Testimonials

What Our Patients Say

"I had the pleasure of being treated by Dr. Fitzpatrick, and I couldn’t be more grateful for his care. From the very first consultation, his military background and disciplined mindset were evident. He approached my surgery with confidence, precision, and a calm that immediately put me at ease. His reassuring demeanor and positive attitude not only helped me through the surgery but also motivated me to focus on my recovery.

Dr. Fitzpatrick’s bedside manner is exceptional—he listens, he cares, and he makes sure you understand every step of the process. His encouragement inspired me to get back to working out and returning to my normal routine sooner than I expected. I’m incredibly thankful for his expertise and compassionate care!"

"Last year (2023) I had a severe rotator cuff injury to my left arm and was in great pain. Dr. Kelly Fitzpatrick explained thoroughly the recommended treatment and performed the operation.

He is kind, gentle, and effective. I love his bedside manner because he is professional, human, and truthful. At each follow-up visit, he explained my X-Rays and progress toward healing. Most of all, I can now use my arm and have NO pain. Thank you, Dr. Fitzpatrick! "

"Went to see Dr. Fitzpatrick for a shoulder injury. At first I was skeptical as I had never heard of him before but he came highly recommended. Very glad I went. He was honest, listened, and his office staff were very helpful. He understood what my goals were and gave his advice for all options to include what he thought was best. He made sure I understood everything about my injury and what to expect with recovery. Hard to find that these days. Highly recommend. "
