Dr. Lori Pittinger, is the top of her field in my estimation. I had seen other doctors, some good, some bad. She is kind, hears what you are saying and very intelligent. Got me through a crisis, and continued to keep me on solid ground. I would highly recommend this great doctor.

Unfortunately, my experience may be out of the norm, but she was rather rude to me and talked mainly about herself. I think her intentions were good, but her delivery could use some work. I always left feeling worse than when I came in.

She basically kicked me out of treatment because she didn’t feel I was cooperating/or trying hard enough. Very disappointing because I like her a lot.

For me she was a life saver. and helped my out when no one else would. A very excellent listener, and I value her opinions. I am much older now and praying she will see me one last time. Or at least once LOL
