Dr. Fischer and his team are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I had a medical emergency 9/5 and went to the emergency at the hospital on Auburn Avenue. I was blessed to have Dr. Fischer see me. He listened to me and as a result, he ordered additional tests to discover my issue was serious and I needed major surgery, which took place on 9/6. I spent approx. 3 weeks in the hospital. Each day Dr. Fischer and/or his team came to check my progress. They treated me like a loved family member. . . their bedside manner was and continues to be impeccable; even the team at his office for my follow-up visits, offer the same manner of respect and care! I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Fischer and his team! The hospital is lucky to have him there, and I was blessed to have our paths cross! Thankful and Grateful!
