Choosing a specialist could be daunting as there are many things to consider with very limited information, I have been very lucky to find Dr Michael FitzPatrick. From the first interaction, it was clear, he was a good listener, professional knowledge and a sympathetic doctor. The testing and diagnostic procedures, I needed to have, were explain in plain language, scheduled and executed smoothly, results, questions … all was delivered on time and with time for questions. I felt in very good hands and I am grateful for it. Thanks

Dr. Fitzpatrick yesterday evening at the Manor hospital, 13th May, reviewed the result of the .Barium Swallow I had had two days previously due to my condition of Esophogeal dysmotility. His description and recommendation for the treatment was very clear and helpful. Am sure his style of communication is equally helpful to his other patients.

I had a really good experience with Dr. Michael FitzPatrick and the staff at the Manor Hospital. Prior to the appointment I was given all the information I needed and the staff was able to reassure me and answer questions I had. During the consultation I felt like my issues were taken seriously and that I was listened to. I had done a few tests prior to this appointment and Dr. FitzPatrick did not want to take more tests as it was not needed, meaning he was patient focused and not having unnessecary tests done to make more money. He also made sure to answer all my questions and concerns and I did not feel rushed. Following the appointmet I received a follow-up letter detailing what was discussed during the apppintment and a clear list of what to do next. Overall, I would recommend going to the Manor Hospital and to Dr. FitzPatrick. I will be going back if I need more help.
