May be a good surgeon but from my perspective he does not actively listen to his patient. It's like do good with the surgery then leave all else to his PA or others. Almost as a cocky attitude.

Dr. Fisher advised me not to have surgery after suffering an agonizing case of herniated disc. To my surprise the symptoms are mostly gone and I can play pickleball again.

Dr. Fisher performed spinal surgery on me in Oct 2012. The surgery went great with zero complications. Dr. Fisher was very up front about all the risks associated with spinal surgery and used this option only after various other nonevasive measures were taken. I would highly reccomend him.
