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 disagree with the one review I just read. I just had an appointment with him and he gave me a lot of attention and care and explanation beyond his expertise. The medication he prescribed for me is working fine and now I can walk more easily and much of my arthritis pain is gone. His assistant is just as knowledgeable and very comforting. I'd rate Dr. Fischer five stars.

I would not recommend Dr. Fischer to anyone!I was pretty sick for quite some time & saw Dr. Fischer 10 years ago & then was sent back to him recently by my new pcp. I was reluctant to go back to him because he had pretty much dismissed my weight gain & pain saying I had fibromyalgia & some hypermobility & needed to work out. I have since been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis & Hypothyroidism. He did not run the correct tests to rule these out. He had no compassion or empathy for me.
