    Susan Fitzgerald, I'd likely to refer her moving forward to others. She's very courteous and personable, straightforward, and nevertheless has a good sense of care for her service to the patients. I appreciate that moving forward. And she's really not that bad as I thought she would be from the second visit. compared to the first visit. She tends to really be more personable as she gets to know her patients. And I do appreciate that. Thank you.

    My time with Susan Fitzgerald was excellent. She helped me to get my MRI approved and when my pain escalated over the weekend and I called and spoke with the doctor on call, Dr. Fayed was extremely helpful and encouraged me to come in immediately because of what he saw on the MRI and I was able to address the significant pain that I was having and I'm really grateful to both Susan Fitzgerald and Dr. Fayed for that experience.
