Long time Dr, always has time to listen
Self-verified patient of Dr. Howard A Fishbein - Posted on August 1st, 2019
I have had Dr Fishbein as my PTP for over 20 years. He has always been a good listener to my problems, provided me with what I needed and helped solve some confusing questions. While I don't always see him in the office, his PAs Alison Omel and Tamra O'Nan are great! They have the same attention to detail as he does. And I feel 100% confident when seen by either of them. While I sometimes find it frustrating to get appointments, I don't feel unwanted or overlooked. I would recommend him to a friend.

Dr. Fishbein's Physician Assistants, and medical staff are impeccable, with exemplary work ethics and totally dedicated to their medical field and patients. He and his medical team and staff are outstanding consummate professionals, committed and involved in referral to specialists, bloodwork, or for XRays or whatever is needed to fully evaluate each patient. The entire team of professionals, are cheerful, thorough, kind, highly skilled, return calls, follow-up, schedule appointments and etc. Whatever we need, this group responds and timely!
