Patient Experience Reviews
Dr. Fitzgerald was excellent, as was his staff. ***
Everyone was very kind & professional
All good. Excellent, kind doctor. He went out of his way to make sure all my questions were answered. The only negative was the lead time to get an appointment

Very good doctor, my visit went exactly as I had hoped!
Dr Fitzgerald is the BEST!! His concern for me is greatly appreciated
All was great
My last visit with Dr. Fitzgerald was immediately following hip replacement surgery. I was still groggy when he came in to check on me so most of my answers refer to the office visit prior to surgery. All of my appointments with Dr. Fitzgerald and his staff were very satisfactory and that is why I chose him to be my surgeon, after vetting three other surgeons! His staff continues to promptly answer my medical questions as I recover from the surgery.
Very good outstanding
Dr. Fitzgerald is awesome.This is my second hip from Dr.Fitzgerald.Great doctor.
Dr. Fitzgerald did knee replacements on both knees. All went well. Both knees are functioning well now and I'm very thankful.
Dr. Fitzgerald replaced my left hip; now he's doing my right hip.
*** Not only is Dr. Fitzgerald really good at what he does, he is really into his specialty- it is more than just a job to him, which is very important when it's you he's working on! And, he cares enough to take the time to listen to endless questions and patiently give you explanations even when he is very busy. He is the real deal.

This was my first appointment with Dr Fitzgerald. I would have like to spent more time with him since he will be doing my surgery next year. It was hard to check him out in a short period of time. I however understand he couldn't spend more time because the office was very busy on this day.
