Dr Chittoria is very thorough, congenial and spends time to answer any questions you might have.

I am happy that Namita is my doctor, she is a very talented oncologist!

One of THE best! Very competent and caring.

She is truly an amazing Doctor. She has helped me so much. I wouldn't be doing as well as I am if I didn't have her helping me. I really think I would already be dead if wasn't for her. Three years ago, when all my General practitioner wanted to do was change my allergy meds and asthma meds, I came in for a routine breast exam, she could hear I was struggling to breath and immediately sent me in for a chest xray, that was the when we found out my lung was 3/4 full of fluid. She hasn't tired of helping through my cancer coming back and discovering what has been causing all my breathing and coughing problems. I would still be without a voice and struggling to breath if it wasn't for her. I'm so grateful for her willingness to help me have a good quality of life.

She is a great lady alwaysconcerned for my well being and my job if things are getting better

Because of you I have the opportunity to be with my kids, and also to be able to do so much more with them. I am really grateful that you were there to help me in my time of need. Thank you so much.

She is formal and professional. In the past, she seemed more relaxed and easier to converse with. However, I have always felt comfortable with her and regard her as very competent in her profession .

Dr. Chittoria was very good at explaining all possible treatments. And, she helped me make a final decision about my post surgery care. I would recommend her to others.

This was a pre-surgery consultation. She gave me a lot of information that I can be thinking about. Was very good at explaining options.

Dr. Chittoria is a great cancer doctor. She is very professional, knowledgeable and compassionate. I am extremely grateful to Dr. Chittoria and her staff for helping me battle my cancer.

It's kinda her way and she has an agenda and don't ask questions that disturbs her. Would not recommend.

Dr Chittoria excels at listening to my questions and answering them with specific research and details in ways that are applicable to me, even if I struggle to find the right words to ask the questions.

It was the first time she treated me and I was very happy because she is a very professional doctor who not only listens, she also reviewed my file to be able to follow the best treatment for my health and it is very important to me that she answers my questions so I don't have any doubts. Thank you very much. [TRANSLATED]

Dr. Chittoria is a wonderful doctor, very knowledgeable, and kind.

She is a lovely person and wonderful doctor

Outstanding physician!

I had heard good things about Dr Chittoria and was excited to have her as my oncologist but she showed zero interest in me as person. She will not be the person who is going to help me through a very difficult time because if she knows absolutely nothing about me, how can she help me with treatments that impact my everyday life and my family. I will be looking for another doctor.

I think that she is a very good, caring, Doctor.

Dr Chittoria is a very compassionate and patient physician. She is on top of the latest of treatments and takes her time to assure that you have the very best of care.

knowledgeable and thorough

She is a fabulous Doctor! I am so appreciative of her care and guidance!

Their was a misunderstanding on our part as to the change in the rescheduling. As we were driving from Idaho, she adjusted to us coming late.

Dr Chittoria is an awesome doctor. She listens, she understands how you feel, and she lets you be a part of your treatment. Every time I go to see her I'm so happy that she is my doctor. She knows what she's doing and how to do it.

Amazing doctor!

Wonderful, caring doctor.

Makes you feel better just to be with her. I have every confidence in her and her decisions. She is so good at explaining your treatment, and how it will affect your life, while helping you to understand why it is necessary. She gives me hope that I can get better.

Dr. Chittoria is amazing. She is very knowledgeable but also very kind and caring.

She was excellent at explaining my options, and past results of trials..so that I could make a decision regarding how I wanted to proceed.

Good doctor, makes sense, explained everything very clearly

A fantastic doctor. So kind and patient, but very concerned. Someone who knew what she was doing, and could explain to me exactly what needs to be done next and in the future. I feel so confident in her plan that she has made for me, and I understand what needs to be done in my best interest. I felt like I was included in the decisions made for my health care and I expect it will have the very best outcome. I trust her, I know she will help me to the very best of her ability. I would highly recommend her to anyone I know and love.

Dr Chittoria explained my test results carefully and to my full satisfaction. She answered all of my questions and helped me arrive at my own decisions regarding treatment. I would recommend her highly!

Very professional, knowledgeable and caring. I would highly recommend Dr. Chittoria for cancer care.

Dr. Chittoria has been knowledgeable, professional, compassionate and helpful in treating me as a post Breast cancer patient. I always enjoy counseling with her. I highly recommend her.

I felt she had her script already prepared with what she wants done. felt she did not really want to listen to what I had to say and my many questions. She deals with patients every day, but this is my FIRST time having to deal with this terrifying and horrible disease. She needs to remember that. We are all DIFFERENT women.

I just don't know why it took a month after surgery before being told I needed another test done which the results would take another three weeks before determining what kind of treatment I needed when the lymph nodes were clear.

Thanks Dr. Chittoria!

Dr Chittoria has always been very professional. She is very knowledgeable and so good at explaining everything, every step of the way for me.

Namita is a very thorough Doctor and cares a lot about her patients.

When I came to Huntsman, and began to see Dr. Chittoria, I had a bad, aggressive cancer in the lymph nodes under my arm. I'm told they don't normally try to treat cancer so far advanced, but she decided to treat me aggressively just the same. After 24 weeks of chemotherapy, more scans and surgery to check on the affected lymph nodes, it turned out there were almost double the number than we're originally found, but the cancer was all dead. As of now I am clear of cancer. It may come back, but I still feel Dr. Chittoria saved my life, and has given me another chance to go on living: first, by deciding I was worth treating, worth keeping alive, and letting me know that in her manner and behavior toward me; second, by the skillful care she and the staff offered; and third, her problem-solving skills, applied as problems came up.

Very easy to talk to and we always have a pleasant conversation each visit. I really like her and Im glad shes my doctor!

Dr. Chittoria is very knowledgeable and personable. A pleasure to work with. Greatly appreciated!

As stated, she is a wonderful doctor. I don't appreciate having to wait every time I see her.

See my previous comment on Dr. Cho - Just an excellent professional with outstanding listening and communication skills ....and she really cares!.

Great physician

She listens and discusses things with me. This appointment I felt rushed, possibly because she was running so late.

Dr Chittoria and her staff are always very nice and helpful. They give me everything I need give me to the appointment need need to go to on time, and as always respectful of the time I spent there, and they always keep in mind that I come from three hours away.

See comment #1. I realize drs. Are busy but maybe a nurse review and discussion with dr. Could have made me with only one visit. I drive 2.5 - 3 hours for visits.

Often running behind schedule

She is very smart and drew pictures so I can understand them

I am so glad I found Dr. Chittoria. I am very happy. The care I received before coming to Dr. Chittoria was not acceptable, especially from another woman.

I've already explained in first question.

Excellent

Thorough. Kind attitude that encourages questions and trust,

Doctor Chittoria, is an outstanding Technical Doctor, who really cares about her patients.

I always have a great appt with her and the 4 nurses that work with her.

Very thorough, pleasant, considerate, caring.

She was right on time for my appointment which was really appreciated. She is very professional and knowledgeable about my treatment. I respect her and appreciate the care she has given me for the past year.

Dr. Chittoria was great. The shot I received however from one of her nurses was by far the most painful shot I have received in the last 7 years. I prefer to have my shots in the lab.

Very knowledgeable and caring

Love the doc she is so patient and caring

Dr. Chittoria always listens and responds directly to my questions or comments.

She truly cares about you, and it shows in everything she does. She's thoughtful and listens carefully to your concerns. Just the best!

She listens, answers all questions and I like her way to relate to her patients.

I feel that Dr Chittoria is as invested in my care as I am. She has explained everything in my treatment and has made sure that I'm ok with it.

Excellant Doctor

She explained everything to me and I understand everything.

Dr. Chittoria is extremely professional.

I feel very relaxed with her and can talk to her and she listens

Excellent!

She was very kind and knowledgeable. I did, however, have to wait a long time in the room to see her (30 minutes), which I hope will not always be the case.

I am very happy with my caregivers

I was concerned about pains in the area of my mastectomy. Doctor called for x-rays which were clear of any concern of metastases. This gave me relief from worry. Very happy to know I'm still cancer-free.

Good experience

Dr Chittoria has been amazing!

Dr. Chittoria is my hero. There had big and frightening errors in care from previous provider. In the year I have been seeing Dr C she has changed my life. She explains things in detail, has provided plan that has literally kept my great numbers of areas of cancer at bay, has even called when I'm back in Colorado to check on me. She is saving my life, and huge change in quality of life. I am beyond grateful.

Everything was

All I can say is that both doctors I saw and nurses were most wonderful. Thank you!

Dr. Chittoria was very thorough and caring; I was extremely pleased my visit. She answered my questions and was particularly helpful in discussing the options that I had for treatment in depth.

Dr. Chittoria has difficulty with explaining in words and then resorts to drawing pictures. This is ok, but it doesn't build a good doctor-patiet bond. She has difficulty In Inspiring hope with her patient In this possibly long road of treatment.

Great

The dr was very knowledgeable about cancer. She just didn't know anything about me. I don't think she had a chance to read my file. I'm sure it will be better at my next visit

I love her and her bedside manner. She is so kind and explains everything perfectly and acts like she really cares.

Provider seemed over burdened and not engaged.

Dr. Chittoria is a lovely doctor and I think she cares about me as a patient.

Excellent

Dr. Chittoria is an excellent physician. I am grateful to have her as my oncologist.

I love this doctor. She always acts like she really cares about me and my concerns.

Chittoria is a very good doctor

the doctor is very professional

I understand everyone is concerned about COVID and is pushing the vaccine, however I don't want to be pushed into something I don't want to do or believe in. I want to make my own choices and appreciate the concern but the push for the vaccine in this meeting was a little over the top.

Dr. Chittoria is the best! She was eliminated the cancer in my body through the treatments. She is respectful, compassionate, and knowledgeable.

Dr chitorea really cares about her patients im very comfortable with her

Dr. Chittoria was terrific. Her listening, understanding, explanations, concerns were beyond what I have EVERr received, and I have been did with metastatic breast cancer since 2017!. She is extraordinary.

I went in convinced I would not take meds and left after she twisted my arm. She totally sold me on the idea and told me all the pros and cons. I appreciated that and she was very sweet to me.

This is the 3rd time I visited with my medical oncologist and I am not impressed, she is not very friendly and doesn't seem to care about my concerns. Also impossible to get a hold her or her main nurse, I enjoy the patient portal and I try calling them, even when I would see them in person they still won't call or get back to me. Makes me feel like I am not in good hands.

Good

My son and I were there for a second opinion about future treatments and potential study participation. We drove 12 hours round trip and stayed in a hotel. The visit was well worth every minute. We had asked our questions of other providers during the months of treatment preceding our Huntsman visit. Dr. Chittoria was remarkable! She expertly answered every concern and drew diagrams to help us fully understand. Retrospectively, I would have sought care there from the onset of diagnosis.

The information provided and reviewed was very thorough, comprehensive and pertained to my personal medical Issues.

As mention before I was frustrated on the day of the visit. Sometimes I di mor remember things and feel I need to research the medications more to understand how and why they work. I probably need to have a discussion and write it down regarding what kind of treatments will be available for me next when the treatment stops working. On this day I was frustrated and felt like the Dr. Was also frustrated with me for asking questions that she perhaps thought that I akready knew. I was not happy about some progression to my vertebrae and I realize it is not the dr.'s fault but sometimes I feel that I do need to write things down and perhaps do my own research regarding my meds. Dr. Chittoria does address the issues and seems to genuinely care. I think it is all the side effects that occur from the meds that are frustrating. E.g. Fatgue, hair thinning, diabetes symtoms, nueropathy and having to take a medicine that will stop working. She did ask me if I needed something for the way I felt but I felt adding another medication to the already other medications was too much. After the visit with the dr. I had to go to the waiting room and gather my thoughts. After the nurse came out I felt better. I gathered my thoughts and remembered what is my control and what is not. So I went to check on my sister and everything turned out okay. Just a frustrating day. Not the dr.'s fault. She is a caring Dr. And is doing what she can to take care of me, her patient.

very thorough

I'm very happy with Dr Chittoria. She is very kind, takes time to listen to my questions and concerns.

dr Chittoria is really good. I feel good about the care she is giving me.

love that I can call anytime

Chottoria is excellent!

I appreciate that Dr. Chittoria always makes sure that she understands me and my concerns. I love how she involves me in my healthcare decisions!

The doctor always asked me if we have any questions about the treatments. She includes my husband and family in the decisions or concerns. She is compassionate and answers all concerns that I have.

ok

very good experience

Education given was excellent and appropriate to my level of understanding

I am grateful to have Dr. Chittoria as my oncologist. I completely trust her judgment and oversight of my treatment.

Very happy with my oncologisst

Dr Chittoria was very informative and made me feel confident in her.

I would like you to know that Dr. Namitta Chittoria is the BEST oncologist I could have ever had. I actually followed her to Huntsman from McKay Dee Hospital in Ogden. She has shown me such kindness and compassion. She goes the extra mile to find information and treatments on my rare and aggressive cancer, IBC-Triple Negative. She is always very informative and gives me all the info she has so I can make an informed decision. She even went to MD Anderson in Texas to a conference on this cancer. MD Anderson has the only IBC research center that I know of in the country. Dr. Chittoria is a one of a kind Dr. I can never say enough good things about her. I have told many, many friends and family about her. I have friends that have been diagnosed with cancer and I send them to see Dr. Chittoria. My life has been blessed and better because Dr. Chittoria has been my oncologist. I'm grateful to have her to talk to, discuss with, and bounce ideas off of. Thank you for hiring her at Huntsman Cancer Institute ! I am telling everyone about her and your great decision to hire her :) Thank you !

Dr. Chittoria is friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable.

very happy with my care.

One of my cancer goals has been not to have the medication make me feel worse than the cancer itself. I am feeling pressured into trying Ibrance because it will extend life and quality. I'm still hesitant but agreed to try it.

So much information but DR. was very knowledgeable not sure that she gave us any more information than the surgeon, but was helpful

good

Dr had all wrong lab results and wanted to prescribe a medicine that previously she told me not to take. She then blamed the nurse for maybe showing her the wrong results.

I really appreciate how Dr. Chittoria listens to my feelings about how I'd like to proceed. I know she would choose a different path for me and it must be difficult to have such a stubborn patient.

good

Dr. Chittoria not only listened to my questions, but she encouraged me to tell her about my concerns when I became emotional during the appointment. After telling her my worries, she was able to give a treatment recommendation that took into account my concerns, and she also discussed a few more options that I didn't know were available to me. I left feeling much better about my treatment plan than I did when I arrived.

I absolutely adore Namita Chittoria !!! She really cares and shows me such compassion & concern. She always has my best interests at the forefront. She goes the extra mile to make sure I understand my options and the treatments available. I am so thankful I've had her to care for me.

I appreciated that my oncologist was willing to postpone prescribing medication until she is able to discuss my a-fib with my cardiologist.

no issues with doctor

I felt that Dr. Chittoria did not want to see me. I felt that she had a preconceived notion in her mind about how my case should be dealt with before the appointment. She is a nice woman, but she is not the doctor for me.

i did ask to see my Petscan because i have never seen it with the onocologist. She did show it to me and i was glad; however, she did say that i have asked her at least 3 times about the Petscan. i am a visual leaner and wanted to actually see it, and also see it at a frontal view. so. i was finally able to see it. i also showed her areas on my body where a bump and hard areas have developed since being on piqray. she did agree that they were new and i did get ti see this on the petscan. i was not too happy about not being involved with the decision to lower my medication dose. and not knowing this about this during the appointment. i would like to be more involved or more informed regarding my treatment during the Appts. so i do not have to leave and then worry about what can or may happen and the decisions made that will affect me.

she dr, was amazing. made sure i understood, even with pictures so i would understand

Dr Chittoria is so nice and caring, but I left my appointment not really understanding the scoring numbers on my Oncotype DX test results and not sure how to make a big decision about whether or not to do chemo. I know she showed me the medications I could do, and the side effects, but I don't feel like I know what my risks are if I don't do the chemo and that really plays into my decision. I felt like I didn't really get guidance on what would be best for my situation.

i could not hear the Dr. very well. i was not happy that the nurse and Dr. did not seem to be on the same page regarding my medication or plan for new medication. i am still confused about alot. i continue to experience extreme pain on my right side, it is beginning to be continuous. just very frustrated.

The Cancer guidelines used remind me that I am only a disease, not a patient just an experiment and a specimen.

i am not sure what will happen with me. my cancer is currently progressing. the Petscans were not compared; although they were both there. further treatment was not discussed. i am very stressed because i did not get to see the comoarisons. i do not know if anything can be done for my cancer.

I have found Dr Chittoria to be cold and rude.

I really appreciated Dr. Chittotia's help. I know she is listening.

I could tell my doctor was very well informed about the medical issues I face.

good

she listened and showed concern

I mostly answered health history questions and we got acquainted. The discussion after was about treatment recommendations if I have the same cancer that I had previously. A biopsy was recommended and scheduled. We have yet to talk about the PET scan results.

great

listen well

great

because it was a second opinion not much detail was gone into
