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.

Former patient
What stood out the most was his caring for people and the way he treated people I will never forget as long as I live the car the love he had for people all people very considerate always try to keep a smile on all his patients and he was always truthful Sometimes it might not be what a person wants to hear, but he always had a great way of explaining everything. And he was never looking for anything in return. His main concern was helping people and saving lives, and I was hoping I could get in touch with him some kind of way to talk to him and thank him for saving my life in the late 1979 and early 1980 I actually am probably close to my I getting close to the end of my life and I was hoping I could at least get to talk to him one more time and thank him again for saving my life at the time when I was in need if there’s any kind of way that I can get in touch with him I would appreciate a text back to my emailI could contact him and I hope everything is he’s in good health and he is

Worst experience in 60-plus years of life.
This doctor has no compassion for the patient. He's snotty, smug, and arrogant. I will never overpay him again.

He probably saved my life twice! He is very kind and has a comforting bedside manner. I highly recommend him and wouldn't go to anyone else! He prevented a second surgery that was immanent. I refused the emergency surgery and was transferred by ambulance to his hospital. As a result he treated me without further surgery. I would take my loved one to him with no hesitation.

I don't know why he is rated so good, he did surgery and then after the surgery told me he knew it wouldn't work! Then why did he do it? Was in a lot of pain after and now I need more surgery.

Dr. Fitzgibbons is excellent. He takes time to explain everything, answer your questions and prepare you for surgery. I was up and moving following my surgery within the day. I feel great and am continuing to improve everyday. I would highly recommend Dr. Fitzgibbons and his team.
