“All the people that took care of me were excellent, total professionals, and very compassionate. Dr. FtizGibbons is a fabulous surgeon; I think the world of him.”

– David C.

 

“Sixteen years after my ACL reconstructions and ankle ligament reconstruction (among other things), 4,800+ skydives, hundreds of ice hockey games, thousands of miles of mountain biking and hiking, countless hours of jet ski, wakeboard and water ski time, and countless snowboard runs … still going strong and as good as before the surgeries. I will forever owe the continuance of my active life to you, Dr. FitzGibbons. Here’s to the next 16 years!”

– Stacey C.

 

“I couldn’t ask for better care than I’ve received from Dr. FitzGibbons and his staff. He listens carefully, explains treatment options and involves me in the final decisions. As a side note, he also cared for my elderly mother (knee pain); I was at every appointment and could not have been happier with the way he approached her care. Top Shelf!”

– Dean S.

 

“Dr. FitzGibbons is great! My left knee swelled up one day and never went back down! I hike, ski and I’m just never sitting still so I desperately needed help. Dr. FitzGibbons went over all my options and explained everything in detail. He never pushed surgery… he just offered his opinion. Dr FitzGibbons went in and cleaned up my knee … removed some arthritis and it’s been perfect ever since!! That was 4 years ago! I’m very thankful to him!!🙏💕”

– Robin G.
