Fisher Lisa A, MD

If I could give no stars I would. Dr Fisher is not my regular dr. I see another dr in this office, whom I love but my dr is out of town so I was seen by dr Fisher instead.
I am pregnant and at my first visit, dr fisher was incredibly unprofessional with horrible bed side manner. She barged in without knocking when I was changing. I had no clothes on!
And for my ultrasound, she just stated that me fetus was measuring smaller than actual date. No mention of heartbeat even though i could clearly see it fluttering. She pulled out the ultrasound wand but i asked her to measure the bpm. She reluctantly gave it a shot but said its too early to hear it. She didnt even try!!! I am so disappointed at how quickly she brushed me off.
She never ordered me any blood work either! I will not see her again! I am going to ask for another doctor in this office.
I don’t like to leave bad reviews on Unilocal anymore because i believe everyone or every business deserves a fair chance but i feel very strongly that dr fisher is down right unprofessional.

I came to Dr. Fisher for a preventive check up. It was my first time seeing her and she was very friendly, reassuring and actually took the time to discuss any concerns or questions I had. I felt comfortable even though I was naked. She even did an ultra sound for free because she wanted to figure out the logistics of my uterus to make a better contraceptive recommendation.

It took me a long time to write this review because my experience with Dr. Fisher was so frustrating that I needed to gather my thoughts before writing a public post in anger.
Dr. Fisher’s conduct during labor with my daughter was less than professional and demoralizing. If you are looking for a doctor who values your opinion or your right to make choices about your child’s birth she is NOT your gal.
I saw Dr. Fisher for the entirety of my prenatal care and she delivered our baby. I have read the other reviews and I have to agree with most of you. She has an attitude that is straight to the point. I liked this about her at first because it lead me to believe that her answers to my questions were direct and heartfelt. I was under the impression that she was true to her word and confident in her decisions. I was wrong.
Dr. Fisher made fear based choices regarding my labor that went against everything we had talked about up into that point. When I asked for clarification is was met with short statements about her credentials and no data or explanation to confirm her choices. She was baffled why I wouldn’t blindly consent to her recommendations right away. My questions and requests were ignored. She spoke down to me, treated me like a child, and showed clear contempt for having to work with me. She continually ignored my one most basic request: to be informed/​warned about anything happing during my labor. Instead she ran the show her way as if I was not an active party in the labor at all. I understand that laboring a child can change on a dime and that everyone’s experience is different and met with their own unique challenges. I am not at all questioning her schooling or experience in a clinical sense. I have a large problem with her conduct in practice.
I would not recommend Dr. Fisher to any of my friends. I feel that a mother at least deserves to be treated like she has a roll and say in the birth of her child. Labor is hard enough without having to fight to be heard by the caregiver you are paying to help you.
The only reason I am wiling to give Dr. Fisher one star is because her office is very nice and clean. The staff is wonderful. The other doctors in her practice (who I have met) have been fantastic. I was not willing to see Dr. Fisher for any of my postpartum care and was able to see another doctor in the office who has been wonderful.

I am new to California and this practice was referred by a friend. I am not sure what all the negative hype is about on Dr. Fisher. I saw her last week as a new patient and she was AWESOME. She was very patient, helpful, and informative to me. I would recommend her to anyone if you are looking for a detailed comprehensive OB. :)

i found dr. fisher online through my insurance network. she has lots of experience. although it’s my first pregnancy, i’ve been doing a lot of research/​reading/​talking to people on my own, so I kind of like that she gets to the point (and because i hate small talk too). that way i’m not spending more time at the doctor’s than necessary. she always asks if i have any questions and is professional and courteous. definitely trustworthy, and the other staff makes your visit that much nicer. all of the office staff are friendly and helpful and try to do as much as they can to inform you and make you comfortable.
four stars because twice i’ve had to wait a bit long to see her. (once for 30 minutes, once for 45!)

Ok, so removing my original rating for Dr. Fisher. Yes, she’s not a very personable, fun, bubbly person… but everybody can’t be that way, right? I mean, c’mon, even I’m not like that. Sometimes, yes, but not all the time.
Anyway, I’m giving her 4 stars because her care and service is great! She was awesome with my son (born March 2012), and I’m sure she’ll be awesome with this little baby (due September 2013).

I was referred to Dr. Fisher. Yes, Dr. Fisher is not the warm & fuzzy doctor as mentioned in the other reviews. The office is busy & kids because there are two other doctors there…
But from my own personal experience, Dr. Fisher will call you within 48 hours if your test results comes back poorly and something needs to be done right away. 3 years ago, there were precancerous cells that needed removal. She called within 24 hours of the test and I was on an operation table within the week. Now I am having issues with something else and I’ve been scheduled quickly to resolve the matter.
If you want a Dr. to make small talk during exam or hug you at the end of your annual exam, don’t go to her. But if you want a doctor that will call you back, call/​take care of you in times of trouble, and answer all questions before & after, go to Dr. Fisher.

Not very caring, helpful, or considerate. I have since switched doctors.
