Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Buyer Beware
I was his patient for several years. More than once he mentioned my having cataract surgery. I declined because I felt my vision was fine. Imagine my surprise when I switched Dr.’s and she mentioned as I was leaving that I have LITTLE BABY CATARACTS, nothing that needs tending to at this time! I requested to be seen by Dr. Fishman 3 times a year instead of four and he said, “You don’t have to come in at all.” So I took him up on it!

I have been with Dr. Fishman for many many years. He is the best ophthalmologist I have ever seen. I have never felt rushed when seeing him. He explains every thing to me. He is up with the latest technology which makes me confident to be in his practice. I would recommend him 100%.

I don't recommend this guy to my worst enemy, stay away from this people especial from Dr. Fishman, his mind is only on the money hi don't care what happens to you. I don't understand why all this people righted reviews and saying that hi is the best and give him five stars, wen hi spend 2 minutes in the exam room with you, and don't even look at you face or explain the problem that you mite have , hi sits on the chair facing the computer for two minutes and anything that hi have to tell you hi Sayed looking at the computer. I am very very disappointed, hi did surgery in my eyes and my wife also, the insurance paid for the surgery and we paid $10,000 additional, $2,500 for each eye, and they don't give us any explanation how it is go to be, but yes hi ruined our lives.
