"Dr Fitzgerald has a very good reputation. I have met him once at my initial visit to discuss me having the Bariatric Bypass surgery laproscopically. He was genuine, honest, caring, and very kind. The Bariatric program OF Sarasota Memorial Hospital was developed by Dr Fitzgerald 3 years ago and is one of the best I found while researching different areas. He is very experienced and has a wonderful, caring staff that are quick to respond to my calls,{which have been many} the nutritionist is wonderful and very caring, the coordinator Patrice is a postop success story ! She is fantastic ! Their upfront fee is 1500.00 that includes the before nutrition class which I can go back to any time for one year. This is basic good nutrition everyone should be doing after the first year or so. I will have a nutritionist that will follow me for 5 years postop as often and as much as I want to use this service..I LOVE IT! She is wonderful! I have had lots of preeducation from them, they have a support group meeting every month! I will be having my surgery in August I HOPE AND PRAY...but for now I could not be happier, with the program Dr Fitzgerald has in place at Sarasota Memorial.Hospital in Sarasota"
