Patient Reviews
Oct 27, 2023
I went in for an extremely infected finger approximately four weeks ago Dr Fitzgerald looked and told me like it was. A few options and a confident professional opinion. Explained very clearly what my issues were and answered every question I had. Next day was surgery and never felt uncomfortable at any moment. His OR staff was the best you could ask for (Even for being the last procedure on a Friday) Very upbeat and positive. Fast forward to next visit and again, nothing but confidence and positive direction. Covered everything that was needed. Todays visit was everything looks great and call if you need anything. The world needs more Dr.s like Dr Fitzgerald! And to all of the SOS staff……..thank for all for your positivity and smiles! It doesn’t go unnoticed.
