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, monitors what your other physicians prescribe for various conditions, even when they don't, and puts it all together to help you get better and stay that way!
An extended member of our family became a patient of Dr. Fitzgerald after 30 years of being misdiagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder. The family member had high blood pressure, high cholestoral, and had some personality changes. Dr. Fitzgerald put him on the proper meds for the first time in his life and got him a correct diagnosis of a brain disease which was the cause of his inability to make executive decisions, and now that we understand the problem, we can take proper care of him.
Our employee was having several miscarriages, and the night she was scheduled to have her thyroid removed by another endocrinologist who determined that it was her thyroid causing the miscarriages and told her that it had to be removed, I insisted she cancel the surgery and get to Dr. Fitzgerald. She listened to my advice, went to Dr. Fitzgerald, kept her thyroid, got pregnant, and he monitored her weekly until that baby was born, healthy!
I am pre-diabetic myself and have had many surgeries unrelated to diabetes. Dr. Fitzgerald will send you to the top physicians in the specialized field which you require, and you will know that you will be in the best of care!
I have sent so many people to Dr. Fitzgerald at UCSF. There is simply no doctor today that I can compare to him. My husband, a pharmacist and attorney, who also attended medical school, will not go to anyone else, as his ability to diagnose with great accuracy is rare today. HE TAKES THE TIME to delve into every single detail of what your symptoms are and actually wants you to get better, not just pill-pushing but listening and helping you to alter behaviors to improve your condition.
I hope this recommendation helps guide you to a top notch physician. You will thank your lucky stars you found him! read more
