Dr. Patrick Joseph Fitzgerald, MD

I am writing this review after I have been patient for a year. This is the worst medical experience I have ever had. Don't go to this doctor Patrick Fitzgerald ,because you will regret it! I should write one star review after first time see him and change a Doctor. I have been to see him for 11times since March 2024. because of excessive nasal discharge and nasal congestion. I have spent a lot of time and energy to see him, but my nose issues has been no improvement. He is very arrogant, impatient and unprofessional. Although each appointment with him takes at least a month. But most of the time he will talk to you for less than 10 minutes. He will even ask you what can I do for you? Obviously, he didn’t review my case History and he forget that he asked me to come back to see him . He will start the Procedure before the anesthesia takes effect, causing me to suffer a lot of pain! There is no written visit record every time, and even after the Procedure, there is no written of post… Procedure care instructions. Because there is no post-operative care instructions, I did not take care of it properly, so one side of the nose improved after the Procedure. Then he told me how to take care of my nose and see him again. Well, I went back for two weeks and saw him again, and he said that my nose recovered well. The fact is that the left side of my nose has not improved at all. He said we could do a second Procedure to fix it.After waiting for another month, the day before the procedure , they called me and told me that they received the wrong surgical equipment, so the surgery was cancelled ! Then I waited for a long time for a new appointment of procedure,When I arrived at the office, the doctor said that your nose is actually fine and you don’t need to do it again! I asked him why I still have so much mucus in my nose , which makes me unable to sleep and seriously affects my life.He said You should do an X-ray first. If necessary, I will recommend you to another doctor for another procedure. But when I went to see him today ,he asked me again, what can I do for you? lol apparently he forgot he asked me to see him for X-Ray results! again, what can I do for you? I said, have you seen my X-ray? He said no. Then he looked at the computer that the nurse handed him and said that everything was normal, and there was nothing I could do for you, because everyone's nose has a quarter of gallon Mucus every day is normal. Then I said I didn't understand something you said , do you have a translator Machine ?He said angrily if you need a translator, you should have asked when you came in, not now! The nurses here are also incompetent (except for the front desk). Usually for a simple referral take a months ,they are not friendly to patients anyway! The worst thing is, they were charge me something they didn’t do on the bill . I hope all of the ENT doctor's and nurses here should go to the Polama health Ramona clinic to learn how do they treat the patients ,all of the Doctors, Nurses, Front desk are so nice, Professional and Efficient and competent!

A superbly trained and compassionate physician.

Dr. Fitzgerald took a thorough history and really took an interest in my problem. He took the time to discuss things. He performed a procedure expertly and narrated every step during the procedure which really set me at ease. Nice guy and great doctor..I'm a happy patient.

An excellent physician in every way. As an advanced stage melanoma patient treated by Dr. Fitzgerald for the first time in 2008, I am confident that his diagnosis and treatment are the only reason I'm here to write this evaluation.

I absolutely love Dr. Fitzgerald! He's a brilliant, well groomed, family man who knows what he's doing! I'm sorry the earlier rater didn't have my experience with Dr. Fitzgerald.

Dr. Fitzgerald has no personal skill set. He is vague, doesn't look you in the eyes to hear your problem and while in the office I felt as though I was talked down to. This is no way to treat your patients.
