Dr. Fitzgerald is simply the best doctor I have ever had. He has cared for my husband and me for 15 years, and I am so grateful for his constant concern and attention to detail. To say he is highly proficient and professional hardly describes the way he listens and asks questions...never leaving a stone unturned. He has cared for my Hashimoto's thyroiditis and other autoimmune problems, and has the keen ability to know what the slightest deviation in the lab tests mean, and makes the proper adjustments.. Nothing is too small, or insignificant.
Above all, he has the highest integrity

This doctor charges $800.This does not include blood work. He does not know anything about natural hormone replacement or about diet except for what I told him. "What is Naturethroid?"!! He does take a lot of time listening to your history, but he seems to like to chat. When it came down to the examination he went straight for my breasts!. I was so shocked and told the nurse outside that his exam was inappropriate and that he should be feeling my thyroid and testing my reflexes. He is old and incompetent. Should have retired years ago! He knows nothing about Hashimoto's disease and

Dr. Fitzgerald is the nicest doctor I have ever met. He sincerely listens to your symptoms and does what he can to leave no stone unturned. Appointments with him are not at all rushed like a lot of others clinics. The experience I had was more than pleasant, and I would gladly recommed him no matter what age you are.

Dr. Fitzgerald is the most thoughtful, warm, and thorough doctor I have visited. My first visit was two hours long (which they told me to expect ahead of time, of course, so no problem.) My second visit was about one hour. Both visits were almost 100% actual face time with the doctor: no waiting, no rush, and no wasted time.
It's incredible how much you can cover in an un-rushed visit with an exceptional physician. We were going over an array of symptoms, previous tests, medications, and Dr. Fitzgerald delved into the details like a scientist, but with the compassion of a really good friend

I have been a patient of Dr. Paul Fitzgerald for many years. Before becoming a patient, when my mother became diabetic, her cardiologist at UCSF recommended Dr. Fitzgerald as the best doctor in the field of diabetes. Dr. Fitzgerald truly saved my mother's life, and she was able to live with diabetes until 90 years of age. His care of her was more than impressive, even outstanding would not cover how caring and devoted to his patients this physician displays. He is a "full body" doctor who can combine all that ails you, treat you medically, knows and understands drug interactions

I've been a patient of Dr. Fitzgerald for more than 25 years (actually approaching 30 years)...since I was a teenager. Over the years I've recommended Dr. Fitzgerald to many people, and all have thanked me for doing so. As one of the other reviewers noted, in addition to being one of the world's best at his specialty, Dr. Fitzgerald is a doctor I can rely on for a wide variety of medical advice. His practice is small and very personal, and is about as un-corporate as you can get in this day and age. This is my first yelp review, and I started with Dr. Fitzgerald because I knew

Dr. Fitzgerald is the essence of what it means to be a physician. When I first consulted with him I was suffering from hypo thyroid and the symptoms of fatigue, depression, and weight gain were making me miserable. I had consulted earlier with another physician who didn't seem able to help, and by the time I met with Dr. Fitzgerald I was quite despairing.
What made Dr. Fitzgerald's approach so unique is that he employed his interpersonal perceptions of my medical presentation -- in other words, he was as interested in my subjective experience as he was in the hard data of the blood

Remember way-back-when...when your doctor actually took the time to get to know you? The kind of doctor that you could actually depend on to be the "quarterback" of your medical care? Well, Dr. Fitzgerald is the real deal. He is not only incredibly knowledgeable in his particular field of expertise, endocrinology, but has given me great medical advice on general matters as well. Most importantly, he really listens to all of my medical concerns and is very thorough in taking into account my entire medical profile. He takes it upon himself to communicate with my other doctors to
