Dr. Pittman is at the very top of my rating scale. I was referred to him by a satisfied friend. I had searched for a surgeon for 2 years, had seen 3 other surgeons prior to the referral - one surgeon who said he would "pass" because he didn't think he could meet my expectations, and two who wanted to do everything other than what I wanted and whose facilities looked "questionable." Dr. Pittman and I consulted twice and he was very thorough. He was honest in what I could expect, and honest as far as what kinds of procedures would make the most difference. I had a facelift 5 years prior and it altered my appearance, and I had been unhappy for 5 years. Then facial sagging began again, so I was trying to get rid of some facial sagging that had occurred, and restore my appearance to how I looked prior to the last surgery (only younger of course). I did not want to look like I had work done. Dr. Pittman's approach is a natural look and what a huge difference for me. I look like my old self again - in my younger days. He is compassionate, listens, genuinely cares, take his time with you, and anytime I call, he is there for me. His staff, all of them, are also unbelievable wonderful. I am treated like a valued patient at all times. I had a face lift, neck lift and lower eyelids done. I travelled a great distance to Dr. Pittman so I stayed overnight at the hotel in Athens where they get a large discount - the Hotel Indigo - nicest hotel I have ever stayed at! What I would have changed is I would have stayed 3 nights to have the benefit of being close by for several days after the surgery since I had so much done. I am thrilled with the results, although still healing at this time. Still, I travel in to visit with Dr. Pittman every several weeks so we can track my progress. It took me 2 years to find him, and I couldn't handle another mistake like 5 years prior. Eventually I knew I would find someone I could trust, someone who was honest, and someone who was a truly talented surgeon, with a professionally operated and state of the art medical facility/ Dr. Pittman met all of those expectations and then some. You won't be disappointed! And that will make all the difference! read more
