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.

Great Experiences
Dr. Fitzpatrick has always been very thorough and personable. He explains everything very well. I have been seeing him for over 20 years and have never had a single complaint. He is a great doctor and I am thankful for him.

Very disappointed in this practice. My father has been having health issues stemming from RA. He also developed “heart issues”. He saw Dr Fitzpatrick in the hospital. When he got out we made an appointment with his NP. He had a slew of tests in the hospital and his Np ordered more. They called my mom and told her it’s lung related referred to pulmonologist. Went for a second opinion yesterday and Monday he’s doing a heart cath. All tests showed heart issues.

The nurse at this practice left the room and let a 99 year old patient help himself off the examination table with assistance from his 90 year old wife. It did not go well, both fell.

The intelligence of this dr is lacking. After undergoing quadruple bypass surgery, my father was referred to him. Surgeon stated my dad would need a pacemaker however “Dr.” Fitzpatrick didn’t agree. 3 yrs later my father passed away from Cardiac Arrest. The pacemaker was life- or-death for my dad and this man couldn’t see that. I hope this “Dr” is reminded of his inadequacies and should NOT be trusted with the life of your loved ones. Poor bedside manner, always rushed, lack of explanations.
