Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Fitzsimons listened to what I had to say. She really listens. Makes me feel like a person not a number. I like her a lot, she really knows her stuff. I wouldn’t trust my kidneys with anyone else.

I felt very comfortable with Dr. Fitzsimons. She explained the issues, and was a good listener. However, the only issue I had recently was that I called for an appointment, due to having some pain for the first time and made an appointment. I called in February 2016, and the first time I could get in was scheduled for July, 2016.
