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. Fisher basically saved my life when I went into anaphylaxis during a "simple" brain procedure. He was amazing, caring, and after over a week in ICU I bounced back quickly. Him and his staff eased my poor mom's mind and was with her while I was knocked out waiting to wake up. They are great!

He did gamma knife on my avm several years. He was very professional with a great staff. He’s the only doctor would ever ordered an albumin level when my Dilantin levels were low despite my taking the medication as ordered. Yes the albumin level was low, he knew the formula to “ correct” my Dilantin level in consideration of a low albumin.

Dr Fisher saved my life 19 yrs ago after 2 failed attempts by other neuro surgeons. I had aneurysm on brain with severe head pain. I understand the aneurysm bursted during surgery but I pulled thru with no brain damage & back at work after 3 months. I know it took Dr fishers knowledge & training to do this & all the prayers to God. I feel Dr Fisher knowledge, personality & mannerisms are impeccable. He has been monitoring new aneurysm yearly to keep watch over me. I feel so blessed to find him

Dr. Fisher is amazing. My husband had a anterior communicating artery aneurysm. The Dr. admitted him did surgery the next day, calmed our concerns. It is no wonder he is known world wide for his work. Thanks to Dr. Fisher and his staff. Shelia Shell, Nov. 2018

Dr. Fisher saved my quality of life. I had three surgeries in Mobile where a doctor pretty much took a whole year of my life, and almost more. Dr. Fisher completely fixed me, and my life is back to normal. I feel for the most part great, and do things I was not able to do two years ago.

He gave me my life back. I am so blessed. He listened to me, not my tests. I suffered for so long. I'm now able to work and am a completely new person. He listened when all others dismissed me. I am grateful beyond words.
