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.

I was almost 400lbs before I saw Dr. Fitz. He was the most kind and well educated bariatric doctor that I found as I did my research. I am now 4 years post op and 180. He is a great man and I highly recommend him. - Christopher Halas

Wish I could share the fullness of my nightmare-like experience with this man in 2015, but here's a summary within the available space here: he botched a routine appendectomy, which led to a hematoma and a second hospital stay. But just as disturbing was his arrogance and dismissive attitude AFTER his failed procedure that made things even worse. The fact I did not pursue legal action says more about me than him. Stay away at all costs.

Dr. Fitz did both my bariatric and gall bladder surgeries and I had excellent results. He is a great surgeon, skilled in laproscopy
