Dr. Stuart James Fischer, MD

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to Dr. Stuart J. Fischer and his amazing staff at Summit Orthopedics and Sports medicine (33 Overlook Road, Suite 301). Several years ago when my left hip needed surgery, I went to Dr. Fischer for the replacement and he guided me through the process. So, when my right side started bothering me at the start of this year I knew exactly where to go. Dr. Fischer is a master of his craft and a brilliant surgeon. Everything he explained to me happened exactly as he said it would. Nothing can take the place of years of experience and knowledge. There's a feeling of comfort that comes with his expertise and confident manner. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Fischer and everyone in his office and could not be happier with the outcome. I highly recommend him to anyone who is seeking help or consultation with any related ailment.

Made offensive gratuitous statements about my current surgeon and care team at a renowned orthopedic hospital, clearly envious of their reputation. Unattractive disposition. He couldn’t get my MRI or CT images to open. Was focused on fishing about my finances rather than my medical issues. Total waste of time.

Could not be more happy with the results of my TWO knee replacements over the past year. Dr. Fischer and his staff made the process easier than could have been expected and the Overlook Medical Center is the best hospital that I have been in (unfortunately I have been in quite a few). Dr. Fischer knowledge and his technique for knee replacements have even impressed my physical therapists. Highly recommend Dr. Fischer and Overlook Medical Center.

I recently had a total hip replacement done by Dr. Fischer and it was a excellent experience. I appreciated the time he spent with me before the procedure answering all my questions, as well as his calming demeanor throughout the whole process. Dr. Fischer's office staff is also very thorough and professional as they helped me clear a number of pre-surgical hurdles in this COVID-19 environment. Definitely a five-star experience !!!

Highly Recommend

The doctor did not allow me/patient to view my xray. He gave no instruction on how to treat what he defined as a "tarsal ligament sprain". He did not order an MRI for further evaluation of serious pain upon palpitation. I requested the office notes and the instruction on those notes is "treat symptomatically" as if a lay-patient knows how to treat a "tarsal ligament sprain" without the doctor advising. I will follow with a knowledgeable and caring orthopedic and may return with relevant information to Dr. Fischer

My longtime orthopedist referred me to Dr. Fischer when I needed hip replacement surgery. I'm so very glad he did. I found Dr. Fischer to be both extremely knowledgeable and very caring. He took the time to explain the surgical procedure in detail and answered all of my questions thoroughly. The surgery itself went flawlessly and I was discharged from the hospital the same day. I've also been impressed with Dr. Fischer's follow up care. When I suffered some problems from some over-aggressive physical therapy, he saw me in his office two hours after I asked to see him for a consultation. He truly cares about his patients. I would recommend Dr. Fischer to anyone needing orthopedic surgery.

Dr. Stuart Fischer is a surgeon amongst surgeons. He did not push me as his patient to immediate surgery instead He provided me options to consider before even discussing surgery and advised that surgery had to be my decision and should be talked about with my family. i discussed it with my family and we weighed my options since I had utilized pain management and physical therapy and opted for surgery. I underwent two total hip replacements seven months apart and it was the best decision I made in choosing Dr. Fischer. He and his staff ensured that I had all the necessary services in place that would assist in my recovery. While I am a little over three month out of my last surgery and close to a year on the initial one there has been such a relief from pain. Did I mention he has a sense of humor also but seriously I highly recommend Dr. Stuart Fischer especially if you believe you would appreciate a physician that provides options if warranted (every case is different) before… surgery.

Dr. Stuart Fischer and the Summit Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine(SOSM) staff are phenomenal. I ruptured my left achilles and called multiple offices for my initial check up. SOSM was the only office that scheduled me in immediately. Staff is extremely helpful, overtime they would know me by name. As for Dr. Fischer he’s a great doctor. I previously ruptured my right achillies 6 years ago and had it repaired by another doctor. That technique left a very large scar. Fortunately, Dr. Fischer’s surgical technique to my left achillies minimized my scaring by 50%. Within 4 months I regained my full mobility due to his expertise and technique. Above all Dr. Fisher was a very personal individual who can speak to many topics. I enjoyed our countless conversations about history. Again, both SOSM staff and Dr. Fischer are phenomenal, highly recommend the team.

This was my second knew replacement surgery, Dr. Fischer did an amazing job. He is truly a remarkable doctor and professional that I respect and trust. You can tell he goes above and beyond for his patients and I truly appreciate that.
