Waiting time was less than 10 minutes, staff was friendly and helpful, and Dr. Fischer was friendly, professional and caring. I would definately recommend her to my family and friends. I had to call in for a prescription, and it was handled promptly.

Worst doctor I have ever been in contact with!! Completely inhumane and simply cares about insurance money!! No tact or communication skills. Please do yourself a favor and never see her!!

I had been suffering with an undiagnosed bladder/testicle pain for about 7 weeks. A couple of other medical professionals were not able to diagnose my condition. Within about 5 minutes, Dr. Fischer properly diagnosed my condition as a kidney stone. CT Scan subsequently confirmed that I had a 6 mm kidney stone in my right ureter. I was scheduled for surgery, and Dr. Fischer removed the stone for me. I'm pain free now! Highly recommended!!

Dr. Fischer has a gentle touch and used to explain everything. Lately, I have found her more distant and willing to hand over my office visit to a Fellow from Oakland University where Dr. Fischer teaches. My concern is that she would schedule procedures just to give the Fellow experience. My last visit, without asking for my permission, Dr. Fisher had the Fellow do the examination. I knew nothing about this person and I lost trust in Dr. Fischer. I filed a complaint with my insurance company.

My mother was admitted to the ER with two large kidney stones. Dr. Fischer is (or was) my mom's urologist. We got ahold of Dr. Fischer & she's spoke with my mom. She was very rude saying things like, "I'm 45 minutes behind schedule because I had to call you". What kind of patient care is that? Then she's cancelled my mother's surgery to get them taken out because she didn't want to deal with her. Horrible Dr. & bedside manner. I wouldn't recommend her if she wasn't the last Dr. on Earth!

The experience I had with her made me rule out EVER returning. She left the room when I still had questions. It's not as if you know the appt has ended, but she is avoiding more conversation. The kicker: She called in my prescription. Didn't know she'd done it. Wanted to change the location. She got loud, "That's why I asked you!" Seriously? I am a paying patent. The staff seemed uncomfortable w/ her speaking to me that way too. Very poor experience. She needs more empathy and humility. SAD.

I was very impressed with Dr. Fischer's professionalism, courteousness and ability/willingness to listen. She answered all of my questions and suggested an alternative diagnosis for my urology issue. She quickly wrote orders for additional tests and was available for a follow-up appointment the following week. Her staff is also very courteous and helpful. Top marks all around.

I went to her as a new patient and came the requested 20 minutes prior to my appt. I ended up waiting over an hour past my appt. time. I understand things happen, but this was my first impression of Dr. Fischer and I was not happy. If she does not take the time to schedule herself effectively, how can I entrust her with my care? I was not told she was running late, or offered an apology. I did not end up seeing Dr. Fischer and I will be seeking care from a more considerate urologist.
