Bitar David E MD

Let’s just say with out going in to much detail I saw Dr. Bitar when I needed something removed from me. I was very nervous about what needed to be done, yet I know that I would be in good hands because Dr. Ammon referred me to him. Everything went smoothly, it’s just that recovery took a while for what I had done.

Wonderful doctor! Explained everything clearly at every step of the procedure. I couldn’t have felt more reassured. Nothing but praise!

This «doctor» has absolutely no bedside manner. My wife, 71 years old, left his office in tears today! After his examination he said there was nothing wrong with her that he could do anything about, and that she should double her dose of MiraLax and drink Gatorade. Oh, I forgot to mention that he missed her having a rectal prolapse that another surgeon diagnosed her with a month earlier. Stay away from this «doctor»!

I had a troublesome bump that needed inspecting. Dr Bitar did a very thorough job of checking things out. He gave an extremely good explanation of what was going on. Luckily all was fine. I must say he was extremely friendly and had the best bedside manner of any doctor I’ve ever seen. I would highly recommend him to any one who needs this kind of doctor.

Extremely personable and professional.
Good sense of humor.
Sets the example for patient/​doctor relationships.

I just had my second colonoscopy, my first with Dr. Bitar. It is hard for me to believe that I can say that this colonoscopy with Dr. Bitar was a signifiant improvement from my first one. He gave me better chemicals to prep — much less onerous. And he told me I only had to drink a half gallon of the stuff you have to drink to cleanse your colon — meaning he is flexible and uses an individualized approached. The last doc gave all patients identical chemicals and identical instructions. He said to check my stools and if they were clear after half a gallon, I could stop. Trust me: this is huge. It is huge to be able to stop drinking the very intense drain fluid required to clean your colon. You can your colon very clean so the test is most effective.
And then he gave me much lighter anesthesia. I am not sure if what he gave me counted as anesthesia. The first gastro who did my first colonoscopy put me out, completely out, like when you have invasive surgery, but I was wide awake the whole time. This makes the recovery much, much faster.
And I was able to see my colon, see the polyps, see him remove them.
And he was cordial, pleasant, informative and cheerful. When he clipped the second polyp, he said, with a happy tone of satisfaction, «And that’s why we do colonoscopies!»
Colonoscopies are no fun. But if I ever need another one and Dr Bitar is still available to me, I will insist on him. And if, goddess forbid, I turn out to have colon cancer (the polyps will be biopsied, I haven’t heard about that yet), Dr. Bitar is the guy I want on my side.

Dr. Bitar performed a procedure for me. He was completely professional and very reassuring; I recommend his services highly.
