This Man Was the Best
This is really overdue but this lovely man fixed what Faces Plus/Dr. Steven Cohen did to me, and restored my faith in the professionalism of the cosmetic laser and surgery field. I will always remember his kindness, professionalism, and mastery of the laser field. His corrective treatments (there were multiple) reduced the damage inflicted at Faces Plus, dramatically.

We All Love You Fitzie! We Will Miss You! Please Pray for Him - San Diego, CA
I love Dr. Fitzpatrick so very much, he is a wonderful person. He has done amazing work on me and most of my friends. I have done so many lasers with this man. They all have turned out amazing. If you are going to do a laser, then I would make sure to do your research and go with someone who knows what they are doing. Dr. Fitzpatrick is the absolute best. I believer Dr. Geoff was trained by him but I'm not 100% sure. Right now Dr. Fitzpatrick is having health issues. Please visit

Thrilled with the Results! - San Diego, CA
I had a Fraxel Re:pair Laser procedure done in August by Dr. Fitzpatrick, on my face, neck and chest - and I am thrilled with the results! My girlfriend and I had it done together on the same day, which made it fun. Dr. Fitzpatrick came highly recommended, and if I was going to have something done to my face I wanted the best doctor. I learned that he is recognized around the world for his work with lasers. I was pleasantly surprised when I met him and found out what a down to

hair transplant - San Diego, CA
I had a strip hair transplant on Feb 14, 2013. Dr. Fitzpatrick and his team of technicians did a wonderful job. Carrie his assistant, and Phyllis my nurse, were exceptional every step of the way. The hair has grown in wonderfully. I have my front hair line back, no receeding hair line. It was absolutely worth it! I had been wanting to do it for a long time, but was concerned that it might not work. I wish I had done it sooner. I am very happy with the new hair and recommend

World Class Treatment in La Jolla - La Jolla, CA
After hours of research on the internet, I found Dr. Fitzpatrick, whose credentials were so impressive that I stopped my search and made an appointment. After disappointing results with injectables at two downtown medical spas, I knew that I would have to explore laser resurfacing. Dr. Fitzpatrick's staff was wonderful. Dr. Fitzpatrick provided so much info that no question remained unanswered. The procedure was painless. However, for approximately three weeks afterwards

looking for treatment to get rid of freckles, sun spots, pigmentation and overall skin tone - Amazing Results - San Diego, CA
About 2 years ago I went to Dr. F, looking for treatment to get rid of freckles, sun spots, pigmentation and overall skin tone and texture. He suggested a Mini Fraxel Repair, at low settings, everything went smooth, my skin improved 90% and still is looking great!! I would do it again in a minute, but my skin is still looking great. Dr. F and his team are the best

Mr. Laser God - San Diego, CA
First of all, I am such a chicken when it comes to surgeries, needles, and other things that cut your skin, make you bleed, or artificial bodies and enhancements that can be implanted into your body, so I was always looking for alternatives. Second. It does work if you let the doctor work the magic! I mean it ladies - no whining that it hurts. Beauty is pain! If you want to look great, you have to suffer a little (at least the amount of pain that is, believe me, less than

Fraxel Dual ReStore- Great Result. - La Jolla, CA
I had the Fraxel Dual and Alexandrite laser about a week ago and look great. I had mild melasma on my upper lip, small patches around the eyes and dozens of scattered brown spots. It's all gone and smooth and I love my result. I only treated specific areas and not the full face but I'm shocked to read other reviews stating it was painful. My treatment wasn't at all. I had numbing cream on for about an hour and the nurse blew cold air on me the same time the laser

Fraxel Repair Day 3 - So Far So Good - La Jolla, CA
I just had Fraxel Repair done on 6/7. I also had two other lasers, V beam and Gentle YAG, done at the same time on the same area to treat a red birthmark on most of the right side of my face. I was pretty swollen (I was bleeding some and oozing too) right after and the day after the surgery, however, my swelling seems to be going down by the hour and seems like it will be mostly gone in two days. I am at the itching stage now. I would tell anyone having this done that you
I had my Fraxel Re:pair Co2 laser on 11/21. I had absolutely no pain during the procedure and after. I was given Valium and Demerol before and nerve blocks. The 1st 72 hours were the most horrifying experience. My face swelled up on day 3 to the point I had to call the doctor cause I thought I was having an allergic reaction. I am on day 8 and I can't believe how great my skin looks. I had acne scars on my cheeks and dark circles under my eyes. I am only 34 years old but
