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.

150th Heart Transppant Via Christi Hosp Wichita KS
Fr. Fischer did a heart transplant on my wife Berneda Miller of Garden City KS on June 29, 2004. Today we are celebrating her 19th Birthday. Hooray! Thank you Dr. Fischer. Dr. Fischer also did 2 other heart transplant the same week. A record for the hospital. Sincerely, Mickey Miller 622 Fleming St Garden City KS

Dr. Fischer performed a 5-way bypass on me way back 18 years ago on Christmas eve!! He was excellent then with his professionalism and I have no doubt that he remains the same committed Dr with his patients as he did back then.

Dr. Fisher is an extremely capable heart surgeon. He performed an open-heart surgery (quadruple bypass) on my husband without using any blood. He is very respectful of his patient's wishes. He cares a lot. Everyday he checked on my husband in the morning and in the evening. I strongly recommend this professional to anyone who needs open-heart surgery or any other procedure related with heart and lungs.
