Dr Fishkin is a top notch doctor, who provides top level care. He is extremely knowledgeable, took the time to evaluate my systems, explained my treatment options thoroughly, answered my questions (and even followed up with me afterwards). I wish my primary care physician was as thorough.

Came to the ER in the middle of the night with chest pain and within 2 min Dr Fishkin greeted me. He asked me several questions about what was going on as he analyzed all the monitors I was hooked up to. He knew instantly that I was not having a heart attack, which I had had in the past. He was extremely knowlegable and compassionate as he calmed me down by explaining I was refluxing acid all over. He gave me an IV drip with a medication and checked on me several times before I was released. He gave me really personalized care and explained the discharge instructions and set me up to see a stomach doctor the next day. He gave me insight to my condition in simple terms and put my family at ease--THANK YOU Dr Fishkin--THANK you CEDARS!

Came into our ER bedside and announce what meds he’ was going to give and what meds he would not. Had not read her chart and when asked why he was not following patients 20yr protocol (established at his hospital) or read her chart said “I do not have to do what I am not comforable with”. We agreed and asked for another doctor. Clearly his comfort was more important than his patient’s comfort and care..
