Meet Dr. Wittig

Losing a limb because of a tumor can be a terrifying experience. I’ve dedicated my career to helping people who have been told they have no other choice to find another choice. Losing a limb doesn’t have to be the only option.

I’ve spent 30 years as a board-certified surgeon with a focused goal: help those that feel like they have no other choice to find another way. Why is this important to me? Because I know the impact that losing a limb has, and I know the options available to avoid it. While not every limb can be saved, we can save many, and it’s my mission to help the world stay just a little bit more intact.
