Dr. Jose Castillo Vitto, MD

Dr Vitto is exceptional. He’s caring, precise, and very expedient.

Dr. Vitto figured out the issue with my lower back in about 2 minutes, after two other doctors couldn't properly diagnose. I am on a treatment plan that helps keep my pain as manageable as possible. Dr. Vitto answers every question I have and treats me with respect. Wouldn't go anywhere else

Dr Vitto I had no problem with other than I felt he would not look for any other solution other than injections. He said he could do nothing else for me. So I took that because they DID HELP!!! I could finally LIVE AGAIN!!! My back pain gets so bad and then I become very depressed so I was happy to get anything that would allow me to do things again . My problem with the entire office is MERIAM (so?)!!! I absolutely need injections in my back as I suffer from chronic back pain. So far in 15 years there has not been one doctor that actually really wants to find out what the problem is, instead most want to just give you narcotics. So I went to this place because they are not that type of facility. I thought by going to a facility like this I might get someone who actually cares and take the time to figure out a solution to my every day excruciating back pain. The doctor did give me the injections and they did help, I received three of them and on the fourth he wanted an MRI done. I told him and the woman who does the prior authorizations, I believe her name is Miriam, told them both that if they sit in the prior authorization for an MRI but it would be guaranteed that they will deny that and then intern deny my injections that I needed so badly. I have had at least three conversations with Miriam begging her to either do or not to do something because I know my insurance very well and how they work after this many years. Even though I begged her to send the prior authorization for my injections first and then send for the MRI, she won hundred percent did the complete opposite therefore guaranteeing that I would not receive my injections. It’s absolutely devastating for me because without them I can do nothing but work and lay in bed with an ice pack on my back. So because of Miriam that is exactly what I’m doing at this very second!!!! It’s sad that I have to tell someone how to do their job because she doesn’t know and then just to be spiteful she does the exact opposite. I mean how else can I feel about this when I begged her not to do that because I told her exactly what would happen and of course they both were DENIED!!! Had Miriam just sent the prior authorization for my injection first and then sent MRI request, I would not be in the shape that I am I in right now. I guarantee you that if it was her mother, her daughter, herself, they would’ve been taken care of. I watch a lot of animal planet and it’s a shame that I’m not a parrot at a zoo because that parrot would better care than what I have gotten!! This doctor lost me as a patient only because of MERIAM. It is very clear to me that she cared absolutely nothing about my well-being even after I told her that I had the kind of pain in my back that would make one want to just end themselves (not that I would!!!!!) !!! I have children and family that I love very much and I just want to be able to enjoy them like I could but I have injections and felt better. It is the type of pain that consumes you, depresses you, steals you soul and should didn’t listen to me. When she called and told me it had been denied.... Although not surprised, I was absolutely devastated and still am. Now I am back at square one having to start all over. I always try to find something positive, but the most positive thing that I can say is that Missy at the front desk is very nice and professional.

Dr. Vitto is very professional, caring and knowledgeable. I suffer for back pain for over a year I tried several therapies and nothing work I was referred to Dr. Vitto by a friend and I am glad I went. He is amazing ! He took the time to explain my condition and the treatment made me and my husband feel very comfortable and explain every step of the procedure and the injections were painless, he has a very steady hands and he knows what he is doing ! Did I mention NO MORE PAIN !!!:)

Dr. Vitto listens, finds the problem, seeks more information if necessary (x-ray, MRI, etc.). His injections have been very helpful to me, with minimal time and discomfort.

I was on an extreme amount of pain killers. No doctor would do anything for me other than give me more pain killers. My back was hopeless. UNTIL DR Vitto!!! He is my Angel. He was able to get me off all the pain killers with a procedure I get every other year. I went from bedriden to working out 5 days a week and benching 325lbs currently. I owe Dr Vitto my life! Thank you!

Doctor V, it is exceptional, very kind, professional and up to date to the latest procedures and technologies. I definitely recommended him !

Talks fast and has a very thick accent. Great difficulty understanding him

Treated with Vitto for 2 years. Once I quit consenting to invasive procedures that didn't work but were recommended by him for chronic pain he refused to refill pain med prescriptions that he started me on 2 years ago. Basically was told to go to my family Dr. Had the distinct feeling since he could no longer bill the insurance company for expensive procedures he did not want to treat me any longer. I was told he wasn't a pain management dr but an interventional pain dr. Unfortunately all his creditionals, info on the web - everything states he is a pain management Dr. Had I known this from the start I could have saved myself unnecessary procedures and costly visits for my insurance company and myself.

Dr. Vitto is a AWESOME Doctor I would highly recommend him! Great bedside manner and he really cares!

Would forever recommend this physician, but would like to see him get his own practice. The time constraints and attitude problems of office staff this year (2010) are the only negatives when seeing this physician.

easy to get an appointment. I barely sat down in the waiting room. Very professional physician. He answered all my questions. Had nerve block and was pain free when I left the office. Office made follow-up call to see how I was.
