Patient Reviews
Aug 16, 2020
I became a patient of Dr. Kittinger many years ago when he first started his practice in Wilmington. He is without a doubt the very best Doctor I have ever been to. A very smart and caring physician! I recommend him most highly! My wife,also his patient, passed away a few years ago and he took the time to write a beautiful note to me expressing his sympathy. Great man, doctor and friend!
