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.

Met with the Dr. for first time today; his presentation was beyond my expectations. When dealing with my health, I want and expert who will provide me with what is necessary and not what is convenient. Dr. Fitzpatrick was to the point, thorough, and REAL! He was very objective and comprehensive. Excellent experience for me.

I saw Dr. Fitzpatrick for a general checkup, but I found him to be very unprofessional in terms of conversation while discussing my health. For reference, I am an American woman of color. In between the standard questions you are asked during a checkup, Dr. Fitzpatrick repeatedly asked "where are you from" in reference to my race, and not which American city I was born and raised in. When I finally told him my ethnicity, he continued to ask very ignorant questions about my race, as I tried to steer the conversation back to my health and medical history. This behavior was extremely unprofessional and upsetting.

I have been going to see Dr Fitzpatrick for several years and can only say good things about him. He listens to what you have to say and does not rush you out the door. I have never had a problem with staff, although at times it is difficult to get thru on the phone as they are busy early in the morning.

Dr. Fitzpatrick is the WORSE doctor I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. He is arrogant and heartless. I had high hopes of good care after reading glowing reviews. His office is old, dreary, and dirty. It was a struggle taking my elderly sick homebound mother to his office. I was met with just an ok staff; not friendly. His manner was in a hurried and impatient. He was cold hearted, unkind, and disinterested. Never go to this doctor; even if you're dying. A disgraceful dishonorable man.

I have been to see Dr Fitzpatrick now three times, every time I have had a positive experience. He is very friendly, sociable, patient and understanding, he does not rush you out of the office as a lot of Doctors do. I recommend this Doctor to everyone.

Dr Fitzpatrick, is very knowledgeable, compassionate and friendly. He takes the time to explain everything. Importantly, he also takes the time to listen to what I am saying. His medical advice has worked for me every time.
