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.

Surgery and Service Review
Dr. Fitzpatrick performed meniscus repair and ACL replacement surgery on me. The procedure went well and the recovery, now 8 weeks after is doing great. The staff and Dr. Fitzpatrick are very friendly, informative, and helpful. I highly recommend them. Thank you, Mark K.

He's done both my knee and shoulder
Dr. Fitzpatrick replaced my knee in 2021 with great results. When I found out he was also a shoulder specialist, I requested him for that too. At this point, I'm two weeks out from my shoulder replacement and I'm amazed at how little pain I have. He is a GREAT doctor who does great work. He explains everything in a way that us non-doctors can understand. And he spends time with you during your appointment and answers your concerns. I highly recommend him!

Two beautiful knee surgeries
Dr. Fitzpatrick is not only incredibly skilled but also incredibly kind and understanding. From our first meeting, I felt like I was in safe and caring hands. He took the time to listen to my concerns and explain everything in detail, which made a huge difference in my comfort level especially because English is not my first language. My recovery has been even better than I hoped and thanks to Dr. Fitzpatrick I can now move around with ease and am going to start work soon! I’m so grateful for his exceptional care and would recommend him to anyone in need of a compassionate and talented surgeon!

He is a very skilled Doctor.
He has done a scope on my left knee then a total transplant and I have to say he is a miracle worker! I am soon to have shoulder surgery and knowing he is my doctor makes the entire process worth it. His staff is outstanding! Very nice and always available and very efficient. I recommend him to everyone. His bedside manner is superior.

Excellent experience at SWIFT
Dr Fitzpatrick was very empathetic and did a great job preparing me for surgery, as well as what to expect post-surgery. The surgery went very well and I am feeling very confident about the rest of my recovery. His MA is fantastic and both of them are very responsive and great at communicating.
