Philosophy
"I try to take care of each patient in a personal way, as if they were my close friend or family. I want to bring the most up-to-date surgical and endoscopic treatments to my patients. I also want to help them navigate what has become a very complex and often impersonal medical health care system."

Dr. Vitale is one of the best and he has done so much for several people that I've known in the past and overall, I don't think they'll ever be another doctor quite like him.

Dr Vitale barely ask me any questions. I had more to tell him. He talked a lot. He gave me Zenpen, which is harmful for me, since I can't digest pork. I read the medication info on drugs.com, thankfully. Called the office and was told to immediately stop taking it. Again, if Dr Vitale had asked me more questions I wouldn't have been in that situation.
