I think the world of Dr. Pitzer and he is always so kind, so understanding and so helpful. He provides excellent medical care and understands my personal conservative approach to care. My husband and I talk about obtaining concierge medical care from time-to-time as we grow older, but as long as we have Dr. Pitzer, we don't feel we need to follow that path. We are so grateful to have found him and consider ourselves lucky to be his patients for these many years. Please take good care of him so he never thinks about leaving.
