This doctor saved my daughter's life.
He not only saved her life, he maintained the quality of her life, with his skillful and careful work.
Years ago, while on birth-control, my daughter developed DVT. She went to her prescribing doctor in Flagstaff, who told her nothing was wrong. Then she went to the hospital in Flagstaff. Someone told her she needed to go to Phoenix immediately.
Doctor Wittenberg scheduled Interventional Radiology for the next day.
The clot had blocked her lower leg and gone all the way up her artery, into the vena cava and was very close to her heart.
Overnight they put her on blood thinners to try to reduce the clots.
Dr. Wittenberg carefully removed as much of the clot as he could, going in from her hip.
Many people are left to wear constricting leg wear after DVT. He was able to remove so much of the clotting that she has not had further problems with this in her life.
I am so grateful to him for saving her life. I am grateful that he was able to save the quality of her life as well.
He is kind, he spent a great deal of time with me after the surgery explaining everything. He is skillful. He is humble, never arrogant.
Years later, seeing his photograph, I am once again filled with gratitude for this amazing skilled and talented doctor. Thank you Doctor Wittenberg! read more
