Medical Director: John C. Pittman, MD, DABCMT
Dr. John Pittman received his MD degree from Mercer University in Macon, Georgia and attended the Pediatric Residency Program at NC Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem, North Carolina with an interest in Preventive Medicine. Dr. Pittman began working as an Emergency Physician and was Emergency Department Director in Rocky Mount and Southport, North Carolina. It was in the Emergency Room setting that he realized how much lifestyle issues — especially diet and nutrition—were playing significant roles in the health of the patients he saw. Prompted by this, Dr. Pittman began exploring avenues of incorporating conventional and holistic medicine with nutrition into a clinical medical practice.
In 1994, he established The Carolina Center, a facility where multiple healing modalities were brought together to help patients with chronic degenerative illnesses. Dr. Pittman is the only local physician fully certified in chelation therapy for the treatment of heavy metal toxicity and only one of six medical practitioners in the state of North Carolina who is a Diplomate through the American Board of Clinical Metal Toxicology. He was recognized by Business Leader magazine as one of their 2008 Triangle Impact Health Care Leaders and most recently recognized as one of Triangle Business Journal’s 2009 HealthCare Heroes.
