Dr. Bittner has a pleasant bedside manner, and is very easy to talk with about any medical issues that I may have. She’s very good about explaining what medical terms mean, and what treatment plan would work best for me. She seems to be very thorough in getting things checked out as soon as possible. She is in the same network as a few of my other doctors so she has access to all my medical records/doctors’ reports, test results, and medications I’m taking.
