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.

I’ve been seeing Dr Theodore Fishman for 20 years. I would highly recommend Dr Fishman for anyone in need of help. Your life will be changed for the positive forever and your ability to do productive work will increase dramatically. I only wish I had know about his services as a teenager. My life would have been so much better starting then.

Dr. Fishman is all that . In site full, intelligent. Probably reads alot. BUT in psychiatry there is a beginning and an end and here is where he falls short. There are ways of asking the brain a question but this isn't just a mental excercise. He needs to establish a goal and he fails to. He needs to establish a time line for the patients recovery. This isn't a continuous diagnosis process. There wasn't an end game defined in my therapy and that's the fault of the doctor. We rely on doctors.

Dr. Fishman is a listener. He is up to date on all the newest trends and medications. His advice is always realistic and sound. Our family has seen him for many years and would highly recommend him. Extremely kind and sensitive too.

I have been seeing Dr. Fishman for several years now. Short version: Equalled? Perhaps. Surpassed? Not in My Book. Extraordinary ability to listen, then speak to the Point, forcefully, clearly. Will NOT prattle on, on your time, about his cars or kids, or pump YOU or the latest Society gossip. An astonishingly intelligent, insightful, and effective Practitioner. TEN stars if I could do so.
