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.

An excellent specialist and great person!
Dr. Fisher is one of the most responsive doctors I have ever had. He lists his email address so you can email any information to him, or questions and he answers in 24 hours or less. In one case I had a friend who years before had a kidney transplant. She was taking antirejection drugs that lowers your immune system to almost zero. She caught Covid and asked her doctor if she should get the infusion for anti-viral that was helping a lot of people with Covid. Her doctor asked when she had her last Covid vaccination. She had it about 2 weeks prior to her getting Covid. Her doctor told her it wouldn't really help. I'm not a doctor but knew the vaccination and the anti-viral worked differently and offered to email Dr. Fisher and did. An hour or two later he sent an email to me and said she should go in as soon as possible and get the infusion. She believes this saved her life. Her oxygen levels had gone down to 90% and needed oxygen.

Dr. Fisher treated me in a clinical trial for a rare cancer. He ensured he informed me of all my treatment options, both within clinical trials and outside. He and his staff were incredibly caring during the time I was treated, and he continues to stay in contact with me despite my return to local cancer care in my small Montana town. I couldn't recommend anyone more.
