Even as a college professor of anatomy & physiology, being a lifelong bodybuilder and powerlifter and owning a successful business helping thousands attain a higher level of health, fitness and rehabilitation has not helped me find out what is causing long term myofascial neck pain even after many visits to over a dozen specialty doctors which included orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, neurosurgeons, DO’s, and chiropractors. Upon my first visit to Dr. Fishman, I was impressed (which takes a lot given my background!) with how he utilizes the fullest extent of his medical knowledge and training while exhibiting the highest degree of professionalism in treating his patients. I feel Dr. Fishman's excellent communication skills, both in listening and explaining plausible causes are instrumental in allowing me to understand the scope of my neck pain and as evidenced by my first procedure - he is close to solving the mystery of the root of my pain. He is an exemplary physician.

I found this practice online. I was doing some research and read a few articles that Dr. Fishman had written. I am very interested in learning more about what he does to see if he will be able to help me with my pain. I can't wait to see if he can help me.

My mom is a patient here, so I started coming because of all the great things she had mentioned. Dr. Fishman is great. He really helped my back pain. The overall experience here is really amazing and they make you feel very comfortable.

Dr. Fishman is great. He really listens to me and understands exactly what is going on. I have problems with my legs and he is the only doctor that I have been to that actually figured out what was wrong. I am very thankful for him!

I found you guys on the internet. This is my first time visit with Dr. Fishman. I have seen other doctors before coming here and I wanted to get another opinion before I got a procedure done. Dr. Fishman actually showed me all the steps that would be done. That made me feel very comfortable with getting this procedure done.

My pain is throbbing, sharp, tingling numbness. Dr. Fishman has helped me with therapy and the muscle relaxer are helping. He is nice with a great personality. I never had a doctor like him, he tells me straight up!

I came in for an appointment with my husband, the entire staff from check in to physician check out was much more than compassionate to my husband. During his visit his questions were answered truthfully. My husband has been in pain for awhile and he left his appointment feeling comfortable with what he and Dr. Fishman had discussed.

I found this group online. Everything has been great, from coming in here and everything about it. Dr. Fishman treats me with respect. He listens to me and is improving my health. My only feedback is the forms were a bit confusing. But other than that the scheduling has been really great especially with how busy they are!

I found this office online..I googled pain and found this group. I'm a new patient and so far it's been good. The staff is pretty good, I called Monday and they got me an appointment right away. I didn't have to wait long to be seen. Dr. Fishman was knowledgeable,compassionate, and very direct. He was right on point and they already got my next appointment scheduled next week!

My experience here has been extremely positive, this office is effective an Dr. Fishman listens. Nothing for them to improve on, just keep being honest! Most definitely would refer you guys, I actually already have. My sister will be coming here shortly! I'm treated with respect here and the issues I'm having Dr. Fishman has made many attempts to help me rather than giving up on me.
