- Dr FitzPatrick was very attentive, empathetic and professional during my consultation with him. I am very happy with my consultation.
- No issues with consultation and diagnostic treatment at The Manor hospital with Dr FitzPatrick. The one downside was the difficulty finding a parking space in the hospital car park on the day of my procedure.
- The sort of doctor everyone hopes for: friendly, reassuring, open and clear, and you just know he's brilliant.

- The best compliment I can give is that many people worry about colonoscopy and endoscopy but my experience with Dr. Fitzpatrick evaporated these as it was very straight forward.
- Everything from entering to leaving the hospital was efficient, and quick.
