He is passionate about knowing each patient fully and spending whatever time their care requires. The Tritel name has been part of Southwest Florida medicine for roughly 45 of the last 50 years, a legacy that began with his father, Dr. Harvey Tritel, who helped build cardiac care in the region starting in 1973.
