About Torin P. Fitton
At the age of 14, Dr. Torin Fitton told his parents he was going to be a heart surgeon. “My father was a social worker and my mother an administrative assistant so how I settled on cardiac surgery remains a mystery – I think I just knew.” As an adult cardiac surgery provider, Dr. Fitton hopes he can bring hope to the patients he treats. “At the end of the day, patients don’t come to doctors asking for a valve replacement or bypass, they come looking for hope – hope that they can feel better, hope that they can make it to their next anniversary, birthday, reunion, wedding, birth, etc. It is simply the greatest job in the world – there has never been a day that I haven’t felt honored to be a heart surgeon.”

This was my first meeting with Dr. Fitton. I was very pleased with the experience.
Providence Patient
Dr. Fitton really has a way of instilling confidence in his patients from surgery to aftercare. I have nothing but respect and great things to say about Dr. Fitton. As a User experience architect (myself) and undergoing a major surgery last year he was very empathetic, instilled trust, security, and confidence in his ability to bring me through and I am better than I was before. The only thing I would say in an area to improve to to make sure that after the surgical team transitions the patient to the cardiologist that they transfer the prescription authorization as my pharmacy would continue to send prescription authorization to the surgical team rather than the cardiologist and I would find that I needed to follow up and change the authorized physician to approve my refills.

I am very thankfull to have had the chance to meet with my provider. In the fact that my heart is my life priority, so with that being said, I am very pleased and feel very comfortable with all decisions made for my surgery.
Providence Patient
He is an excellent clinician. He took the time to explain all of the information, was very patient, and extremely informative. I really appreciated him taking the time to walk me through something I did not have background on
Providence Patient
Dr. Fitton treats me personally and is respectful of my concerns. He is kind and thorough and knows that if I ask to see him, it is for serious reasons, so he responds.
