Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Fish was very informative and direct with my daughter’s diagnosis. He was a compassionate and kind when the news wasn’t the best for her to hear.

Dr Fish visit
Dr Fish was very personable put me at ease from the beginning of my visit.i has severe pain down my arm which had been consistent for over 3 weeks.i thought it was a pinched nerve. After my exam he said it was bursitis and recommended at cortisone shot. My pain has gotten a lot better and for the 1st time in a month i am almost back to full strength.

Follow up appointment
My visit with doctor fish today was very good as in the past he always listen to my concerns and takes the appropriate course of action to address my problems with the pain I have. He then maps out a treatment plan to hopefully get me pain free

Amazing Doctor!!
Dr. Fish Is very thorough and professional. I thought for sure when I injured my calf, I needed surgery. He diagnosed my torn calf and recommended physical Therapy. I’m definitely on my way to full recovery. I highly recommend Dr. Fish for any orthopedic leg injuries.
