    "Dr. Pittman has been a blessing to me! I was infected with Lyme disease in 2015 and did not know I had the disease until 2017. I went to different doctors in my hometown which diagnosed me with Rock Mountain Spotted Fever instead. The doctors could not do much besides give me doxycycline. I continue to get worse due to the Lyme disease. We decided to look elsewhere and looked online finding Dr. Pittman in 2019 and decided to try him out. Dr. Pittman jumped right in and ran test on me to find out what exactly is going on. Dr. Pittman put me on regime of vitamins to build my immune system up prior to giving me treatment. In one year, I have seen a huge improvement such as more energy, less memory fog and other symptoms related to the Lyme Disease. I am not 100% as of yet, but I am having better days now than previously seeing him. One thing that stood out about Dr. Pittman is that he CARES. He will sit and discuss in details on what is going on and what he plans to do to improve your health. Also, Dr. Pittman's staff is very helpful and courteous, caring when dealing with them! I highly recommend him if you are seeking this type of medical assistance. Update 11/2/21 - I feel even better than the last time I wrote this a year ago. Again, Dr. Pittman is a caring physician and looks after your well being. Dr. Pittman doesn't just hand you pills and send you on your way. He will monitor all prescribed medication with blood work to evaluate on how your body is coping with the treatment. I have read reviews on what he charges and etc. First, this type of practice is not 100% coverage by insurance. But what amount of $$$ is worth your health..." - Bryan T.

    "Dr. Pittman began treating me for Chronic Lyme in 2013 when we moved to NC. He is a very caring and compassionate doctor. He goes to every conference and is knowledgeable about every new treatment for Lyme and associated TBDs. I have recommended him to many people and they are still patients. Dr. Pittman is exceptional because he works WITH his patients to move them to health."

    "I was treated in 2003 and 2004 by Dr. Pittman for autoimmune illness. I have continued to purchase supplements from their nutrition center and now visit their office for breast thermograms. Dr. Pittman and his staff are very knowledgeable and are successful in improving the health of people with a wide variety of illnesses by addressing the root causes of their illness and not just treating symptoms. I am so thankful for the care I have received in this office over the years."
