Dr Pitta has definitely improved my quality of life by my knee replacement. Now I’m going for #2. I wouldn’t go with any other surgeon. I totally trust his skills and I appreciate his explanations and am grateful for his willingness to provide medications to help heal with PT. His staff is great. Very attentive and responsive.
