Patient Success Stories
“We are always taken care of with polite sincere service by Dr. Tirrito and his staff. His skills are appreciated.”
“I have recommended Dr. Tirrito many times to others. He is conservative, doesn’t push meds, and is efficient in his use of time when I am with him. As a retired medical educator of physicians, I think Tirrito is a very good teacher and develops good rapport with his patients.”
“I’ve been a patient at Pima Heart for 3.5 years. It’s always a pleasant atmosphere on my visits. The staff calls you by name, Dr. Tirrito makes you feel comfortable and never rushes you. He’s always answered any questions I have. He is the best!”
“I especially like Dr. Salvatore Tirrito-he is conservative, practical and a realist. I have recommended him to all my family and friends.”

“All tens. Dr. Tirrito always has time to listen and talk about my concerns, and he never makes me feel as if he is rushed to finish the appointment. He explains test results in detail and he prescribes and adjusts medications to help me best.”
