Patient Reviews
Jan 04, 2019
Dr. Gittes is leading the charge for a potential cure of Type One diabetes. Following a recent appointment with Dr. Gittes, I found him to be an approachable, brilliant researcher and we are blessed to have him apply his time and talents in search of a cure for the world's fastest growing pandemic. All other auto-immune diseases are on the downslope except diabetes. Limited testing on animals in a controlled humane setting is the only pathway towards FDA approval of new medical treatments.

Board Certifications
What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams. While not all specialties have board certifications, if your provider does have one they’ve taken the extra step to master their specialty and to keep up with the latest advancements in their field.
