Patient Reviews
Jan 29, 2022
I visited Dr. Fitzgibbons several times over 6 years for separate issues. I was deeply impressed with how well he explains issues, and provides detailed care/recovery instructions. Very detailed, very informative,... simply exemplary physician. On one occasion, he followed up on one test result after business hours via phone - I felt humbled and deeply appreciative because I felt like I was taking up his well-deserved time off from work. Each time after seeing him, I never felt the need to go to another hand surgeon for a "second opinion". On the other hand, the staff at Germantown office is at times a bit sloppy and mixes up order of patients. On one occasion, I had to wait over an hour because staff "forgot" that I was in the waiting room. Nonetheless, I would gladly see Dr. Fitzgibbons again, because my health is important to me, and I am prepared to go to a good physician and wait as long as I need to to be seen, even in light of occasional inconveniences from staff.
