Alan Pitt, M.D., is a Professor at the Barrow Neurological Institute, one of the country's premier centers of excellence for neuroscience. He has degrees from Stanford University (B.A 83) and the University of Arizona (M.D 88). He did postgraduate training in Internal Medicine, Neurology, Radiology and Neuroradiology.

This approach avoids needless tests, transfers, and worry.

Dr. Pitt was the healthcare representative to the Digital Arizona Council, a group organized by the State of Arizona's CIO.
