FitzGibbons is awesome! Highly recommend

Freindly and knowledgeable

Dr Fitzgibbon's rocks!!

My shoulder feels a lot betwe'll do the other shoulder in four weeks

Dr. FitzGibbon and his tean were very professional, and caring. Thanks to Dr. FitzGibbon I was able to be pain free for over a year as he suggested an injeccion of hyaluronic, I did this years ago and I’m going to do it again. I trust Dr. FitzGibbon

Been thru 3 Rotator cuff surgeries and this was the easiest recovery of all! Great job Dr Fitzgibbons! Thank you!

I appreciate the time and advice I received from Dr. Robert FitzGibbons regarding my knee discomfort. I have been following the stretching as suggested and it has helped. I will followup with another appointment in the future. I highly recommend Dr FitzGibbons for knee issues.

Following a car crash in November of 2022, it was recommended that I see Dr. Fitzgibbons for pain in both my knee and shoulder. Both required surgery and both surgeries were performed by Dr. Fitzgibbons. The timeline schedule for each surgery was much faster than anticipated. The diagnosis for each was thorough and included an expectation of what to expect for both the surgery and the recovery. Follow-up care was scheduled quickly (and often) and a complete expectation of the healing process was discussed. Now, four+ months after the knee surgery, and two months after the shoulder surgery, I am running (slowly and short distances), have full range of motion in both the knee and the shoulder, and have started strengthening the shoulder. My thanks to Dr. Fitzgibbons and the entire Orthopedic and Spine Center of the Rockies team for making this entire ordeal as easy, informative, and "painless" as possible.

Not only is he a great doctor, he has my total trust. His focus is on me, my desire to stay athletically involved. I have had no pain since knee replacement 9 years ago. Now I am experiencing different problems with my other knee. At nearly 77 years old I continue to trust him to keep me going.

He’s replaced both of my knees and now will be doing both my rotators. Excellent surgeon.

Exceptional

Dr Fitzgibbons and his PA Sybil were awesome!

Still recovering, but Dr. FitzGibbons is very aware of the patient. He provided information and helped me choose the best treatment.

Dr. Fitzgibbons and staff are amazing. My daughter tore her ACL, underwent surgery with Dr. Fitz. She followed his recovery plan/therapy and was back to playing the 2022 college soccer season with no issues. I can not stress enough to follow the recovery plan as my daughter has come back stronger and faster thanks to the recovery/therapy plan.

Great Doctor!

Excellent care. Follow up was nice to have. The doctor himself called me on a Saturday to see how I was doing. I highly recommend Dr. Fitzgibbons

Dr. FitzGibbons is straight forward and caring doctor. He personally called me to see how I was doing after my surgery. His guidance and support made it easy to get through the toughest times of the pain. I am thankful to have him as my surgeon.

The best doctor and staff in Colorado! I have had a couple of surgeries before at other locations and Dr. FitzGibbons and his staff were by far the most professional and accommodating. Fantastic after care and follow up. Hopefully I will not need surgery in the future but if I do I will come here.

Extremely pleased with Dr. Fitzgibbons opinion on MRI results on my shoulder. He was right to the point on options for treatment. Staff was also very professional. Recommend Front Range to anyone in need of their services.

I went to see Robert Emmett FitzGibbons, who proceeded to ignore every single thing I said, condescend, invalidate, minimize, and eventually he flatly denied me treatment, which will lead to much more suffering, as it’ll be another week or two to see someone else, and after waiting weeks to see him I am fatigued from constant pain and suffering with no relief. He freely admitted that I might need a surgery immediately before refusing to give me any treatment whatsoever. If you read Andrea Novell and James Filbin’s Google reviews of Robert Emmett FitzGibbons at the Orthopaedic & Spine Center of the Rockies - Longmont page, you will see a pattern with this “Dr.”, going back several years (see also: other medical review sites) - if you check Robert Emmett FitzGibbons' (DR032724) medical license through Colorado's DORA, you will see that he had a medical malpractice case settled against him in Colorado. Beware! https://apps.colorado.gov/dora/licensing/SnapshotViewer.aspx?cid=423103&key=f7ed8aa0-16fc-4d9e-870c-cf15ca406d10

great surgeon, great experience; highly recommended

Dr Fitzgibbons has been our families orthopedic surgeon for close to thirty years. That said, he has done multiple surgeries on our family flawlessly all of which exhibited complete recovery. He and his practice continue to provide exceptional customer service and professionalism. I don’t think of him as a surgeon but as a friend and confidant who has my families best interest at heart always. Dr Fitzgibbons has been our families orthopedic surgeon for close to thirty years.

Great experience. Staff and Doctors rock. Always on time or very short wait. Waiting not bad because Dr FITZGIBBONS never rushes with me and so I imagine someone next might be waiting.

Excellent Doctor. Understands his patients needs and is willing to go above and beyond to make sure you are able to get back to a normal routine with your life.

Actually, I would give Dr. F a 3.5. On the plus side, both times I have tried to get an appt with Dr. F, I was able to get one within a few days. On the negative side, both times I had to wait in excess of an hour for just a few minutes of his time. The first time, it was a late afternoon appt,, so I figured that he had several emergencies. However the 2nd appt was at 8:30 a.m. He didn’t apologize or give any type of explanation for keeping us waiting 1.25 hrs for 5 minutes. On the positive side, on the first appt he gave me a list of things which I could do which might delay or even eliminate the need for a knee replacement. That was very thorough. On the negative side, I had several questions for him on the second appt, and he was edging out the door so quickly that I wasn’t able to get out my questions. I am not able to evaluate him on his skill as a surgeon, as I don’t know anyone who has used him and I am currently going through his ‘check list’ of preventative choices.

Dr. Fitzgibbons explained my options well, and we made the decision to take a more conservative approach in treating my knee pain. I appreciate how he listened to my concerns and gave me choices on how to proceed.

I wanted to go to a physician who understood arthritis of the knee, gave me a thorough review of what he found in the X-rays and my options for care and treatment. Thanks

Dr FitxzGibbons definitely solved my problem. It appreciate his direct approach to the problem. I am doing much better. Many Thanks. Sincerely Judy Menebroker

Dr. Bob has taken care of my family for over a decade or more and always have received the best care possible. The team at Front Range that back him and the other doctors up is deeply talented and professional and thorough.

Been going to Front Range, now, OCR for 24 years, I’ve been a patient of Dr. Fitz for many years. He performed a bi-lateral knee replacement on me 10/28/15. He’s also did a arthroscopy right shoulder replacement. I have all the confidence in the world regarding Dr. Fitz. Our Daughter is now a patient of his due to knee concerns that she=he has.

Dr. Fitzgibbons and his colleagues (I’ve seen a number of them) are great. They are professional, knowledgeable and efficient, and they take the time to converse, with the aim of meeting your goals, whatever they may be. Their PAs are good, and the Center’s X-ray and MRI staff are terrific. Highly recommend this group.

Always great. Very professional and thorough. I've had4 major surgeries here and Dr. FITZGIBBONS did two of them. Highly recommend you to anyone needing Orthopedic help. .

He left the room too quickly for me to clarify what the treatment plan was.

I can't believe I got in so fast. Everyone was so helpful and polite. Will be having surgery soon we will see how that goes. Good so far.

Great service!

Great care and follow up.

Dr. Fitzgibbon and staff have been great.

Dr. Fitzgibbons is very thorough in his explanation of the problem and process.

Dr.FitzGibbons was great! Upfront and honest!

Dr Fitzgibbons has repaired both shoulders. They are both as good as new.

Best Dr ever. Not only is Dr Fitzgibbons is the best he brought my quality of life back. His staff is also the best.

Prompt and effective reception, even with covid restrictions. Dr. Fitzgibbons was good about explaining the circumstances of my injury and expectations during the healing process.

Dr Fitzgibbons repaired my shoulder 3 years ago and I am very thankful He did a great job! I need some knee work done so he was my first choice.

After being injured at work, I was able to visit with Dr. FitzGibbons and plan out a course of recovery. After injuring my other knee several years before, I knew there was no other specalist I wanted to treat this injury.

Dr FitzGibbons replaced both my knees 9 years ago. He is a very caring straight forward surgeon. Recommend him highly.

Dr. Fitz is the best. I had my ACL replaced and I have never felt better. I was really surprised to recive a phone call from Dr. Fitz himself asking how I felt a couple of days after the surgury. He could of easily had a nurse call me and that would of been fine but he took the time out of his busy day as a surgent to call and check on me. Dr. Fitz is the best.

Dr Fitzgibbons is always very professional and thorough. His experience is very evident, and I like the fact that he provides me with treatment options, guides me through those options, and values my opinion to come to a mutual best decision. I highly recommend Dr Fitzgibbons!

Dr. Fitzgibbons understood I had a terribly arthritic knee for over 30 years. He also understood I had many successful coping strategies that enabled me to ski nearly 30 days a year, dance weekly, and keep up with life despite the arthritis until COVID made some of them difficult or impossible. Thus when I said it was time to replace it, he knew I was ready and needed his expert help. We were able to schedule it over spring break, so that my school-employed fiancé could support me right after the surgery, and the several prep steps were carefully planned and scheduled. I trusted Dr. Fitzgibbons because he had already worked inside my knee arthroscopically, and he had also stabilized my shoulder in years past. So I was quite comfortable on surgery day, knowing the anesthesia would work well for me and he would make me have a better knee when he was finished. One of my worries however, was the extent to which several large, stone-like bone chips on the back of my knee would complicate the procedure. He had already chosen the LUH operating room, to empower himself with options for that. I learned after the surgery they ejected much like a “PEZ” machine, and thus my new knee is very happy to be free of those painful impediments. The main surprise has been the pervasive muscle spasms, primarily affecting my hamstrings, which haven’t been this stretched-long in nearly 30 years. Fortunately, my out-patient physical therapist has given me stretching exercises which are quickly mitigating this problem. I only wish they had been suggested sooner! I can look forward to skiing and dancing another 30 years now, with a much more functional and pain free knee, thanks to Dr. Fitzgibbons and his LUH team and physical therapists.

Dr. Fitzgibbons and his team were very professional and caring. I couldn’t have asked for a better doctor to go see when I tore my ACL. They made sure I was well informed , were very responsive , very caring and determined to get me back to where I was before my surgery. Thanks Dr.Fitzgibbons and his team!!

After 24 years, 1 ACL, and now two knee replacements, Dr FitzGibbons has been there for me and my family every step from pre-op, thru surgery, and after care and physical therapy. He’s done a great job and would recommend him to anyone for his professional expertise, follow up and kindness.

He is recommending treatments to avoid surgery and they are working.

Dismissive and rude. Was impatient and barely examined me. Had no interest in my needs or real life situation that complicates injury and recovery.

I made an appointment with Dr. Fitzgibbons this winter after I had a hamstring strain/possible tear on my left knee area. Right away I had X-rays to rule out any bone breakage. Thankfully there was none. Dr. Fitzgibbons was someone who gained our respect after he skillfully did surgery on an immediate family member. He, along with his team faced an emergency situation after a serious car accident. He guided this person on a path toward an amazing recovery after a femur fracture. Dr. Fitzgibbons advised me to follow a course of physical therapy at a facility as well as helpful exercises at home. After several weeks of following his advice I began to feel decreased pain and greater flexibility. I would recommend anyone who is facing skeletal/muscular/joint issues to make an appointment with Dr. Fitzgibbons. He has the educational background and experience to help get his patients back on the road to recovery.

I was late and in spite of that Dr. Fitzgibbons was patient, kind and thorough.

I have trusted Dr. Fitzgibbon with my life for TKR and Rotator Cuff Repair. Excellent care always, and a nice person too!

I am very pleased with the care that Dr. Fitzgibbons has provided for me and for one member of my family. He listens, and genuinely cares. I have a rare disease affecting my bones and cartilage making them easily damaged. I am currently dealing with a very bad knee which will need replacing. Dr. Fitzgibbons injected the knee to relieve pain as I try to prepare for surgery. I am grateful for his caring and understanding.

He’s genuinely interested in providing the best care for his patients and has served both me and my family well over the years.

I tore my ACL and meniscus on an ebike. This was my 3rd accident of some sort requiring surgery and PT. Dr Fitz is highly skilled and knowledgeable. His team and eveyone at Front Range are and arecalso good, caring people.

Terrible patient care by Dr Fitzgibbons.

I did not have an opportunity to ask questions. I left feeling like I had been reprimanded by the dr. I felt misunderstood and wrongly judged

Tried this office based on recommendation from a friend. Filling out first-visit forms on a tablet worked well. Staff was friendly and efficient. Dr FitzGibbons listened well and was helpful.
