Patient Reviews
Apr 28, 2022
I've been seeing Dr. Bitar for over 10 years, ever since I was 18. He has helped me through some intense emotional health issues. He listens and has worked with me to try different medications. I finally found a combination that works for me and it's thanks to him! My only complaint is that the wait time to see him is so long. There were times I showed up to my appointments and had to wait 45 minutes or more because he hadn't arrived to the office yet. That's why he doesn't get 5 stars. Overall, I'm very thankful for the help he has given me. He is easy to talk to and I trust him.
