WELL KNOWN PHYSICIAN RETIRES--Doctor Carl Vitola, a long time family physician in South Jersey, retired last week so he could devote more time to caring for his wife, Eileen, who is suffering with ALS.
Dr. Vitola, a former resident of Gloucester City, is a Gloucester City High School alumnus. After graduating from med school he opened an office in Gloucester City in the 500 block of Monmouth Street. Later he moved his office to Washington Township, Blackwood. He has been practicing medicine for 30 plus years.
Many of his patients were from Gloucester City and Brooklawn. Ask any one of those individuals about Carl, and they will tell you immediately, he is one of the most caring, compassionate doctors they have ever known. \”Carl is going to be missed\”, said Connie Cleary. He has treated our family for many years. You don’t find family physicians like him anymore. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his wife, Eileen.\”
Besides his family practice, he was also the school physician at Gloucester City High School since 1988. Although it wasn’t a requirement of the job, Dr. Vitola would attend the Lions home football games just in case one of the players got injured. He will continue to serve as school physician.
