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.

Generally speaking, I'm not a "Dr. Person", I'll only go when I think it's absolutely necessary. I couldn't have been more thrilled with my appointment with Dr. Fishman. He listened to my concerns, never looked at his watch and set-up a series of tests to ensure that my heart is in "good shape".

Dr. Fishman is the consummate professional. Note only does he, along with his team, provide a complete and thorough exam, he takes the time to review and discuss everything and how to work on your overall health. I NEVER feel rushed - I NEVER feel like a number - I truly feel like he is a longtime friend. He is candid (as he was when I first met him and he was very professional but blunt) and extremely compassionate.
I would have rated him 10 stars but was only given the option of 5.
