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.

Never Even Examined Me
I went to the emergency room at 2:00am because I was suddenly exceptionally dizzy. I had been very ill for over 2 weeks and I was scared what this newest symptom meant. Dr. Fischer never even entered the exam room. I wish I were exaggerating but he stood in the doorway across the room, asked me at most 5 questions, and then left. When I tried to ask questions or advocate for myself, I was interrupted and then dismissed. This was a free standing Urgent Care ER building not attached to the hospital and I was clearly the only patient there at that time so rushing off to deal with more urgent cases wasn't the reason. He called it a panic attack and gave me a medication. That had nothing to do with my complaint or my symptoms. A day later I saw a primary care physician who actually examined me and I had an inner ear infection, bronchitis, and a sinus infection. She believed all of the fluid in my ear created the dizziness. That doctor did her job. Dr. Fischer did not.
