Dr, Fisher has been my primary doctor for me and my husband for the past 18years and now for my two boys. He is a doctor anyone can ask for. He takes his time to listen to you. Thank you for all you do sir.

He focuses on the patient's concerns, frequently suggesting simple and practical solutions to a problem. Or he will direct the patient to specialized assistance if needed. I have great confidence in Dr. Fisher and feel better after each appointment with him.

I was looking for a new PCP and called the office to see if he was accepting new patients. Got a "maybe" as the answer and was then asked a number of questions, mainly about why I was leaving my previous doctor; (for a couple of good reasons.) I was told that they would check with the doc and get back to me. It's been a week and I haven't had the courtesy of a return call. I actually don't mind so much if they don't want me as a patient, but to not call back and let me know after promising to do so is very unprofessional.

I wouldn't recommend this office to anyone. The patients are brainwashed. This doctor is nothing less than a cult leader. He and his nurse practitioner are out for blood and money. The staff are very rude, especially the office manager. She is the rudest person there. Anyone can be in practice for 34 years, that doesn't make you a saint. I now have a wonderful doctor whom I am very comfortable with. Take my advice and don't go there!
