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.

Dr. Fischbach is outstanding
Dr. Fischbach is an exceptional medical professional who stays current in his field. He is caring and kind and is thoughtful in his diagnosis and treatment recommendation. I have been his patient on and off for almost 20 years and feel incredibly lucky to be under his care again.

I’m so grateful to have Dr. Fischbach as my oncologist. He’s extremely smart, kind and puts you at ease. When you’re diagnosed with advanced cancer,, it’s a surreal and terrifying experience but you just know that he will get you through it. I had a very poor prognosis but here I am 14 mos. later in remission and living a full life. When we didn’t get desired results, he always was optimistic about a different treatment. Can’t say enough about him and the entire staff in Ffld. Phenomenal people.

Happy and optimistic but mediocre oncologist. All is not always good and this Dr missed a basic diagnosis for years. Too late to provide adequate treatment. I would not recommend Dr Fishbach at all. I have left this review before. I guess Yale deletes the negative reviews.

Just a top notch doctor. He is everything someone in that profession should strive to be like. Amazing man and a fantastic staff. His compassion towards his patients is incredible, you will always walk away feeling this man really, really cares. We trusted him with my wife's treatment and we always felt we were in the best hands possible. A special place in heaven awaits him. ^0^

Dr. Fischbach is amazing. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable but he takes the time to listen and answer questions. He never makes you feel like he is in a rush and gives out the time you need. I have been his patients for a long time and wouldn't go to anyone else.

Dr. Fischbach is one of the most knowledgable and compassionate doctors and human beings that I have ever met. He treated my husband who had inoperable, 4th stage lung cancer. He took the time to completely explain everything about his illness and all the treatments that he recommended to treat him.He made husband as comfortable as possible during the 2 years he had left . I highly recommend him to anyone needing an oncologist.
