I'm baffled by these negative reviews. Just astonished. Dr. Pittenger has been my and my husband's…read morephysician since he started practicing at NBMC for 20 years now. He is an excellent doctor and we feel so fortunate to have him . We admire his professionalism, thoroughness and medical expertise. I don't understand the comments calling him rude. He is anything but. He is excellent at what he does and takes his job of being the best healthcare provider he can be very seriously. For those who didn't click with him and call his "bedside manner" poor, that's your individual experience. In fact, I personally don't understand why someone would want a doctor who is better at holding your hand than a doctor who is the best at what he does. After all, we're talking about your HEALTH. We highly recommend and trust Dr. Pittenger 100% and I suggest anyone reading the other negative reviews take them with a grain of salt.

This review is for Dr. Craig Jackson, although , I have to say my husband and I REALLY are…read moreimpressed by the professionalism demonstrated at Bay Clinic. My husband was fortunate to be able to start with Dr. Jackson about 5-6 months ago. Our introductory appointment was very impressive. My husband has very serious medical concerns and we felt great when we left the clinic. Dr. Jackson was very thorough and used great eye contact, including with myself the entire appointment. He listened to all our concerns and areas where we felt close monitoring was important. He made a point of asking us our opinion in different areas. He included us in the plan of care for my husband and emphasized that we are important in all part of his care and any treatment is decided by us and what we feel we need is important to him as a provider . Dry sense of humor, which we share with him and made us feel at ease. Thank you Dr. Jackson and Bay Clinic for providing us with professional and excellent care. Paul & Nancy Smith

I'm guessing THAT is likely the reason people come see him from elsewhere --- as I understand it, he's the one doing all the stomach stapling! He offered to do me... if I could gain just eight more pounds. UGGGHHHHH!!! Really? So, I came home and lost weight. Having said that, he seemed ubber-professional, and quite nice. He did another procedure on me one time (a scope) and I was pleased as anyone could be having a tube shoved down my gullet. :) Truthfully, he did make the experience less miserable than I anticipated it was going to be, and for that I'm thankful. Had another occasion to watch him deal with a hospitalized friend, and will say I was impressed by his professional personal presentation, as well as attentive bedside manner. If I ever get fat enough to decide I want my stomach all rearranged... he'd likely be the one I'd contact. But... not going to hold my breath. Or, maybe I will, to keep from over-eating! Guess I just find it kinda sad a doc gets so popular on such a "niche". Some folks I've known genuinely needed to have this stomach procedure, and I'm glad there's a doc who knows how to get it done successfully. As for all the others I know who've chosen the surgical route to rapid weight loss... I think it's a very bad idea.

I admire him because he is straight forward and very professional .He will work hard for you but expects you to work hard for yourself .
