"My first impression of Dr. Pitchford is that he is a quiet person. He seems very thorough and proffesional. He told me that he was one of the 1st surgeons in Wisconin to work on the Lap-band. His nurse Sue is very friendly and helpful. I have been very impressed with the Marshfield Clinic where he practices out of. They are all very helpful and supportive. rnHe has a calming nature about him. He explains everything to you and takes his time in answering all your questions. I would recommend him to family and friends. "
