Overview

Services

I am a pediatric transplant hepatologist who provides care to children of all ages with a variety of acute and chronic liver disease. My research has focused on children with autoimmune liver disease, fatty liver disease, and liver transplant. As the Medical Director of the Pediatric Liver Transplant Program, I emphasize patient and family-centered care, expanding access to care, and quality improvement. I believe in utilizing patient and family feedback to improve our processes, research and overall care at Children’s Wisconsin.

Dr. Vitola was very knowledgeable and educated me about my son's condition, involving me in the next steps, and answered all my questions.She also got a dietitian to see us right away, which was great. We did not have to make another appointment. My son was able to skip questions and get immediate feedback and be involved in his care.

We are just so very excited that Dr. Vitola is back because of her knowledge in the field that she's in. It has really been helpful for my daughter. Also working with the social worker was very helpful for my daughter too.
