I had a very good experience here. Dr Zhitar was very informative, professional, and gentle. Only very slight discomfort during the procedures and no post-treatment discomfort. All of the staff were friendly and courteous.

Don't listen to the negative reviews. Dr. Zhitar is a great doctor. If you're struggling with addiction make a appointment . It was not embarrassing.

In 2006 when Dr. Zhitar was at a Sentara Hospital in Virginia Beach, Dr. Zhitar answered all of my questions in a positive manner. Even when I asked him how long my father had to live, he had an honest and gentle answer for me that stunned me but was spot on. Dr. Zhitar was quite thorough and patient even though I had lots of questions. He did his job well and that's all that anyone should be reviewing. **In response to first reviewer** You reviewed nothing about Dr. Zhitar's actual work only revealed a dirty problem your wife willingly involved herself in (if true). Reviews should be for actual job duties, not personal mistakes that take TWO people to perform. Please leave your wife's cheating heart and your relationship troubles out of online reviews and do not attempt "messing with people's money" by complaining about their non-job activities, true or imagined.

This married Dr. had an affair with my wife. He is a liar, a cheater, a coward and a home wrecker. I wouldnt allow him to touch my dog.
