I was saddened to learn of Dr Fitzpatrick's passing and my deepest condolences to the family. I want to share with you my experience with this wonderful, understanding and compassionate man.

Dr. Fitzpatrick was one amazing doctor who helped me over a period of 20 years with a situation that went "very wrong" on my face by a prior doctor.

I'm very sorry for your loss. Though it has been a year since his s passing, that does not mean othe pain will lessen to a tolerable level. In time though the heart will heal.

Love and Peace Dr. Fitzpatrick! You're amazing life inspires me.

I just found this obituary online. Dr. Fitzpatrick treated me, a fellow Atlantan and Emory grad, when we lived in San Diego. He was so down to earth and caring. I am so very sorry for your loss.
