Visited Dr. Fitts for an umbilical hernia and proceeded with surgical correction within weeks of the initial visit. I was amazed at the skill with which my repair was done. I was pain free from the moment I emerged from anesthesia and haven't had a stitch of pain since. I hope to not have to seek surgical care again in my lifetime, but if I do, I am calling on Dr. Fitts for sure!

Drs Fitts and Morrison were compassionate, caring, and devoted to caring for my father. They answered all of our questions, had excellent bedside manner and continuously followed up with us on Dad's progress.

Hands-down the most caring and comprehensive doctor I have ever encountered. I could not disagree more strongly with the other reviews listed here. My experience was nothing but positive, and I could not speak more highly of him or his expertise.

He came highly recommended. He did not meet with me the day of surgery. Did not see me after the surgery. Did not see me prior to my discharge. Staff at his office was very rude. I would not recommend him to anyone. He has no concern for you or your well-being. Been over a week since surgery and I still have not heard from him or his office

I saw Dr Fitts for a hernia. He palpated it and said "there's something different here on the left", but didn't say what. He then got sidetracked on an old surgical scar that wasn't even remotely near the source of my pain. He recommended a CT scan for kidney stones (which I chose not to get) of all things and sent me off. I later found a real hernia pro who diagnosed my problem without any expensive imaging, and just got right to the fix. Dr Fitts is exactly what's wrong with our medical system - just trying to beef up the bill with expensive unnecessary tests, when he clearly felt my problem with simple palpation and could've proceeded from there. I spent another month in unnecessary pain until I found someone who still practices actual medicine. Don't trust this man.
