Patient Experience Reviews
Dr. Fitzgerald worked with me as I needed to decrease my BMI below 40. This was difficult related to decrease in mobility and increased pain. I had two injections since April and was able to increase exercise and manage calories to lose most of the weight for him to do the surgery. I felt like I was involved in my plan of care.
As always uh hospital treats me with so much respect and very concerned about my health.
This is my second joint replacement with Dr. Fitzgerald and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome of the process from beginning to end.
He answered all the questions we had. ***

Wonderful experience
Great experience with UH.
Dr Fitzgerald did a good job of explaining the process of the procedure as well through recovery and going home. He was patient and answered my questions. While the procedure I will have is something that Dr. Fitzgerald is extremely experienced with, he is aware that it is my first time going through the procedure, and treated my with respect.
For this appointment, I am preparing for a total knee replacement and I feel Dr. Fitzgerald did a terrific job explaining and answering my questions and concerns.
