"My first impression of Dr. Fitzer was he a tell it like it is type of Dr. no candy coating anything or being suoer friendly!! As soon as I got to know him that wasn't a bad thing because I'd rather have a dr. that wasn't just friendly but knew his stuff and had great reviews and wasn't afraid to tell you the truth no matter what it was and if it hurt...His office staff is great they are always there for you no matter what and super friendly and down to earth...I'd recommend him to anyone but I would tell you if you don't want to hear the truth or you want him to tell you in a round about way forget it, It's not happening! He emphasizes after diet to a "T" and if you can't answer a simple question about the most important thing to do for after surgery don't expect to go home when your supposed to...He was very upright and forthcoming with ALL of the risks for surgery...His surgical competence is better then bedside manner but once again I would rather have it that way!! Yes the aftercare is very important to him and his staff so be prepared to follow up often!! Thanks Dr. Fitzer for giving me a new chance at life!!"
