What an amazing doc!! I’ve had a few surgeries over the years but none have ever been as seamless, timely, professional, and ensured all the “I’s” were dotted and the “t’s” were crossed! He was down to earth, listened, spent time with me going over all the options, treated me with respect (never spoke above as some surgeons/docs have in the past), answered all my questions and performed my surgery resulting in the best possible outcome. I cannot express how grateful I am to have been referred to him. His bedside manner is incredible and his skill as a surgeon speaks for itself. Every person on or working adjacent to his team was impressive by any standards. He possesses skills that are almost magical!! Thank you, doc! You’re an absolute game changer! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him if you’re looking for a surgeon!!

I was referred to Dr. Petitto to remove a tumor. We weren’t sure what it was, so it was a pretty scary time for me. Dr. Petitto was so kind and friendly, and he really put me at ease. He took his time to discuss my test results and explain exactly what the treatment would involve. I highly recommend him!

Dr. Petittio was referred to me by another doctor, he is a great surgeon and a very kind person. The doctor been over backwards to try to accommodate me and my schedule to get my surgery done.

This guy is amazing. My wife had an issue that had been plaguing her for about a year and a half. After seeing several doctors and not having any luck, it was Dr. Petitto that finally was able to rectify the problem. He's patient, he listens, talks to his patients and their family. Really digs into what's going on and tries to find a real solution, not just treat and release (which we ran into so many times before). We would recommend him to anyone, and will definitely go to him again if need be. Excellent all around surgeon.
