The reviews listed below were collected independently of OrthoBethesda through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
Felt a bit rushed for a first visit. Also support staff handed me a list of Neurology Centers for tests but did not tell me that BEFORE I could make an appointment with them I needed 2 items from Dr Fischer. It turned ok me 2 more calls to his office for someone to promise to fax them. Had they told me when I was in their office. I could have picked the neurological center and they could have started the wheels turning right then and there without multiple calls to them and to the neurological center.
A patient’s time and sanity is also valuable not only the doctors

Dr. F. Is the best. He was a huge help to me both in conversations and a cortisone shot! I am very grateful that he is my dr.

Excellent bedside manner and connects with you as a person. Easy to talk with and he explains in simple terminology. He reviews and evaluates your problem then he observes you entirely. He noticed another issue and recommended a specialist with their contact information. The world needs more doctors like Dr. Fisch.

Felt that the wait time is not appropriate, especially when the doctor is speaking with the staff in the corridor. Waited in the room for over half an hour then had less than five minutes with the doctor.

He did not spend much time with me. He ordered tests, but did not address the pain I'm in.
