I have had two major robotic surgeries that Dr Dewitt performed! Both surgeries I had very minimal pain and great recovery! I love Dr Dewitt and his staff!

He lets his residents operate with minimal oversight. His outcomes are terrible, many patients wind up in the ICU for days or weeks. Go in healthy and end up having your stomach removed. He seems like a good guy who knows what he is doing but MUCH worse outcomes than the other surgeons. Stay away.

Spectacular surgeon. Dr. Dewitt is everything you could hope for in a doctor. He is a compassionate, godly man with incredible clinical skills. I had the opportunity to see him work from his residency days and knew that if I needed a surgeon, he would be the one I would go to. I trusted him with my teenage daughter when she needed surgery and the day came that I also needed his services. I cannot imagine trusting anyone more. He is one of the kindest people I have ever known. His genuine concern and desire to help people is rare in the medical community these days. I could not imagine trusting anyone more with the health of my family.

Simply stated, the BEST surgeon there is. Concerned and available. He has returned phone calls himself that could have been made by staff, and few doctors make the time for that personal touch. He is brilliant, but not so "academic" that his patients can't understand him. A fine doctor and a kind and personalbe man.

I HAVE WORKED IN THE MEDICAL FIELD MOST OF MY LIFE. I HAVE TO SAY IT IS REFRESHING TO MEET AND HAVE A SURGEON BE AS CARING AS DR. DEWITT. HE MAKES EVERY PATIENT FEEL AS IT THEY WERE THE ONLY ONE HE WAS TAKING CARE OF. HE IS THOROUGH AND PATIENT. BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I ARE VERY PROUD TO BE HIS PATIENTS.
