I absolutely would NEVER recommend Mr. Fitzgerald to anyone!!! When I go to a doctor I typically go with the thought that theyre a "caregiver". You can imagine my humiliation, disgust and fear when after waiting for over an hour and a half (and I had an appointment) I was threatened by Mr. Fitzgerald from across the office just because I asked "how much longer the wait would be". Mr. Fitzgerald said, and I quote "Im going to punch you or anyone else in the throat if Im asked one more time, how much longer the wait will be". I was in shock to be spoken to by anyone like that, let alone someone with the title of “caregiver”. My 13 year old daughter (who was waiting in the exam room with me) was very upset and frightened because she thought her mother was going to get punched by, not only a man, but someone who calls himself a doctor. Then he comes into the exam room within minutes of disrespecting me and asked me if I thought it was appropriate to "hunt down the doctor and ask him how much longer the wait would be". Well seeing that I was heading to the office to talk to a nurse when being confronted by him, I would say the only one who is/was inappropriate is Mr. Fitzgerald. He then proceeded to tell me that I was no longer welcome back to his office and he will no longer see me as a patient (as if I would ever go back after that). At this point I was humiliated and crying as I walked to the lobby where my boyfriend was waiting. Naturally my boyfriend asked why I was so upset and as Im trying to explain what happened Mr. Fitzgerald comes racing out the front door and then threatened to call the police on me "if I cause a scene". This was the most bizarre behavior I have ever witnessed by someone who should be deemed a "professional". I still can not believe that all of this, my daughter being traumatized, me being humiliated, threatened and then told to never return was all generated from a questions as simple as "how much longer the wait would be".

ATTENTION THOSE THAT MAY BE INTERESTED IN VISITING THIS DOCTOR. Dont. I have never seen this doctor personally myself, but my mother does. This man is not a doctor but rather a drug dealer. He writes prescriptions like he is handing out Halloween candy. My mother is now ADDICTED to a prescription medication called Tramadol and Xanex. Every night I have to watch my mother struggle to keep her head up at the dinner table, slur her speech, fall asleep while even making a salad and has become a danger when driving because of these medications. My mothers best friend that was concerned by the issue and drove down to visit had found her asleep on our kitchen floor one night! I have a little sister that came to me crying because my parents are now separating due to my mothers addiction to pills she should have NEVER been prescribed. It may be easy for this man to sign a small slip of paper but he does not have to come home nightly to what has now destroyed a once happy family. I hope someone reads this before they decide to seek treatment from this man. Drug addiction is a very serious issue and I feel that my story can impact someone before they consider being GIVEN a script from this doctor. Know your facts about the medications you go to use. My mother might be relived of physical pain, her family and friends now suffer from the emotional pain of seeing her the way that she is now.

My experience is threw my son. I have 3 sons one daughter. I see my eldest made a post here also. For the past several years this so called DR. has written prescriptions for my son for cancer which he does not have. My son is addicted to prescriptions via this licensed drug dealer in my opinion. Im guessing he gets a free paid vacation from the pharmaceutical companys for pushing their drugs. Their is another doctor in the area that is doing the same thing. The authorities have been notified, but you know how that goes. Hes got a license hanging on the wall. Trust me when I say its a tough haul dealing with an addict. My son has no illness that requires stage four cancer meds. Every effort will be taken to stop what is happening. It will continue until folks wake up and checking their "Drs" out. He is not the only one in the area. we are gathering details on another one even now. No Dr. should be giving anyone without 4 stage cancer a medicine like that.I cant say much more at this time. Sorry I wish I could. This is strange in order to make this post I have to rate it. This post is real from a Dad. So Ill rate this post only because of the post not the sawbones so called Dr.

Dr. Fitz has been my Dr. For several years, he is absolutely the best Dr. I have ever been to and will always be my Dr.! Years ago I became very sick; I was misdiagnosed by several Drs it was a nightmare, then I went to see Fitz and he literally saved my life! With out him I would not be here today! He is very funny and has a personality that some love and others learn to love but he is a genius when it comes to autoimmune disorders and has always taken the best care of me,my husband and daughter. He really cares about his patients! Dr. Fitz was the only Dr. that not only listened to me but helped me by sending me to the best specialists for surgerys etc...any time I was ever in the hospital Dr. Fitz would come see me and my husband to check that everything was ok and I was getting the best care. I am forever grateful to him, Michelle and Dan who have worked for him for years! Fitz was the only Dr. that gave me answers, provided me with a diagnosis and helped me! I am very thankful to have him as is my husband, when we go to his office its like going to see family we really love them all!

Dr. Fitzgerald is an amazing doctor who has taken care of me for years, when I was younger, I was sick every two weeks with fevers, horrible coughs, and repeated cases of Bronchitis and Pneumonia. Even had Mono twice. I missed tons of school due to repeated bouts of illnesses and no one could figure out why. I underwent every medical test possible, including repeated visits to All Childrens, from blood tests to CT scans to a spinal tap. Finally I went to an Infectious Disease doctor who still could not figure out why. Then I went to Dr. Fitz who recommended I needed my tonsils and adenoids removed. After the surgery, my health became much better. Amazing how tons of doctors could not figure it out. Dr. Fitz is a caring man who has always taken great care of me, and is a compassionate and intelligent doctor. He is a medical professional who prescribes and treats his patients in the best way possible. Anyone who is looking for an amazing doctor should look no further.

I was looking for a doctor because mine retired. At first I thought he was nice but did not like every time I had an appointment he would always talk about himself. He never would talk about the reason I was there. Then he would come in the exam room for 30 seconds babble about whatever and leave and tend to another patient. I had X-rays and a MRI of my back. Made appointment to get results of the MRI. Sat in the exam room for an hour. He came in and babbled about he was right gave me a picture of a man from and back and told me to mark wheremy back hurts. He walked out and started with another patient. I was upset and left. This is NOT how a doctor treats patients. He is the worst I have ever been to and will not ever go back. What a quack.
