Excellent Dr.! He is one of those VERY rare doctors that really LISTENS to the patient. He is VERY smart and consults with other specialists if needed to get the full picture of a patient. He successfully did a very complex surgery on me and saved my life. Other doctors wouldn't help me, but Dr. Pettis did and I am still healthy, many years later. STRONGLY recommend this very skilled doctor.
