Have been a patient of his for over 12 years- he is skilled and personable but his staff is terrible. Over the years it has gotten progressively worse to the point i needed to serve the relationship due to the lack of follow through, being hung up on and overall lack of regard from his staff. This is to bad because he is a good Dr. but the etiquette and lack of follow through during a time when people are in crisis is not acceptable. waiting 3 weeks for a non narcotic medication is un heard of. 2-3 weeks to send a MRI referral is unacceptable- it got to the point that my insurance called them to have it faxed.

I suffered from seizures as an 18 year old. I am now age 71 and have been seizure free for over 30 years. I have outlived several of my doctors. For the last twenty years I have been treated by Doctor Fischer and have been seizure free. He is thorough; he takes time to discuss my medical situation; and he is a good person. I highly recommend him.
