Doctor Robert Fishman saved my life ! Thank you !
The best doctor ever
Always very helpful and great bedside manner
As always, he was caring, professional, confident & encouraging about treatment - reassuring that the steps he was recommending would improve my situation & clear that he was scheduling follow up appointments. Empathetic, kind, aware & attentive of some other concerns that were that were not necessarily directly related, but affecting my state of mind. Respectful, & offering any help he could should I need it. I am grateful to be in his care, & trust him….respect him &…like him. Couldn’t wish for a more, qualified, compassionate Dr.
Great Dr
Dr Fishman was very personable and professional. He listened to my concerns and explained everything simply and thoroughly made me feel at ease and allowed me to be part of the decision process of what we do going forward. That’s how a physician should practice!
Communicates very well.
Knowledgeable and very easy to talk to. I felt like he listened and cared.
