I actually met with Betsy, Dr. Fish's PA. I would also rate her a five. Very easy to talk to, listen to and understand what exactly I was there for. The whole office has a wonderful staff and atmosphere. I would highly recommend them.

Dr. Fish has done total knee replacement on both of my knees. I feel he is a very talented and precise surgeon and my results are excellent at this point. His staff is attentive and responsive as you go through the process.
