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. F gave me my life back! I was in severe chronic low back pain for years, I couldn't sit or stand for more than 15 min without moving or shifting to lessen the pain. After 3 radio frequency ablation procedures, I am pain free. Using a tiny needle, they zap the sensory nerves along the spine that transmit the pain signals to your brain. I am no longer depressed. I work full time, and I am able to be very active again. I am so grateful!

Dr. Fitzgerald has been a tremendous help with chronic pain that was courtesy of a 9 x drunk driver. Prior to 1999 I was outgoing & athletic, all that was replaced with unending pain. I waited 3yrs to see a pain doctor, if you have pain that doesn't stop, don't wait find a pain doctor. My injuries were many & it took longer then I wanted it to to find what worked for me but Dr. Fitzgerald was someone I could tell cared & wanted to help me & he did. Ultimately, Dr. Fitzgerald saved my life!

Dr. Fitzgerald is a wonderful Doctor. He listens to his patients and truly cares about helping them. He is professional, yet personable. He is able to diagnose problems arriving to the correct source of the pain. He has helped my husband and I so much. We can't imagine seeing anyone else to help relieve the pain. We have all the confidence in him in the world.
