Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.
Have always had a positive experience with Dr Fitz and his staff...knowledgeable..caring....contrary to other reviews...wait times have not been an issue...

I highly recommend Dr. Fitz. He is very kind, caring and gentle. I trusted him to the fullest as he gave me my injection in my hip. I was so nervous about it but it didn’t hurt a bit. 5 stars and beyond for this exceptional Doctor!!

Dr. Fitz was very kind and explained what he was doing and why he was doing it. At the end of the testing he gave an immediate overview to help reassure me of what was to come.

For the last 12 years I have had to endure low back pain secondary to torn discs, fracture vertebrae, and spondylolithesis. I have tried many different types of injections such as epidurals and ablations with the PRP injection providing me the most relief. Since my third PRP injection I have been able to do more than I was able to in the last 12 years. Also, Dr. Fitz was honest with me and told me he would not be able to get me back to 100% but closer to 85%.

The actual procedure was much easier then I expected.
I was apprehensive but needed to be proactive because
if the pain but a few weeks after the appointment I noticed
a change. Just had my 4 week post op and I am so grateful
it was successful.

I was diagnosed with severe arthritis in the left hip and after two PRP injections the ache, pain, and soreness is gone. Although I play strenuous sports on a weekly basis the pain and ache is far less now after the activity than it has been in the past 5 years. I would recommend this procedure to anyone else that has this affliction.

After experiencing significant pain to right hip and a diagnosis of bursitis not relieved by a steroid injection and oral medication, I turned to Dr. Fitz for a second opinion. After two PRP injections, my hip pain has gone from a 9-10 to a 1-2 on the pain scale...I am able to resume to daily activities with little pain and I feel stronger and I am enjoying my life and activities again...thank you, Dr. Fitz!!

After spending nearly a year not being able to put much weight on my right leg to do everyday activities and used to being very active I pursued the physical therapy and with little success I decided to do the PRP infusion. The minimal muscle tear was a frustrating injury. After 7 weeks I have just a little pain but I can climb stairs and resume gardening and walking activity. I highly recommend spending the money to have this done. I was advised to continue physical as ...

For about 7 months I suffered with a sore hip which was making it difficult to walk and sleep. I went to see Dr. Fitz and he recommended I try rehab. There was no improvement from that. When I saw him again, he talked to me about the PRP procedure. I had never heard of it and he explained that at this time it is considered experimental, although he had success with it on other patients. With nowhere else to go but surgery, I tried the treatment. WOW! This sounds cr...

For the past 7+ years I have had chronic pain in both hips. Painful to work, climb stairs, and even at nite. Dr. Fitz had given me cortisone shots every 4 months which alleviated the pain temporarily. 4 months ago he discovered I had torn muscles in both hips. He recommended injections of my platelet rich plasma in the torn muscle area. After 3-4 weeks of the 1st injections my pain not only subsided it disappeared. Thanks to the PRP I now am living a much fuller pai...
