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.
