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 Wonderful!
My elderly mother, after repeated hospitalizations, was being referred to one doctor after another all of whom had not had any hand's on experience with her or her treatment. She was eventually "dropped" on Dr. Fischer who was caught flat footed - he initially did not understand why she had been referred to him. But to his great credit, he took the time to access her condition and in our presence reviewed years worth of her electronic medical records, aptly pinpointing the genesis of her current health issues. He declared that she was needlessly being bounced around the system and assured us he would be happy to take the lead role in overseeing her case to ensure consistency in her care. After so much expensive floundering around, Dr. Fischer gave us comfort and confidence that somebody had our backs in relation to her on-going care. We found him personable and profoundly sympathetic about the stuggle in navigating the modern medical system.

Finally found a decent doctor – Oct 03, 2022

Excellent physician and staff
Dr Fischer was personable, efficient and rock solid on his skills along with the anesthesiologist. The staff was efficient at their jobs as well and the environment was clean and inviting. Everybody there was enjoyable to interact with. The powdered prep which you purchase tastes like the Powerade or Gatorade you choose to mix it in. If you’ve been putting a routine colonoscopy off don’t. It’s a day or so of inconvenience but the procedure itself is painless and you remember nothing. Peace of mind is priceless. Do a little research on meal choices for before and after for the best results.

Waste of time and money. Told me exactly what I already knew from my GP. My GP sent me to him because of a change, this Dr. had nothing to add. Did finally send me for blood work but never followed up with results. Will not see this Dr again. Can I leave a Zero star review.

Left no room for questions. I’m only 25 and had to have a colonoscopy.. after my procedure he said I, “probably” had celiacs, but didn’t feel the need to look further. Here I am one year later, with a new doctor preparing myself for another colonoscopy because I don’t trust Dr. Fischer.

Having persistent rectal bleeding & IBS symptoms, I sought a colonoscopy. Dr. Fischer performed it, told me I was fine & without asking about my eating habits told me to eat a high fiber, low fat diet and come back when I was 50. He said nothing at all about my rectal bleeding and his manner left no room for questions. 2 1/2 years later I was diagnosed w/ Stage III rectal cancer w/ a tumor the size of my fist. If I had waited until I was 50, I'd be dead.

I felt he was very knowledgeable and professional. He spent the time to explain things and answer any questions and treatment options. However, he is not very personable during a scope procedure. Still would recommend to family and friends.
