Dr. Gustav Fischer, MD

I had rt hip replacement surgery by Dr Fischer 7 weeks ago. Everything from the first visit, the outpatient surgery itself, and follow up communication/visits have been fantastic. At the initial visit, Dr Fischer took the time to explain the imaging results, test both hips for movement/pain, outline surgery options, and fully answer our questions. Post surgery, Dr Fischer called my wife to give her positive outcome/status. His minimally invasive “Direct Superior” approach is incredible in facilitating a quick recovery, and eliminates the worry of a hip dislocation. iWithin 2 weeks I was in less pain than pre-surgery. Post surgery communication has been excellent, and follow up visits with assistant Issac have been reassuring and positive. I highly recommend Dr Fischer for hip replacement surgery.

So far, so good. Dr. Fischer was very attentive and considerate of my situation. At this stage I’m hoping his surgical skills will be as good as well.

After seeing a different orthopedic Dr. for several years, and not getting anywhere, and living in pain, I made an appointment with Dr. Fischer. He was kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and most importantly he listened to me!! I scheduled my first knee replacement surgery during my first visit...something I’ve needed for years!! I’ve had nothing but a great experience with everyone in the office, from scheduling my appointment, to checking in, to the medical assistant who took me back to a room. I’m beyond thrilled that I have found such a great Dr. to provide my care.

Truly caring, takes time, explains options. You feel part of the decision making " team".

Was very impressed. He found something that had never been confirmed with me. Though it was bummer news, it was good that we learned about it now. His fresh approach and perspective caught something that will definitely help my situation down the line. He definitely knows his stuff and really locks in individually on each patient.

This was my 2nd replacement and it went Great. I had no problems and Dr. Fischer explained as much as I wanted to be informed. I was back to snow skiing (safely) in 4-1/2 months. I had the best doctor and the best results! Thank you Dr. Fischer...

Have a very thorough knowledge of the medical industry and can not say enough positive things about this doctor and his practice. I had severe deterioration of my hip requiring replacement. Because of his technique I was walking two hours following surgery, did not need a walker or cane after a week, and only used Tylenol for pain. His staff is helpful, professional, and pleasant. His physician assistant Isaac is outstanding. Less than three weeks after surgery I am further along than I expected to be in two or three months. Have only a three inch incision as his technique is very non-invasive and results in a much quicker recovery. Excellent surgeon, very professional, easy to talk to, communicates with confidence, and performs above and beyond my best expectations.

Thanks go to Dr. Fischer and his team for the care and exceptional service taking care of my knee. If you are looking for a great joint surgeon in Portland, do not hesitate to check them out!
