Richard Kittle, MD

"I have had the pleasure of being a patient of doctor kittle for 8 years now. He has delivered 2 of my babies. Every experience with him has been incredible. He is such a caring doctor. Takes his time, explains, actually LISTENS to what his patients have to say. I’m so sad to see he’s leaving St. Peter’s but no matter where he goes I know he will make a lot of patients happy and comfortable. Thank you Dr kittle! You will be very missed"

"Dr Kittle stands out among all other doctors I have ever seen. He met me when I was in a complete state of confusion at my 3rd hospital visit in a month. When he came into the room, he immediately invited me over to the computer to see my ultrasound. It was taken 2 visits prior, and he was the 1st doctor treating me to care enough and be thorough enough to explain everything that was happening to me. What an incredibly great doctor he is. He then ensured I knew all of my options, drawing diagrams and making lists. He took the time to care and explain, valued me, and was positive. What a difference from anyone else I had seen! I was lucky to be under his care for almost 2 years before a procedure was necessary. He was the most kind, patient, understanding, attentive & gentle person throughout the whole process. He listens and answers every question along the way. What a gift this man is to anyone he is treating. If I could give him 10 stars I would. He really is the best."

"Dr. Kittle is an incredible doctor and human being. Ever since my very first visit I knew he was a special person. I have never had another doctor in any field who is so caring, compassionate, knowledgable and trustworthy. I was always hesitant to try a male OBGYN, but I am so glad I did. You can tell he loves what he does and really cares about his patients. Thanks to Dr. Kittle I am expecting my first child after years of unexplained infertility. I truly feel my baby and I are in the best hands with him on our side. I can not thank or recommend Dr. Kittle enough for his outstanding care."

"I had a great birth experience with Dr. Kittle and St. Peter's OBGYN. The convenience of a MFM in the same office was great, and I liked how the practice included midwives and doctors. Every doctor and midwife I met with was attentive and kind. When I brought up questions, they were answered thoroughly and I always felt respected. The nurses and office staff were great as well. I had a lot of nerves about giving birth as a first time mom, and it went so well. I was induced due to low fluid and everything went incredibly smoothly. I would have been comfortable to have any doctor or midwife attend me, and was lucky to have Dr. Kittle, who had followed me through my whole pregnancy. He made sure things progressed as they should and made sure I had the pain management I wanted. My son was born healthy and did great from his first moment. I couldn't be happier with how things went!"

"Great doctor, great pregnancy experience overall from all the MD and nursing teams at the Slingerlands office, and had a supported and safe c-section for my baby who came two weeks early in a breech position after unexpectedly going into labor. Thanks to Dr. Kittle for a great job safely performing the c-section and delivering my beautiful baby."
