I was referred to Dr. Vitale over 16 years ago after being seen by over 6 doctors. I truly believe that without God and Dr. Vitale I would not be here today. I have never met a more caring and compassionate doctor in my life. I was diagnosed with chronic Pancreatitis at the young age of 24. I have still had issues off and on. I highly recommend Dr. Vitale and trust in him 100%! He is the best of the best!

Thanks only to my overly vigilant family and ultimately life saving emergency surgery (not performed By Dr. Vitale) I am forever physically damaged but alive after undergoing a "textbook perfect" (Vitale's assessment to my family) "procedure". I had survived many years without ambulance rides/blood transfusions/surgeries of any kind prior to my ill-fated experience with Dr. Vitale.

This Dr approached my sick daughter and as not just arrogant but flat mean. Dr's are wonderful people who heal and give suffering ones hope for a productive life. This man caused distress and confusion with his horrible manner. Not impressed with him as he is with himself!

I have never met a man more personable and calming in the eye of potentially life changing situations. I have CP (Chronic Pancreatitis) this man literally saved my life about 2 years ago. I am 5'10" and i was down to almost 100 lbs when we found this amazing man. Just when there was no life left in my body. Dr. Vitale was there to bring me back. Now I am almost in the same situation again and there is no person I trust more with my life than this man. Again when I feel like I am at the end and there is nothing left in me he walks in the room and everything changes, I don't know how to explain it but when he looks you in the eyes and tells you He has a plan, then you just know everything is going to be OK. God bless you Dr. Gary Vitale

This Doctor Is A Below Average Doctor At Best!!!! He is only interested in squeezing money out of you. If this guy had paid attention my mothers short term needs she 100% would not have suffered ALL THE PAIN SHE DID. Please do your homework this doctor is a Terrible Listener and Only Listens to what he wants to hear and in return your Loved one will SUFFER!!!!!!

Had a horrible experience with this doctor. Made a series of mistakes and turned an estimated 2 day hospital stay into 2 weeks. Doctor was nowhere to be found once he realized his mistakes. Perhaps he used to be good in his younger days but its time for him to retire.
