About Dr Pitcher
When I went to see Dr Pitcher I was miserable and in so much pain. When I left appt the pain was much less. Three days after appt I was pain free and able to resume my life. Life changing for me
There are many good physician but Dr., Austin Pitcher makes me feel that I am visiting a friend and always solve my health issues.
Dr. Pitcher! Man, on man! Does he know how to throw strikes! Sorry! :) Seriously, Dr. Pitcher really helped me. I mean really, really helped me!! I saw him because of a shoulder problem. I also told him of an on going neck issue. He went right into action. He had me get 2 MRI's. (Oh, X-rays 1st; he reviewed x-rays with me during 1st appointment). The shoulder MRI shows a moderate issue (it really hurts sometimes, but "moderate", ok if you say so). That was addressed by Dr. Pitcher with a cortisone shot. He said try that and let him know, otherwise there's a minor procedure that could be entertained. Well, I'm dealing ok with that. But, more importantly -- the MRI for the neck -- severe stuff going on and he correctly and critically had me see the spine specialist (Dr. Hasan, who has been AWESOME) and a neurologist who performed 2 nerve studies. Dr. Hasan reviewed the MRI on the neck in detail (after Dr. Pitcher brought the issue to my attention). Here's the thing, a neck MRI had been done a year ago and indicated the same thing. I wish that MD had referred me to Dr. Hasan at that time! Thank goodness Dr. Pitcher came into the picture and referred me to Dr. Hasan. Now I am scheduled for a major surgery on the spine to address the issue. Scary, but I know I am in great hands with Dr. Hasan. Oh, ok, this is the last thing I'll say...Dr. Pitcher is a totally nice guy. I mean really, really kind and just a pleasant demeanor! The number 1 thing is that he's good. But, on top of that he's kind while being good at what he does!! Dr. Pitcher strikes out another problem! (sorry) lol
Everything went great. He answered all my questions and we came up with some solutions.
Dr Pitcher is a really good Doc! He answered all my questions, and explained what was happening with my knee in a way that was easy to understand. He has great bedside manner! He ordered the test I needed without hesitation after he examined my knee. I highly recommend Dr Pitcher for orthopedic care.
Dr. Pitcher was very professional, listened to me describe my injury and provided a clear diagnosis with options to help remedy my shoulder/arm injury. He indicated on the xray that there appeared to be no structural damage and that the pain in my was likely due to soft tissue strain. I would request to see him again if needed in the future.
Dr Pitcher performed surgery on both my hands and the results were excellent. From the initial interview to the final examination, Dr Pitcher was transparent and thorough about the procedure..He was informative about whatvto expect during and after the surgery. I fully endorse and recommend Dr Pitcher as a top rated Orthopedic Surgent.
I have been treated by Dr Austin Pitcher for my left thumb injury in Nove 2021. The treatment continued for 3 months involving hand therapy and customized splint. It healed very well and my left thumb and hand are as good as it was prior. I have a tendonitis in my right wrist and Dr Pitcher is treating me right now. It is going well. I like Dr Pitcher’s approach. He is a good listener, goes about the diagnosis in a methodical step by step manner. He is empathetic and follows up well. I feel safe in Dr Pitcher’s care knowing he will resolve it well. I would recommend him strongly.
I highly recommend Doctor Austin Pitcher, his diagnosis and treatment helped me tremendously and his pleasant personality was a huge help to my nervous stage!
Dr Pitcher was kind, passionate, professional. He answered all my questions.
I am very pleased with my decision to have Dr Pitcher perform my endoscopic carpal tunnel release surgeries and highly recommend him to anyone requiring hand, wrist or elbow surgery. Both my surgeries were without complication and Dr Pitcher answered all my questions in a respectful and professional manner. I was given the option of having local anesthetic which allowed me to be awake during the procedures. While I understand that may not be for everyone, it did allow me to monitor the process: I was able to observe and hear every detail of the procedure and knew exactly what was happening. That had a really powerful calming effect since I never had to wonder what would have been going on had I been under a general. It really made me appreciate the skill required to perform such a procedure, all while managing the OR staff and keeping me informed of every step. Excellent job Dr Pitcher, and thanks!!!
Doctor Pitcher was very professional and personable. He went over all the treatment options and I was very happy with the outcome.

Great Doctors and services. Unfortunately I've had to go here a bunch of times and had a couple of surgeries. Very good Doctors that care!
I have complete confidence in Dr Pitcher as one of my go-to sports physicians. He has helped me with finger and wrist issues, treating me professionally and efficiently, and getting me back on the field quickly. Highly recommended.
Been to Dr Pitcher a couple of times for tendinitis and he is a genuinely caring doctor with amazing bedside manners. It’s not a 5 minute quick conversation after a 20 minute wait. Highly recommend him.
Dr Pitcher is very nice, experienced & helpful. I recommend him to anyone. He also a wonderful staff.
Dr.Pitcher was my surgeon and he is one of the finest, caring and king doctors I have worked with. Highly recommend him !!
I had a great experience with Dr. Pitcher. He was direct, but empathetic when discussing my knee problems and was very helpful in discussing options for both the short term and long term treatment. I would definitely recommend him.
When I wasn’t feeling heard by my orthopedic doctor, a friend referred me to Dr. Pitcher and I am finally getting the support and care that I need. He is attentive, kind, knowledgeable and I highly recommend him.
Dr Pitcher is the kind of Orthopedist you want. Very smart, caring, and articulate. He is a good listener, and while he is efficient with his time, one never feels rushed. He makes sure he has answered all your questions before ending the visit. I would give him six stars if I could!
Dr. Austin Pitcher is an excellent caring doctor. I went in today with a very painful hand, an X-ray was done before I saw the doctor. Dr. Pitcher was very informative and gave me my options. I decided to have a cortisone shot to relieve the pain, I'm so glad I did. He administered the injection and it was very tolerable. Feeling very thankful.
I had a hand injury. Everything you want from a doctor - smart, articulate, good diagnosing skills, gets to the point, knows his stuff.
