He has ruined so many peoples lives with botched surgeries. He had surgical rights taken away in Frmont until Methodist bought the hospital so he got the back there. An attorney needs to do a group law suit. He left me unable to walk in my 40’s and have a custom prosthetic do to 2 botched surgeries.

I truly believe Dr. Fischer saved my father’s life today. Words can not express my gratitude to him and his remarkable staff. In my opinion, this was a complicated hip fracture and the good Lord himself couldn’t have put my father and his family more at ease with positive attitude and willingness to go the extra mile. Even if the surgery didn’t go in our favor I would rest easy knowing the Lord had the best man on the job. He even worked him in to a otherwise packed schedule.

I wouldn't go to anyone else. I wouldn't let any member of my family go to anyone else. He is completely professional. He has replaced 2 knees, done several scopes on my husband and I, and fixed my son's leg which was broken in 3 places. Plus when the boys were in school, he dealt with their athletic injuries as they popped up.

Dr Fischer did my knee replacement in my 30’s and left me unable to walk correctly. He went back for a revision and it got worse. On the cab ride home with Fremont City cab the cab driver said Dr Fischer left his mom in wheel chair after surgery and since have heard so many other people he has messed up on. Thank goodness he is unable to practice in the Fremont Hospital any more and the hospital bought his surgery center in Fremont also.

Dr. Fischer is a friendly, caring, unassuming, positive person. He takes his time with me. He has been my orthopedic doctor since 2007, and drive from Omaha to see him. Great office staff and medical support staff.
