The Fitzmaurice Hand Institute Reviews ( 159 )

  1. Terrible experience…very expensive and got horrible infection from the surgery that Fitzmaurice ignored…took months for some recovery which 9 months later is still not complete!!!

  2. Everyone was very friendly and gave me a list of options for my hand problem. I was very pleased with my experience and would highly recommend seeing them for a hand concern.

  3. Everything was great. I would have liked to slow down the pace of the time with the Doctor. I do understand he is very busy but I did want more time to explain my problem.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  4. My son fractured his finger during basketball practice–they made the time to fit him in quickly and were extremely diligent and thorough at our visits and aftercare. Thanks!

  5. Dr. Fitzmaurice is great. Dupuytren’s contracture had me so I couldn’t type anymore. I’m able to type again on the computer and I’m a computer scientist so it’s important.

  6. Seems like they are on top of their game. Offered options and insights that other doctors that I’ve seen didn’t mention. Self promotion is obvious, but results of next week’s surgery will be all the promotion they need if it works for me!

  7. After visiting my first hand doctor, and was told with open surgery it would be a 5-8 week recovery, I did some research and found Dr. Fitzmaurice and found out I could have same results with Endoscopic surgery and have minimal down …

  8. Had hand surgery a few Months ago and have to say it was a very pleasant experience and the results were excellent no problems! Would recommend to anyone!

  9. If you want to get the best work done right the first time only Dr. Fitzmaurice Hand Institute is the place to go…. I will not settle for less…Service-Action-Satisfaction-Guaranteed is how I feel with Dr. Fitzmaurice….

  10. Attentiveness and knowledge: Everyone at Fitzmaurice Hand Institute is exemplary at both. It’s nice to be treated like the most important person in the world.

  11. Beware of this place! Total scam. Told me it was $150 to be seen and get xrays of my hand and included a free follow up. Then after the exam they tried to charge me $250 and now they wont give me my free follow up. Its incredible the way we have been treated by this staff. They should be ashamed. Do not recommend at all.

  12. There is not a better doctor then Dr Fitzmaurice you are the best Dr in the world as far as I’m concerned considerate of the patient you explain everything to them you have the greatest greeting and bedside manner than any doctor that I go to keep the good work up will see you in the new Clinic.

  13. My visit was friendly and efficient. It was the first time in two years that a DR had taken me seriously and offered a viable solution…now to recover and get back to tennis. Thanks, KC

  15. My experience was the best. Just returned from a 1400 mile driving trip and no pain or discomfort in my hands. I did all the driving. Very happy with Dr. Fitzmaurice and his staff.

  16. 3 cancellation of surgery since September. He only does surgery 1x a month for Medicare. if you’d like to take a 8 months to get your knuckles and a pinky done come see him! The ring figure I won’t count science it needs to be corrected… Look elsewhere and avoid the stress!

  17. My experience during my procedure was excellent from start to finish. Friendly, helpful staff, relaxing environment and skilled surgeon. I will plan on returning for any future needs.

  18. Excellent doctor and very very awesome staff who love working for dr fit Maurice and all of them are so easy to talk to and relAte to both my husbands carpal tunnel and my arthritis fingers. Our valley is blessed with this greY clinic!!!👍😍 …

  21. I went in for a consult, met with staff only. I was then shuffled off to billing who told me the surgery for my finger would cost $3300 out of pocket. Everything about this place seemed a red flag, so I declined. I was later billed $225 for …

  22. I have had several instances to have Dr. Fitzmaurice’s services and have been very happy with him and his services! Each time I have been in the office the wait has been short, the assistants are very pleasant and the Dr. knowledgeable and pleasant and has helped me greatly!! I thank him!

  23. If you ever use them they are very slow in the office visit.

I went there to see if they could do a minor hand surgery they couldn’t s d referred me out what a waste of time and co pay

  26. My first visit was last October for a trigger finger on my left hand and my second visit was for a trigger thumb on the same hand. Dr. Fitzmaurice performed his magic on both troublesome digits with great success. I had no pain and now have full and painless movement on both finger and thumb.

  27. My experience was amazing compared to my last visit at the Toca Clinic for my arm and hand condition. 5 stars for the entire experience, I’ve already expressed my pleasure on Facebook to my 600+ friends. I’m looking forward to scheduling …

  28. The office staff was great, and the doctor was amazing. My procedure was quick, and I had no residual pain. I would recommend Dr. Fitzmaurice, and will return if I injure my wrist again.

  29. The best of the best is right here in Scottsdale. Dr. Fitz is incredibly talented and he has put together a caring and professional staff that ranges from surgery nurse to back office staff. That’s the winning touch…FIVE STARS!

  30. I was very pleasantly surprised by my first visit to the Fitzmaurice Hand Institute. The staff was friendly and they got me in and out without the lengthy wait in the lobby or the exam room that so often happens in other Drs’ offices.

  31. Received wonderful care in their urgent care. Had some issues with billing and upper management contacted me within 10 minutes and helped me sort out the problem! Very caring people!

  32. Did not see surgeon after my surgery. I received no information. I am totally in the dark here. No advice on after care. No follow up information. Very disappointed with surgeon. Just put in a wheelchair and shown the exit.

  33. This place is unbelievably great! I had trouble writing checks end couldn’t button my shirts up. I called them on a Monday and by Saturday I was able to do all these things. The procedure was painless and surprisingly quick. I wish I could give Dr fitzmaurice and his crew more than five stars.

  35. Dr. Fitzmaurice & his entire staff have always shown a great deal of care, compassion & professionalism. I feel very safe that my injury is being cared for properly. Most of all I know I am in good hands with Dr. Fitzmaurice.

  36. I didn’t have any contact with the Doctors, the only reason I’m doing this is because I got a call from the
    Doctors office cancelling my appointment the same day, starting that they didn’t take my insurance . I waited 8 days and they cancelled at the last minute?

  37. Very organized office with caring people. Surgery went well, very improved at 5 weeks and therapy at location closer to home. I’m considering having the same surgery on my left thumb in the fall. I’m passing the word along to friends who have hand issues.

  38. Just over a week ago, I had surgery for my Carpal Tunnel. Since I am a musician, to say the least I had my concerns. I want to let anyone know who has a career that Carpal Tunnel is affecting, to worry no more! I picked up my guitar and …

  39. My experience was exceptional for the first visit!!! Follow up was a waist of time rush, rush thru visit and another waisted extays, because MRI machine was down!!! They NEVER SENT MRI ORDERS OVER AND NEVER RECEIVED PHONE CALL TO HAVE MRI DONE!!!! Ended up looking on line for recovery!!!! Do not recommend this doctor!!!

  40. We were so afraid surgery would be needed. The Dr was so kind and assuring. My husband is 85 and has dementia . Dr M. Madden was so good and took his time with us.

  41. Absolutely totally happy with Dr. Fitzmaurice’s personality, professionalism, his excellent surgery on my release of tendonitis procedure. I am pain free and it wasn’t invasive really, just a small incision. I would recommend Fitzmaurice Hand Institute to anyone who has hand problems.

  48. I had minimally invasive surgery for thumb arthritis and he seemed quite knowledgeable and experienced. I don’t regret having the surgery done, but just one issue: …

  51. Very arrogant. Terrible communication. My voice mail call and email requesting follow up from initial appointment were completely ignored. Lost 3 weeks of care due to their inoperative equipment and poor choice of referrals. There are plenty of attentive hand specialists in the valley and I found one elsewhere.

  52. I’ve only had first visit/consultation 3/16 but am very impressed with all staff I had contact with. I did not meet the doctor, but his PA Meg answered all my questions fully. They put me at ease and made me feel like they’ve known me for …

  53. 10 Stars. This is how a medical practice should be run! Everyone is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I had joint replacement surgery on my left index finger, which went very well.

  72. I am opposed to any medical experience as I find doctors and their staff to generally be uncaring if not just unfriendly. Not at Fitzmaurice. Everyone including Dr. Fitzmaurice was as nice as can be and all knew their job. I hardly waited …

  73. The entire staff at The Fitzmaurice Hand Institute is wonderful, professional, and kind. My son has had wrist pain for almost a year and after several treatments from other places, finally found relief with Dr Fitz. His research, knowledge, and practice/procedures should be heralded by all.

  74. My experience with Dr. Fitzmaurice has been positive. His bedside manner is great and he is very through in his explanation of diagnosis. I had a procedure last year and will be having another in the near future. The office/technicians are all very helpful and kind. I recommend Fitzmaurice Hand Institute.

  75. I highly recommend not using this doctor, unless you want to subsidize his expensive offices. I went to him for two areas of pain, he diagnosed arthritis and recommended dietary changes and supplements. He took 2 simple X-rays. He charged Medicare $950.
