Dr Fisch is the best. He is very friendly and easy to talk to. And he took time to explain everything. Highly recommend.

Dr. Fisch was more like a technician in a hurry today than a doctor. At my last visit with Dr. O'Brien I had been referred to P.T. for balance problems and finished the P.T. with a good score. Although I came in to see about getting my left shoe built up the balance problem never came up, even though I had put on the record I filled out that I had balance and insecurity problems. Basically I was turned off by his manner, even though he did provide me with information about building up my left foot a little bit. I miss Dr. O'Brien and wished I had picked the other spine doctor (since Dr., O'Brien has gone to Virginia) - the one who wears a turban. I'll bet my personality would have meshed better with him than it did with Dr. Fisch.

He was great.
The 45 minute wait was a bit trying. My time is also valuable. There were hardly any patients there....

I have been a patient of several different doctors in this association. They are all good doctors and that includes Dr Fish.
A graduate of Queens College and Georgetown University School of Medicine, Dr. Fisch trained in orthopedic surgery at the Montefiore/ Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. He received spine training at the Spinecare/ St. Mary’s/ Stanford University Combined Spine Fellowship Program. His areas of special interest include surgery of the cervical, lumbar, and thoracic spine. As a diplomate of the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery and a Fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, Dr. Fisch is trained in all aspects of spine surgery instrumentation, using anterior and posterior approaches. In addition, he is a leader in state-of-the-art spine injections, which frequently enable patients to avoid surgery.
