Dr. James Pitt, DO

My mother was transported from another hospital with gallstones. Dr Pitt was the holiday-on-call doc. He waited too long to assess the problem and my 75 year old mother died. His bedside manner was a negative - he informed me abruptly and coldly in her hospital room at her bedside “your mother is dying” - It’s a holiday and there aren’t enough staff so her gall stones evolved into pancreatitis which evolved into sepsis. It’s now been almost 20 years but the memory remains clear and horrible.

I highly recommend Dr.Pitt for a surgeon he has done 3 or 4 surgeries on me in last 18 yrs. Very professional and very intelligent . He is the best surgeon in State of Mo. Dr Pitt also done surgery on my mother approx 20 yrs ago and saved her life. His staff is very friendly and nice and treat you good. Thanks Dr. Pitt and staff for your friendly and professional care.

He is very good at sitting down with you and answering any questions or concerns you may have! I have never felt rushed or ignored when I saw Dr. Pitt.

The receptionist/staff is less than friendly at the location. We were referred by our primary care physician to Dr. Pitt. Unfortunately, I was not the only person that had a bad experience. Our primary care physician even requested for permission to send us to a different surgeon. When picking a doctor, the first impression that the office staff leaves is crucial! I would never recommend Columbia Surgical Associates. We are now going to the University. Much better experience.
