Wonderful experience. Took the time to explain the issues with my ACL, but was also to the point. Discussed all the options and helped me make a decision, which ultimately was to not operate (I’m 57 and don’t need to play sports). Not sure what’s wrong with the person below, maybe they didn’t listen to his explanation bc I would recommend Dr. Pitts to anyone with an ACL injury.

This was the worst doctor I have ever seen. He told me after two minutes of looking at my x-rays that he doesn’t operate on people my age I was early 60s with a blown out ACL torn meniscus and a fractured plateau on my tibia. What an arrogant doctor. I did find a wonderful doctor at wash U who did surgery and my knee is perfect!!! No issues!

Dr. Pitts did my ACL recon, and his nursing staff before and after surgery were absolutely amazing. I have acute anxiety and knew I was going to end up getting nervous, but the staff (and Dr. Pitts!) helped explain things exactly as I needed them explained and really was just incredible. I am only a few days post op and very pleasantly surprised with how well I’m already moving!

Did a great job of figuring out what was wrong with my knee (I had a torn cartilage), and tried to avoid surgery at first. After the injection and therapy didn't help, he cleaned out the tear and I was cured by the time I went back to see him in 2 weeks.

Very impressed. Knows his stuff, but is down to earth and talks to you, gives you options, and doesn't just tell you what to do. Would highly recommend him to friends and family !

Excellent, friendly staff. Very kind, thorough, and seemed interested in diagnosing the problem and making me better and not just on operating. Waiting room was very busy and he was running about 20 minutes behind, but I suspect that's because he is in demand because his bedside manner is very good. He also spent extra time explaining my shoulder issue to me, which is a good thing !
