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.

Absolutely Awful at Wound Care. Don't Use
We waited an hour to see Dr Fisher. He looked at my husbands wound on his foot, said it was healing and put a band-aid on it with no wound cleaning or medicine. We just moved here and had a wonderful wound care specialist there. So disappointed

Bad experience
Not a good experience at all! After months of chronic heel pain due to Planter Fasciitis, I explained to him all the treatments that had been done and I requested a cortisone shot. He refused to give me one, instead trying to sell me a brace and orthotics. I left in serious pain, will NEVER go back to him again!!!!!!

Snapped Achilles tendon
I severed my Achilles tendon on a Monday and Dr.Fisher operated on me the next day! He communicated well with me and the operation went well. My recovery was amazing. It happened in April 2021 and I was dragging a bear out of the woods in September!! I can't say enough about how well I was taken care of by him and his staff. I totally recommend him.

Outcome was Sepsis and a destroyed foot
Dr Fisher recommended what was supposed to be a routine and minor surgical procedure on my foot to shave off a small amount of bone. At this point I had no open wounds and had very good mobility, I routinely hiked for 5 or 5 or 6 miles with no problems. On April 25th 2023 Dr Fisher performed the surgery, a week later I was in the hospital with sepsis from a staph infection that was contracted during the surgery. I was in the hospital for more than a week and had a PICC line for IV antibiotics for 4 months. I almost lost my foot and part of my leg due to the bone infection that was incurred. My right foot is destroyed at this point and cannot feasibly be rebuilt. This is now a problem I will have to deal with for the rest of my life. On top of this I have thousands of dollars in medical bills. I still struggle with after effects of the sepsis which has a severely impacted my stamina and ability to enjoy life. Absolutely the worst experience in my life.

Great surgeon!
Dr. Fisher has fixed many issues that I've had over the years. He is direct and to the point but also has a great bedside manner which I appreciate. He did a good job explaining everything to me as well. I definitely recommend Dr. Fisher and his staff.

Best experience
I've had multiple surgeries all over the country. This was my foot's third procedure. The whole process from beginning to end was professional, easy, with no waste of time. No matter what your orthopedic issue is, you'll be in excellent hands with Dr. Fisher.

Dr. Fisher and his staff are very efficient and give quality care. I had surgery on my foot in October 2022 and they were very good. I would recommend them highly. I will be having my second foot operated on by Dr. Fisher in the near future.

From start to finish I had a fantastic experience. A rather severe pain in the ball of my foot prompted me to make an appt. with Dr. Fisher, who then patiently explained that the pain was directly related to my bunion. In a timely manner bunion surgery was scheduled....my first ever surgery, so I was a bit nervous. The entire staff was very professional, kind, gentle, and reassuring. I'm already looking forward to repairing my other foot!! Highly recommend Dr. Fisher.

Awesome Dr. Fisher
40 years ago my foot was crushed. The instant Dr. Fisher looked at it he knew exactly where to inject Cortisone to get me relief until I could find time to do his recommended surgery. At the Surgery Center everyone was efficient and knew their jobs. When I woke up after surgery my foot didn't hurt anymore and has not since. Amazing considering he cut two bones in half to straighten them with plates and pins added. Just awesome.

Happy Metatarsal Repair
Dr. Fisher is an expert in his field. Moreover, he is a kind man and cares you understand what is happening to you! I had been healing for almost a year from Planter's Fasciitis and went for a walk when the pain in my other foot began. The foot doctor I visited did not wish to xray and called it a pulled tendon. Eventually, over some months of pain and unanswered questions, a friend recommended Dr. Fisher and my PCP referred me to him. I had a little fracture in my fifth metatarsal and the tendon was torn. I saw Dr. Fisher and he explained what was going on. He performed surgery. I am healing 3 weeks after. I am doing well. Dr Fisher is extraordinary in his patient care delivery. He and the medical staff have the patient care and delivery of services down to a fine art. They know exactly what they are doing from the pre-op information and instructions to post-op and a home phone call checking on you. I could not be happier with the decision to remove, repair, and re-attach surgery!

assistants spent more time talking to each other than following Dr. Fisher's directions. After 2 months, I called the office asking why the orthotics haven't arrived when I was assured they would be finished in 1 week. Dr. Fisher himself was nice enough but I wouldn't recommend the office.

Dr Jonathon Fisher is very knowledgeable in his field. Took my foot x-rays and recommended a revision from previous surgery, scheduled my surgery in a timely fashion. Very pleased with the results and professionalism of MD and his staff in office and surgery center staff. Would highly recommend him for your podiatry needs.
