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.

Excellent
Dr.Fitz provided outstanding care throughout my 2 recent TKR surgeries in the last 10 months. He explained the process and provided written instructions with all the necessary information.Both of my surgeries were done at the MGB Faulkner Hospital which I also highly recommend as they provided superior patient care. Pain Management and Physical Therapy were both excellent and explained prior to surgery. Dr.Fitz and his team were very thorough and accessible for any questions or concerns you might have. Thank you Dr.Fitz for your expertise.

Remarkable
Dr Fitz took the time fully explain my knee replacement procedure and recovery. Everything he said was spot on. I am 2 months post op and feeling like new. I wish I did this sooner. For anyone considering knee replacement, I highly recommend Dr Fitz and his team.

Dr. Fitz provided detailed information and instructions regarding my knee replacement. His PT program was excellent, including his Force Program for prehab and posthab and having a cycle delivered to my home for after surgery PT.

Highly recommend Dr. Fitz and his team
Other than surgery, my experience was totally virtual and could not have been better. Surgery went very well, ROM physical therapy was excellent, Dr. Fitz' PA Kelly is very prompt in responding to questions. Dr. Fitz answered all my questions during the follow-up virtual visit, explained things well and was interested in hearing about my experience. The Force exercise program before and after surgery is very important. The integration of all aspects of my experience worked very well, and I highly recommend Dr. Fitz.

I was impressed with Dr. Fitz first by a friend's experience and then by comparing his responses to questions to another surgeon's. The difference was stunning. The experience focused on preparation before and after TKR. Friends in the medical field were amazed by my rapid progress. I will definitely seek him our for the next knee or hip as the case may be.
