He did a left reverse shoulder replacement. Completely satisfied with his surgery work, and keeping me informed with pre and post surgery procedures. Always took time for questions.

Dr. Fitzgerald is a very kind and caring f doctor. Went over my MRI and X-rays with me and explained everything so I could understand. Did not rush the visit took his time. One of the best physicians in the Tri-Cities

Can’t say enough about Dr Fitzgerald and the team at TCO. After many years weightlifting I again tore my rotator cuff for the third time and now the long head of my bicep. Dr Fitzgerald put his skills to work and I am back in the gym thanks to him. We are blessed to have such a competent Orthopedic surgeon here in the Tri-cities. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing the best care. Thank you

I wish Dr. Fitzgerald was a General Practitioner, I would go to him for everything. He explained everything so I could understand it. He never pushed me to do surgery, he let me make that decision. Best Dr. I have ever had.

Can’t say enough about how good the care I received from Dr Fitzgerald and the Tri city Orthopedic surgery center. Had my shoulder injury repaired by Dr Fitzgerald which was not an easy procedure due to prior surgeries on the same shoulder. In rehab now and out of sling after 6 weeks and is progressing well. Dr Fitzgerald understands how much I enjoy my sporting activities and how important they are for me to maintain my health. So glad we have him here in the Tri cities and will recommend him to anyone needed an orthopedic fix. Thank you so much
