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.

Excellent doctor
Dr Fischer has been my primary for over a decade. She is very thorough and responsive to any questions. Would highly recommend.

I always have a very informative visit with Dr. Fisher. Does not matter if I’m there for a wellness or sick visit, she is always caring and professional. I always appreciate her level of concern where my health is concerned. Thank you Dr. Fisher for all you do.

Don't Reccommend
I've seen Dr Fisher a few times now as my PCP. She doesn't seem interested in her patients health. She doesn't make eye contact which is weird, she seems to only ask questions off some script she's reading on her computer, and she's in and out of the annual visit as soon as she can be. She asks zero personal questions aside from her questionnaires. She just comes across as disinterested in her patients and their health. Also, her staff is consistently rude and short, both in the patient portal and in person. I will be looking for a new PCP.

Dr Fisher has been my PCP for over a decade now. She listens to my concerns never judges and I have received excellent treatment in her care. If I ever leave Buffalo I will miss her dearly and the new doctor would have huge shoes to fill!

Good, consistent experience
Unlike some doctors I've had, Dr. Fisher seems to actually know or review my medical history before walking into my appointments. I appreciate that she asks about ALL aspects of my health, ensuring that I am working on mental health as well as physical health. I appreciate that while she and I both know I need to lose weight, it's never brought up inappropriately or as the cure-all to my various conditions. She listens, she considers treatments, and she neither rushes into a plan or stalls on a possible course.

Depends on what you’re looking for
I really like and appreciate Dr. Fisher, her bedside manner may come off to some as on the cooler side but I have never felt rushed or dismissed and I am a questions asker. There have been times when appts ran late (not recently) but since she takes time to answer questions with me, she likely does it for all her patients and may get held up. She does have a staff member that is unfriendly, but the office is run like a well-oiled machine. I once went to a provider with the sweetest front desk staff but dealing with them appointment/paperwork etc was a nightmare. So I’ll take competence over personality any day. Dr. Fisher’s office doesn’t coddle their patients, that’s fine with me to feel secure with the care I am getting. I would definitely recommend.

Ok for minor issues and basics
Basic yearly check-ups are ok if you don't have issues and just get yearly blood test. I had a complaint, but was basically dismissed in office and had to push for additional tests. I had a telehealth visit with her where she accurately diagnosed my condition and I got prompt treatment. Most visits are fairly prompt. This last visit I was in the room immediately, but waited 20-25 minutes for Dr. Fisher after the nurse left. Feels a little rushed when speaking with her, but bedside manner has improved over 3 years of seeing her.
