First of all, once he reels you in, the next sessions were basically, writing prescriptions & nothing more. I was always told to make an appt’ with my psychologist! I’m surmising that after he reached his monetary gain, he had the office contact me to say he no longer accepts my insurance plan. I’m thinking that the insurance co., began questioning his charges. IJS!!

The wait time was ridiculous. We always had to wait at a minimum of 1 hour. We even had to reschedule an appointment one time. The staff was rude and and not helpful at all. The best thing we did was move to another doctor.

I called to make an appointment for my child and I was told that they do not take my insurance and that Dr. Fisher was not taking new patients. I rechecked the wetsite and both things were not true. I was turned away before we even got started. What kind of people are running this office? I think it is time to make some changes.

Dr. Fisher doesn't really listen well, he's great if you know what medication you want and just need a doctor to get it. If actually want to talk to some one or spend less than an hour in a waiting room you're in the wrong place.
