I can't say enough for Dr. Pruitt and his entire surgery team and office staff. If a rating higher than 5 stars were available, they would ALL get it. EVERYBODY was so helpful to me throughout the entire process. I've NEVER had a serious medical issue so my mitral valve issue created tremendous anxiety for me. Dr. Pruitt took time to answer ALL of my questions which helped put me more at ease with the entire process. Fortunately for me, he was able to use the robotics approach for my surgery (which is why I was directed to him by Dr. Lyons). I truly believe Dr. Pruitt's skills are second to none! Everything with the surgery and my recovery went fine. He is a remarkable doctor, surgeon and human being. The only sad part is that it has been like meeting a new friend that you really admire but most likely will never see again. I am so thankful that he was my surgeon and I would recommend him to everybody.

Dr. Pruitt was very thorough in explaining everything prior to surgery. He stopped by almost everyday while I was in the hospital and if not him personally a person from the practice. He really put my family and myself at ease about this really big surgery.
