Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Absolutely the best ortho surgeon I've had.

I've known Dr. Kirby Deen Hitt since he was a Resident, which has been 35+ years. Dr. Hitt is a Fantastic Surgeon/Doctor who really takes a Personal Interest in his patients. I will wait however necessary it takes to schedule an appointment with him. He tells you what is Best for you to do. I like that about Dr.Hitt, I have no sons, but if I did I would hope they would be like Dr. Hitt.BS&W is very lucky to have him.

He listened and then developed a clear plan of action. He offered concrete option for pain management and left me feeling confident that I was in good hands. Finally he escorted me to his scheduler instead of just pointing me down the hallway. What a concept!
