Dr. Cara Elizabeth Pittari, MD

Absolutely horrible No emotion or compassion whatsoever Repeatedly kept trying to send me off to psychiatrist EVEN after repeatedly telling her I’m already seeing one and my issue was neurological , which she was sadly too incompetent to realize , will not return and have reported her demeanor and lack of professionalism to the Bristol multispecialty group

Dr. Pittari was wonderful to deal with. Very knowledgeable and took all the time I needed to understand everything. Her staff is wonderful too.

This doctor did diagnosis my having a stroke, for which I appreciated confirming what I knew even though at the time she thought it to be an unlikely situation until the scan showed the truth. I had sought additional assistance from her on two other occasions without her taking the time to assist me with my concerns because I was a smoker. Both my mother and grandmother had multiple strokes and dementia and neither smoked, but both died from their conditions. I have been having signs of dementia, for which she attributed them to my having side effects of my medication, smoking and having a delusional mental status without testing me to see if there was any reality to my concerns. This is not a doctor who will search to see if there are actual problems if you are a smoker. However a true doctor will put aside any prejudice to seek the truth. I left in tears due to her comments, however, I will not let this doctor put me down for a habit I have that may be a crutch to my post traumatic… stress syndrome. I will continue to search for a true Doctor that will find answers to my questions and assist in helping my breaking the negative barriers and habits I hold, also seeing if I hold chromosomes that fit the genetics of dementia that follows in my family

I have been a longtime patient of Dr. Pittari and I see her for my migraines. I have to say she is extremely caring about my medical condition and took the time to get to know everything that was going on with me.
