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.

I was hesitant to see a cardiologist in the first place, when I began having unusually rapid heart beat and fluctuating blood pressure, but an urgent care doctor that I had seen for something else talked me into it based on how fast my heart was beating at the appointment, and having discussed that it has been like that a lot lately, especially since receiving my COVID vaccines. People always say you should "listen to your body", and I did that and scheduled an appointment with Dr. Fisher based on recommendations I had seen. While i'm not looking for a problem, I would not have incurred thousands of dollars in bills if I didn't feel there was a legitimate reason to partake in tests and follow my gut. Although I feel that Dr. Fisher is good at what he knows, he has not addressed my questions or concerns post-testing, offered up any advice for next steps, and has left me feeling stupid for asking. This is exactly why so many people shy away from seeking medical advice. Please do better.

I have been seeing Doctor Fisher for over 5 years for my heart condition. Always had time to speak with me regarding my condition and most recently had my Pacemaker/ Defibrillator put in. I have much confidence in his treatments and will continue having quarterly check ups to monitor my condition.

In my opinion, if you have an easy, straightforward problem that requires no effort to diagnose, then this is the doctor for you. I felt he didn't listen to my problem and he seemed to disregard my concerns and symptoms.
