Patient Reviews
May 03, 2023
Dr. Petitto performed my mastectomy. During my first visit he reviewed all options and was with me answering questions for an hour and forty five minutes. I never once felt rushed. On subsequent visits his demeanor was the same. I found him to be very down to earth. The surgery went great. The morning of the surgery, everyone I came in contact with told me I could not be in better hands. After the fourth person I began to wonder if it was a spiel. I am happy to say it was not! If ever I need another surgery I definitely would call on Dr. Petitto.
