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.

She’s the best. Very thorough and patient. Good bed side manner and very easy to talk to. If there is a problem with any of your results, she personally calls you. I highly recommend her for a gynecologist.

Expect extra long wait time- over an hour. Extra small uncomfortable waiting room. No privacy to undresss in exam room.

Dr. Fisher was amazing! That was hands down the most comfortable female exam I have ever had. Very friendly staff! I was in and out of the exam room in around 20 minutes. Great experience!

Dr. Fisher herself is wonderful. Courteous, considerate, and thorough. However her nurse, Debbie, is a nightmare to deal with. Completely insensitive, unsympathetic, and flat out rude. Makes it not even worth seeing Dr Fisher, unfortunately, if you have to deal with someone like that.
