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.

My PCP FROM 1991 - present
I have had many visits with Dr. Fisher since 1991. We are a team when it comes to my healthcare. He listens, advises, responds. I trust his guidance. He is kind & caring, thorough & efficient. He responds timely to My Chart messages, - often within hours same day. I believe we have a relationship based on mutual respect & trust. Very competent & dedicated family practice physician.

I wouldn't trust my worst enemy's meanest dog to this man. I don't need to include identifiable details, but suffice it to say I know I'm not the only former patient who has experienced Fisher at his worst (just his normal daily physician behavior - he's that bad) and would prefer to go without a PCP than see him. He appears too busy, always hours late, unable to politely listen to a patient describe symptoms, and hasty to make treatment decisions. Is zero starts a possible rating?
