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.

Outstanding wound care physician
I've been seeing Dr Fichter for several months for a particularly difficult wound care problem, and I am very impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. Once he took over my care, I have seen significant improvement. He is friendly, personable, and treats patients with respect and concern. He answers questions, takes time to explain everything he recommends, and has made this process go much more smoothly.

Outstanding, in every way (sharing my own two cents, as if Web sites should publish patients' opinions). He most probably saved my life, on two different occassions, because that's what doctors do. He absolutely saved Dad's life, adding a good decade of much better quality to his years, because that's what outstanding surgeons do. He's a most humble magician when it comes to his capabilities, and he's dedicated countless hours to constantly helping others, because that's what great people do.

Excellent, very competent and qualified surgeon who takes good care of his patients even if it means irritating the nurses, hospital staff, and/or insurance companies. I would not hesitate for a second to have Dr. Fichter perform my surgery again!
