I went to see the doctor for MRI and headache follow up. While the doctor explained the MRI results and next steps well, when I asked him about my headaches he told me that he does not treat those and did not have an answer for me. I was seeing a NEUROLOGIST, asking about the least complex neurology topic there is. I was asking questions that I thought were simple- as is this medication a good choice for me to be on? And what should I do if I experience more severe symptoms? Being told that he did not have an answer was extremely concerning. As a healthcare worker myself, I know that this is absolutely unacceptable. I would have found a colleague of mine who could have helped or at least told the patient I would look into it and get back to them. I feel that my experience was completely unacceptable. The doctor then told me to hold on and left the room only to send in the nurse who told me I was good to go home. I will absolutely not be returning to see Dr. Pittman

  This was not my first major surgery at UK. BUT there was a huge divide from my first to this one. Much to be desired. No one was rude or mean but there wasn't much bedside manner. This was also the view of family who visited.

  Dr. Pittman was the epitome of a doctor that I don't feel comfortable seeing. He came in, chuckling about my CT scan and how the doctors that referred me thought it was a tumor. He told me that it was normal calcification, while still chuckling about the thought of it being a tumor. He didn't ask me if I had any questions or concerns. He was in the room for maybe 1 minute total. I didn't feel listened to and I definitely left the appointment feeling stupid. There were questions I came into the appointment with and I didn't have the opportunity to say anything to Dr. Pittman, let alone ask the questions I had. For the last week, I was extremely scared because I had been told that there was a lipoma on my pineal gland-something very rare. While I'm glad it wasn't anything serious, I don't think that my fears and worries were considered at all by Dr. Pittman. It was to a point that I felt I was made fun of for even being at the appointment. Dr. Pittman's attitude is exactly why people don't feel comfortable going to the doctor. I was also told I would be scheduled for an MRI and follow up in three months, and that was never done. This was a truly horrible experience.

  Dr Pitman is one of the rudest doctors I've ever seen. He reacted to every question I asked as if I was ignorant. Some questions that I had weren't even answered. We were discussing radiation on my brain for goodness sakes! I am certain he even rolled his eyes a couple times.

  Physician was very rushed. Was in and out of the exam room very quickly. Didn't seem concerned by the issues I was still having. I also didn't feel that I could comfortably ask questions.

  Dr. Pittman has been both a scientific/surgery and patient care standout for 10 years in his care including recent brain surgery.

  Dr Pittman answered all our questions in a very professional, knowledgeable manner but was very kind and compassionate while talking with us. He didn't make us feel rushed either, which we truly appreciated!

  I hope he is as good as he thinks he is... *Dr. Pittman is very unapproachable. His residence (?) was better. But I felt I was dismissed and not important. No feel goodness - just the facts. I can deal with it but others will not.
