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.

Dr. Fischer not only analyzed my issue but gave me steps to take to fix it. Best of all, his advice has worked beautifully.

Dr Fischer is one of the finest doctor's I have ever seen. He is so good with his diagnosis and also so detailed with explaining the issue. He spent so much time with me showing lab results and also what could cause my condition and treatment options. It eased my anxiety so much. We need more of such doctor's, amazing doctor!

I’ve never had a Dr. spend so much time with me! He listened and was so thorough in his exam. Then, he spent so much time explaining to me what was wrong and how to make it better. I can’t say enough good about how much time he spent with me.

This man is amazing.He's very knowledgeable, very caring,He diagnosed my rather complicated injuries within moments of walking into the room, and follow up examinations,MRIs, x-rays, etc confirmed his diagnoses.I was scared when I was first there, because he is a workmans comp doctor and I have met many who were patently unethical.Not Dr Fischer.He's been my doctor of record for 8 years running, and I would and have recommended him to anyone and everyone.Not enuf room to say all I want to. A++++
