There are not enough words to express how much I appreciate Dr. Bitar. He is a wonderful doctor and is so very kind. He always says (as I leave a visit), let me know if you need anything. He ACTUALLY means this. I recommend him to all my friends with arthritis. His nurse and office personnel are wonderful also.

So rare these days to have a doctor that's caring and polite to his patients. I'm collecting all my good doctors and I'm gonna treasure them.I've been through, so many bad doctors that could care less if they had to have good bedside manner to keep their license most would not be licensed!I am very grateful for Dr.Bitar. :)

Dr. Bitar is the best doctor I have ever had. He gave me answers when other doctors did not know. He is worth the 2 hour drive that I have to get to him. I highly recommend him!

I recommend him often. Wish he could be my family Dr. Takes time and explains everything in detail.

I am new to Dr. Bitar but he has made me feel like he has my best interest in mind. He explains my condition and treatments clearly. I never feel like he is rushing me out of the room. He answers any questions that I may have and assures me that he is going to take good care of me.

This doctor has made me feel like a human again, which is more than I can say for other rheumatologists in this town! He spends time, is always available and is truly concerned. The greatest thing he did for me was to tell me that I was ok and that he would do everything he could for me. He told me that I wasn't dreaming this disease, and that he wanted me to be able to enjoy my life that I've just trudged through for the past 15 years (I was 36 when I started seeing him, and had been suffering since 21!) We aren't quite there yet, but he's validated what I'm dealing with and is trying everything he can to help me. For that, I will be forever grateful!

One of the rare doctors who really listens and tries to help you feel better. Will take the time to answer questions and does not get impatient.Very, very good personality. Have already recommended him to several.
