her work, I'd recommend checking her out!

I'm guessing THAT is likely the reason people come see him from elsewhere --- as I understand it, he's the one doing all the stomach stapling! He offered to do me... if I could gain just eight more pounds. UGGGHHHHH!!! Really? So, I came home and lost weight. Having said that, he seemed ubber-professional, and quite nice. He did another procedure on me one time (a scope) and I was pleased as anyone could be having a tube shoved down my gullet. :) Truthfully, he did make the experience less miserable than I anticipated it was going to be, and for that I'm thankful. Had another occasion to watch him deal with a hospitalized friend, and will say I was impressed by his professional personal presentation, as well as attentive bedside manner. If I ever get fat enough to decide I want my stomach all rearranged... he'd likely be the one I'd contact. But... not going to hold my breath. Or, maybe I will, to keep from over-eating! Guess I just find it kinda sad a doc gets so popular on such a "niche". Some folks I've known genuinely needed to have this stomach procedure, and I'm glad there's a doc who knows how to get it done successfully. As for all the others I know who've chosen the surgical route to rapid weight loss... I think it's a very bad idea.
