Concierge Health LA | William Pittman, MD

I found Dr Pittman, at CHLA, roughly a year ago and he has been a “God-send!” I’m struggling with multiple rare and acute health issues and he is overseeing it. He is thorough, courteous, funny, a good listener, and good at what he does. He makes himself available for appointments whenever necessary and can be reached easily for simple questions or setting appointments through an app. I have a full roster of physicians, medications, labs, and various tests, and I can ask him questions about any of it. He helps coordinate appointments, checks in to discuss changes or updates with my other physicians. He is like a manager, only for health. Very bright, very personable, highly knowledgable in various areas. Always upfront, no BS. If I’m having difficult securing tests , getting ahold of another doctor, or facing challenges with a particular doctor, he willingly steps in and helps navigate the situation to a smoother path. He’s also terrific with referrals. He seems to truly care, which is rare. I rely on him heavily at the moment- I wouldn’t be able to navigate the amount of calls, appointments, tests, and research without his help. The staff is friendly, as well. I highly recommend CHLA.

I’m a new patient of Dr. Pittman. I have severe Long Covid at the moment which is basically ME/CFS, MCAS and POTS, I have been bed-bound for 18 months. I got the trifecta, which is the hardest to recover from. While speaking and sharing my story with Dr.Pittman, I have noticed how knowledgeable he is about all the chronic conditions I have. When I speak to him he listens, he’s a busy guy, but he makes the time to make sure you get all your questions in. He understands how scary chronic illness is. He’s also very organized, he has an app where you communicate with him and his team, they get back to me the same day. I had a specialist prior to Pittman who felt impossible to reach, so this is refreshing to see a Dr so caring for his patients. He’s in it because he has a passion for Long Covid and these Chronic Diseases. He’s extremely knowledgeable about Pots, he’s been helping patients for a long time, he even was one of the Drs who opened a Long Covid Clinic at UCLA, but because of demand he started his own practice. This is understandable, as there are many sick people that need help and we need a specific kind of help. When it comes to MECFS, I feel like he’s the only Dr in Los Angeles who takes it seriously and is willing to help on a concierge level. He doesn’t take insurance, no chronic illness specialist does (for the most part, unless you want to be put on a long waiting list). It’s worth investing in a Dr that will guide you on your journey back to health. While these conditions aren’t curable (yet) Dr Pittman is confident that with his treatment plans he can improve your quality of life, he doesn’t make any promises though, which is VERY important. Any Dr that promises they can cure you is full of you know what. So, with all that said, I trust Dr.Pittman and know I can’ count on him. We just started our treatment plan, so I have not improved (yet) but it feels great to be understood, believed and cared for, that’s a big part of this process. I look forward to continuing my health journey with Dr.Pittman, while I know it won’t be easy, I have hope having a Dr like him by my side

After searching for a physician for YEARS to help with my chronic fatigue, Dr. Pittman has been the only physician to take the time to understand my specific symptoms and work through various treatments. Dr. Pittman spends time on all of my health related questions in as much or as little detail as I need. He knows all of the latest research on the various treatments and medications we discuss. We discuss options thoroughly, and I get to have input into our treatment plans. He and his staff are very responsive (within hours or at least same day) and supportive.

Due to the elusiveness and complexity of my illness, I knew I needed a “quarterback” to coordinate my care. After considering my options I chose to enlist the help of Dr. Pittman. I can say unequivocally this has been the single best decision I have made in the pursuit of regaining my health.Dr. Pittman combines his personal initiative and patient-centered style with a conservative approach to drug therapy. He emphasizes evidence-based medicine and critical appraisal of proposed treatments. His individualized advice results in care customized to my specific health needs. Most importantly, he listens to what I have to say and carefully considers my feedback in his treatment strategies.Bucking the general trend of the healthcare industry, I have found him to be accessible, approachable, flexible, and responsive. He typically responds to messages within hours and I am often able to set same-day appointments when needed.Dr. Pittman has shown an urgency to address my situation, which reveals a deep level of commitment to achieving a positive outcome for my health. He has skillfully consulted with my prior doctors, specialists, clinics, and labs to coordinate and streamline my care. In addition, he has used his contacts and reputation in the medical community to seek out unique and innovative opportunities on my behalf. Finally, he and his office staff have taken great care to coordinate scheduling appointments and labs.I highly recommend Dr. Pittman to anyone who is serious about avoiding medical roadblocks on the path to better health.
