A very kind, considerate and through doctor. Bedside manner is outstanding. Concerned about you as a person and all other factors of your medical history and condition. Considerate of your emotional state also. I am having possibly facing surgery again and I am seriously considering driving to Birmingham to use Dr. Fischer again. I would definitely recommend him to others.
