Knowledge Kind Staff
It was wonderful to have the visit virtually since it is a long way to the office. Only problem was the sound quality. It was difficult to hear the doctor. And that may have been my phone. I really appreciate Dr Tritter and I'm so glad I found him. He was the third doctor to try an operate on my esophagus and he was able to fix the problem. Everything is more difficult on me. But he worked through it.
To schedule a follow up appointment, it is three months. This doctor needs help from another associate.
Professional staff including Lisa coordinator
Others patients seemed to be receiving the same attention I was @ check in, information, check out etc even though it was busy ....no one seemed frustrated or short ...very pleasant/ professional
There was some confusion on our part about the appointment time & we ended up being 2 hours late. The doctor and staff graciously stayed late to see us anyway. We truly appreciate their kindness to do this. Everyone was very nice.
The doctor and his staff were kind, professional, and knowledgeable.
Outstanding!
Dr. Tritter was very thorough in discussing my treatment options and answering all my questions.
Seemed a fine physician..
Both staff and doctor were pleasant.
Mr Twitter was great. He let understand everything and I had a doctor on next July. I hope my voice will come soon. Thanks
Dr Tritter and staff are awesome. We are very comfortable with the service, care and support we received
Service was professional.
Everyone was super!
Amazing staff from front desk to Dr. Tritter. My Speech Pathologist was amazing.
Dr Tritter is excellent! He listened to my issue and cares about my well being
Dr Tritter was very focused on what I had to say. He also provided me with as much information as he possibly could. I felt very good leaving his office with very good insight
dr tritter( and dr. yao were absolutely top of the line doctors that I would highly recommend any of my peers. My outcome has been so far very good and I would trust him in the future the whole experience with his staff, as well as the memorial hospital, anesthesia and nurses and doctors were absolutely amongst the best I've ever seen and I'm a native Estonian born here in 1949. I hope you have a way to post this on one of the sites or several because it's not every day you get care like I just had. Thank you very much
The doctor and the staff, they were fantastic. I think this is for older. The first visit that I had on Tuesday and then by Friday, I had my surgery to fix the problem and I didn't die. I was really worried about not having to call an ambulance or anything to that point. I'm doing a lot better. My throat has been a little sore. I've been eating some ice cream. In general, I'm just really tired. The news is that it might come back. They put a twist on it that will be proactive, which is what I've always been with all my projects and programs and portfolios. I'm a senior IT program project. I'm going to have to do more on the infrastructure side, but I know the app side as well. It's just what I like. Call centers and data centers
Professional, proficient, and warm friendly
