Dr. James Fischkoff, MD

went with swollen joints. didn't bother even looking. He ordereid bloodwork but never called with the results or returned my calls asking about the results and a diagnosis. Worst ever....come on Fishkoff, help people that see you for help

Listens to patient and will answer all questions. Always trying newest meds available to patients like me with multiple ailments. Honest about medications that are not within patients means. Responds quickly to refills request. Very convenient office in Edison, NJ. Highly recommend him.

Dr fischkoff always helps me a great deal,very pleasant to deal with,I would recommend him to anyone with arthritis issues

Dr. Fischkoff has presented numerous options towards relieving my RA causes and symptoms. He sincerely wants his patient to be relieved of pain and have an improved quality of life with RA. Yet he respects the patient's perspective and tolerance for various treatments. I feel well treated with Dr. Fischkoff and know I he will work with me till we've reached the right course of treatment.

Dr. Fishkoff listens to how I’m feeling and asks if anything has changed since my last visit. When I ask questions he has options for us to try. He keeps me calm and never gets me anxious. The only thing I would like would be if he would call with my blood results.

I have been going to AoA since my diagnosis with RA. The entire staff is professional and caring. Doctor Fischkoff is patient, attentive, and always explains things. I would recommend this office to anyone with rheumatology issues.

I went to this doctor because my feet were swollen to twice the size. He didn't even examine my feet. Took bloodwork, never called with the results. I scheduled and kept an appointment with another dr. after that. She not only took my shoes and socks off, but examined my body because one foot had a fungus and said the meds I'm on can cause that. She immediately put me on medicines for that and the original problem

Dr. Fischkoff is a WONDERFUL doctor. He is so compassionate and caring. I called his office not too long ago because I needed his help. I received a return call within 5 minutes. Under his care I have conquered my RA. He really tries very hard to make sure I am pain free and taking the adequate medicine. I have been going to him for many years and he always listens. I highly recommend him.

Same complaint!!!! You only see him for less than 5 minutes. Not once have i ever received a call regarding my blood work nor does he ever go over the results in the next appt [now that i think about it]. He doesn't talk much and seems disinterested; expressionless. Just asks if anything is wrong, send you for blood work and thats it. There is no actual physical check up in these appts if you mention you don't notice anything out of ordinary; unlike how my previous retired doctor did even if i mentioned that i didn't have any issues he always checked. i only stay out of convenience. So if you have any recommendations for a superior lupus doctor, its greatly appreciated.

Dr Fishkoff is caring, professional and knowledgable. He helped my when I was approaching aN RA flare while 8,000 miles from home.

Dr. Fischkoff experience was disappointing, He was not effective in relieving the pain I was in and only wanted to prescribe various prescriptions, Even after me telling him there were some meds I was not willing to take due to extreme side effects I was encountering, He did not offer any other options. The office staff were not helpful and ineffective in helping with any requests/assistance I needed. Happy to say I found a Dr. who thought outside the box and am now in a better state.

Dr. Fischkoff is soft spoken and attentive. I felt he listened to everything I had to say, gave me short and long term advice, asked if I had any questions and went out of his way to accomodate my fear of needles. He is excellent and if you're having arthritis pain, he'll do all he can to help you.

Worst doctor I have ever visited, appointment felt very rushed and he seemed so disinterested and disengaged that it was almost sad. Only had medications as recommendations and did not seem at all sympathetic or that he even wanted to be there. Looks like this doctor truly hates his job and answering questions. Will never be returning to this awful office.

Just had a follow up visit. First, Dr. Fischkoff returned my phone call on Saturday. Within 5 minutes of my leaving a message with his service. Really impressed. When the urgent care facility could not take care of me, I iced my elbow and waited until Monday morning. Called his office and had an appointment for 12:30 same day. Was seen promptly and was done with procedure by 1:15. Extremely impressed with the staff at the Toms River Office - superior to the Freehold office.

Very caring and listens. Doesn't rush you out of your appt. He takes time and explains everything.
