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.

Do not trust his robotic surgeries
He failed to suture a hole properly in a simple surgery. Now we are in life threatening mess. Had to go to more skilled surgeons to fix the mess he made please get a second opinion before letting him hurt you.

He did my Trip Bypass Surgery on 08/27/20 was released 08/30/20. Only pain I have is if I sneeze or cough ! I feel 20 years younger . He not only saved my life he made it better. Do yourself a favor and don’t get yourself worked up reading horror stories for this procedure on the internet like I did ! Fitzgerald came in my room every day and asked if I had any questions even Saturday and Sunday! If your nervous and have any further questions from my experience feel free to call or e-mail me Matt Jasicki Matthewjasicki@icloud.com (209). 202-7745 Good luck

Dr Fitzgearld did a valve replacement surgery on my mother. Six years my mother was no longer able to stand and mental awareness started slipping. Upon another surgery it was found the valve was sized improperly and the base of the valve used old base which according to our current doctor is the proper way of doing a heart valve replacement. So much for taking care of your patients.

Ten years ago I noticed a burning in the middle of my chest. A stress test showed problems and a week later further testing indicated 5 occluded arteries. Dr. Fitzgerald operated on me the next day and did a quadruple bypass. He was exemplary in his pre and post surgery meetings. His suggestions and directions were spot on. I can only say how lucky I feel to have had such an able, capable, surgeon. I highly recommend and thank Dr. Fitzgerald. Peter Yegen IV. Billings, Mt.

Dr. Jason Fitzgerald saved my husband's life with emergency surgery. His care post-op has been phenomenal. Dr. Fitzgerald was more than thorough in explaining a frightening and complicated medical situation, procedures, and answered all of our questions. It is very clear that providing the best care possible for his patients is his passion. We highly recommend Dr. Jason Fitzgerald.

Dr. Fitzgerald was not the least bit dismissive as many doctors are when dealing with elderly women. He listened to me, believed me, and cared enough to diligently search for answers. He saved my life!
