    Dr. Bittner is great. He explained everything to me, showed me my x-rays and let me know all my options to treat. He is very knowledgeable and very caring.
    Dr Bittner was excellent
    This was a pre-op appointment with Dr. Bittner, I hold him in extreme high regard as he provides stellar service and isn't excellent surgeon. I trust him implicitly with my healthcare.
    It took a few months to see Dr. Bittner, Donald, Orthopedic Surgeon. I was told I had to complete an EMG test (nerve test) on my left hand & wrist before being able to see him. So it took awhile for me to get the referral approved for the test. Then after I completed the test I was told I needed an X-ray which they scheduled for me on the same day as my appointment. I had already completed an MRI. Dr. Bittner went over all my test results and even gave me copies of all the test including the X-rays and his dictation notes. I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel and nerve damage. Now I need to wait for approval from my insurance in order to have hand surgery. I'm pleased with my care & appointments with my Providence providers.
    Dr. Bittner (Donald) was great!!! Very nice. Had a lot of knowledge of my hands..wow! I was soooo pleased! To have had appt. With this Doctor Thank-you
