Dr. Vitale operated on my 15-year-old daughter in October. From the very first visit my husband, daughter and I were very comfortable talking to Dr. Vitale. One of the things that impressed me about Dr. Vitale was that he talked to my daughter directly about the surgery and treated her with respect. He discussed with her any concerns she had about the operation and took his time answering her questions. As a result, on the day of the operation my daughter was not anxious or fearful. His office staff were a great help arranging the surgery, which made the admission process seemless. My daughter’s operation was a success, and her recovery went extremely well. I believe that Dr. Vitale is a compassionate doctor and really cares about his patients. —Donna F.
