Fitz-Patrick David, MD, Facp

I feel so fortunate to be a patient of David Fitz-​Patrick for over 20 years. He was referred to my by another outstanding former Straub Clinic doctor, Dr. Phillip Jones, who saw the need for me to see an Endocrinologist. Dr. Fitz-​Patrick also treats my husband and brother. Dr. Fitz-​Patrick, Anna (Nurse), and Delia (Medical Assistant) are extremely competent and a class act. I have been amazed at how well Dr. Fitz-​Patrick remembers what I’ve told him during previous visits – very sharp and akamai! Dr. has enlightened me on several occasions about drug actions. It is obvious that he keeps up to date with medical literature. He is self-​assured but sensitive, humble, and has a great sense of humor. The entire office is well-​trained, kind, and professional. The office is in the Ala Moana Pacific Center, 15^th floor, with free parking right outside 3^rd floor Macy’s. Appointments are very convenient for me, as I’ve seen Dr. as early as 0715. It is no wonder many professionals choose to go to him. I consider my Primary Care Physician as one of the perks to living in Hawaii!

I have a long history with a disorder. He totally ignored the history. I spent 15 minutes with his nurse, and 2 minutes with him. He told me why everything I knew was wrong and then assigned me meds that had failed 5 years ok. As expected, this treatment plan did not work. 5 stars to the Docs that listen to their patients. Not this one.

I have seen Dr. FITZPATRICK for many years. He is one of the best docs I have. Wait time is usually about 15 minutes and office staff is very personable and professional. He always explains what is going on and takes the necessary time for a thorough exam. Parking is free in Ala Moana parking lot, but I am careful to not schedule an appointment during state holidays or during the mall’s busy times.

I was referred to him by my primary physician for further tests. However, he didn’t order any additional tests and I only had him for a 5 minute consultation even after waiting over 1 hour to see him.
While checking in, I was asked to sign forms, authorizing my personal information to be used in possible published research. I refused to sign them and the receptionist seemed to not want to let me have the appt. because I didn’t sign the release form.
This was 2 years ago, and he is on my mind because I was just sent a $ 5.00 bill from the one and only visit so long ago. Why can his staff keep current with billing?

I have had good luck at Dr. Fitz-patrick’s office. He seems to be a very competent physician. He is really great about explaining things and doesn’t talk down to his patients. He saw that I have a degree in Biology, and went into a detailed description about my diagnoses and the plan for my treatment.
The office is very neat
blood work is done in house
nurses are actually good at drawing blood (knock on wood!)
nurse practitioners are just as competent and professional as the Dr
appointment time and time seen are very close to each other
– no long wait
parking kinda sucks… park in the ala moana lot right b4 the building. The buildings lot charges and is super tiny
