I found Dr. Fitzgerald (and all related staff) highly professional, personable, and very engaging.
My treatment options were thoroughly discussed, and my post-op visit was also very satisfying.'

Very likely to recommend. This was only my second visit with Dr Fitzgerald but each time he has taken the time to listen to me and provide treatment as well as other possible courses of action.

Dr fitzgerald put my wrist back together after i fell and shattered several bones. The result after physical therapy is i have great range of motion and strength, better than i could have hoped after the accident. It looks good minmal scar. And no nerve or tactile issues. I strongly recommend the Dr.

Found Dr. Fitzgerald to be a physician who cares about his patients and how they feel. He offers alternatives to surgery which is welcomed and only wants the best outcome for the patient. Would definitely recommend this physician to anyone having hand issues.

Excellent doctor. Who loves and true to what he do. He did my 2 years old daughter's hand surgery and he made her as well as me feel at ease every step of the way! He made sure we were both on the same page and I understood everything that was going on. He is trustworthy and cares about his patients. One of the best doctors in CNY! I will recommend him everytime!

-Rita g in Dewitt,, NY | Dec 17, 2016
Took the time to answer my questions ( I always come prepared.with lots of questions )
Also listened to me
This is an art that many doctors don't give enough attention to
Just because I'm old doesn't mean I've deaf dumb or can't remember anything
As a retired counselor I'm schooled to see so many doctors totally ignoring input from patients

-Anna S. Rhinehart in Camillus, NY | Dec 17, 2016
I have a problem with a left little finger that does not bend at the end. The Dr. said I should do therapy and make it bend. It did not hurt before, and making it bend made it hurt fierchly so I stopped trying to make it bend. Surgery was a difficult thing and was not considered.

-Jeanne dunn in Canastota, NY | Dec 16, 2016
Both my husband and I liked Dr. Fitzgerald from the moment we met him. He was a patient listener, sympathetic and friendly. Dr. Fitzgerald did a remarkable job with patient teaching and took time to answer every question I had. I am extremely satisfied with his skill and knowledge as my surgeon. He has a great sense of humor, which helped to put me at ease about surgery and he is easy-going, yet very competent. What a lovely combination! I will definitely recommend him to others!
