Patient Reviews
Sep 08, 2020
I absolutely loved everything he did for me. TRKR, GAVE ME MY LIFE BACK!!! His staff leading up to my visit with him was extremely supportive and explained my options in an easy to understand way. Once I had done more research they were able to get very technical with me and support my replacement journey. I highly recommend Dr Fitzgerald and all of Lakeshore Orthopedic.
