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. Fisher treated my pack pain successfully
I was in a car accident 11 years ago. The accident was serious - 5 od my ribs were broken, my spine was shifted, I was in pain for months, and my legs and feet were in pain and/or numb. I was planing for that surgery, but the doctor in John Hopniks Hospital told me that in my situation, the surgery may or may not work, and I could take a risk to suffer more pain. Then I met Dr. Fisher. He gave me 'denervation' treatment, which is a quick non-surgeric treatment. But shortly after that, my pain gradually disappeared . 5 years later when the pain restarted, I got the treatment again. Dr. Fisher helped me again. I feel need another treatment now. But a short treatment can keep me for 5 years out of pain, it is worthy it. Thank you, Dr, Fish. I am gald to fined you in this web site since I have moved to west coast and lost in touch with you. I am gald to write this feed back to appreciate your great talent in pain control. Wish you healthy and live long!Cheryl Young

I was a patient of Dr. Fischer's for 10 or 12 years until I moved out of the area. He is a wonderful doctor who recommended the right treatment for a very painful lower back problem, now painless, without pushing me toward surgery before I was ready for it. He also successfully treated other of my less painful aging problems and sent me to the right doctors when a problem was outside his area of expertise..

My Dr. can no longer prescribe.opioid chronic pain management. Referred to Dr. Fischer. The receptionist said only his nurse practitioner prescribed opioids, so I saw the NP. After waiting 2 hours, the NP saw me and said, "We only prescribe opioids to taper people completely off. We do international treatment." I showed my T1 to sacrum spinal fusion with steel rods x-ray. She winced! "What do you do for this?" Nothing that I wasn't a already doing. I asked for a palliative referral. Clueless.
