When I went to Dr, Fitzgerald, I was quite discouraged by past appts with several specialists. He listens very carefully, there is no pressure of time, he is already aware of your record and is open to trying new tests &medications. He and his staff are excellent !
Asked zero questions and blew me off as quickly as he could to other doctors. The referral he gave me for my primary reason for coming isn’t even accepting new patients. Complete waste of time and money. I’ve never been so frustrated with a visit to a doctor, and this is not an experience that I enjoy or is easy for me. The staff was helpful, but the doctor seemed to just want to churn through appointments as fast as possible with no interest in actually resolution.
I cannot tell you how fortunate I feel to have been referred to Dr Fitzgerald and his amazing staff. He is a compassionate physician who takes time with his patients and allows them to leave with a sense of everything will be alright....we will do whatever we can to fix it and find the answers we need to do so.I can always get an appointment within a very reasonable time frame- usually within 24 hours. Melanie is wonderful at the front desk. Joan is an amazing NP, Dr Kowalski is another plus to the staff and then there is Dr. Fitzgerald. Amazing man with a heart bigger than he is.I would recommend this practice to anyone. You need to talk to them about the great way the practice is run financially but it is the people that make it so special. The affordability factor is just the enormous plus.Lake Country Private Medical is a fabulous practice.Oh, and you will love Kermit the Frog in the reception area!
Dr. Fitzgerald and his team offer a caring and compassionate environment at which patients feel welcome and appreciated. I was excited that Dr. Fitzgerald presented me with an option for some innovative and affordable testing technology --- something that other physicians have not done. He followed up with a personal phone call and letter to explain results and make sure they were understood. I highly recommend Dr. Fitzgerald.
At Lake Country Private Medical I have the opportunity to build a relationship with Dr. Fitzgerald and his staff. With Dr. Fitzgerald’s view that the best interest of the patient is the only interest to consider and his knowing my medical history, I believe allows for the diagnosis and effective treatment of a given medical condition.The staff greeted me by name when I arrived for my appointment in September. With essentially no wait, I was shown into an exam room by Dr. Fitzgerald. In a relaxed atmosphere Dr. Fitzgerald reviewed the test results of my condition, reconfirmed his diagnosis, and discussed the plan of action with me.I highly recommend Lake Country Private Medical to people that value a relationship with their primary care physician and practices medicine that is in the best interest of the patient.
Dr. Fitzgerald and his staff have recreated healthcare as it was meant to be...patient centered and accessible. If you are looking for an alternative to the productivity-driven delivery of (minimal) care, then try Lake Country Private Medical. You will feel like you matter, that you are being listened to, and that your provider is not checking the clock as you are talking about your concerns. Dr. Fitzgerald is dedicated to you and your health. He prioritizes relationship in care.Bill S.
Ive recommended Dr. Fitzgerald many times and will continue to do so because I feel that he and Joan both are very capable and caring. Ive never felt rushed and always feel free to ask questions and express concerns. This is how medical care should be for all people.
Our family is very impressed with the care we receive from Dr. Fitzgerald and nurse Joan. All of our concerns and questions are always answered without being rushed We are also impressed with the doctors he recommends when another medical specialty is needed. Also it is important to us that they dont over medicate
I think Dr. Fitzgerald is a wonderful doctor and everyone there is so kind.
I highly recommend Dr Fitzgerald, very knowledgeable, professionalHis staff is very accommodating & friendly
