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. Fitch is an amazing doctor! He exhibits great care for his patients.

I did not think my problem was serious enough to bother an orthopedic surgeon, but I was referred after a walk-in clinic visit. I appreciated that Dr Fitch took my problem seriously even if it is fairly minor.

I was having problems with my knees, hip and foot. He took xrays and explained what the problems were and what exercises to do. He also is doing an injection in 3 visits for my knee & has improved 100%. For the hip it is bursitis & he referred me to physical therapy
