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. Fishman it’s an excellent surgeon. Go prepared with your questions and he has the answers. I would recommend him to friends and family and go back if I ever need orthopedics.

The Nurses and front desk assistants we're incredibly nice and curteous. Dr. Fishman was very to the point, but also took the time to make sure you understood exactly what was happening at all times, as well as making sure all of your questions were answered. It sucks to have a [diagnosis], but they made my [service] experience very fast and as pleasant as something like that could possibly be.

Dr. Fishman knew exactly what he needed to do for pain relief in my knee. Set up laparoscopic surgery at my appointment and was done in two weeks. He was personable and answered questions. So far recovery is going well and I would recommend Dr. Fishman!
