Fisher G Robert, DVM

Dr. Fisher performed an eye removal surgery on my dog. It couldn’t have gone more smoothly and he didn’t bankrupt me in the process. He also regulated my diabetic cat which I’d had difficulty regulating and he’s since made a full recovery. Even though I live far away from his offices, I’d bring my animals to him for the more serious issues.

If I could give him less than one star, I would.
I had brought my elderly dog, who had serious health issues, from low thyroid to diabetes, to him. From the start, there were problems. My first warning, after which, admittedly, I should have left and never come back, came when I came by to pick up my dog and was given a packet of the very antibiotics which I had earlier told him my dog could not tolerate. His assistant, a very fat young woman, tore into me, yelling that he was busy and this was the medicine he prescribed for the dog. Why I paid the bill and returned again, I don’t know. I guess it was the glowing recommendation that my single friend, who was besotted with him, had given.
Thereafter, I had to bring my dog in every week for a blood test and I noticed that they were also charging me for a urinalysis. I could not understand why the dog needed both in order to test her blood glucose level, but when I asked I got no answer. I found the idea of my poor, sickly, blind dog getting a catheter inserted into her once a week, too painful to contemplate, so the next time I dropped her off, I left WRITTEN instructions not to do a urinalysis. That evening, sure enough, I was charged for a urinalysis, had to pay before they would release the dog, and the doctor made himself unavailable, AGAIN, to answer my question.
When I finally got through to him by phone to question the urinalysis, the jerk yelled at me, how dared I question him.
To this day, I feel guilty for having trusted this cretin, for the suffering I allowed my sickly dog to undergo in that house of horrors of a pet clinic, and I still can’t stand to hear a Southern drawl in a man.
I recommend 100% that Robert Fisher be totally avoided. That man is too heartless to be a vet.

Dr Fisher performed lung surgery on my RR in 2006. He successfully removed 5 of the 7 lung lobes that were cancerous. I found Dr Fisher to be caring, direct, and honest, in addition to a skilled surgeon. He also performed non cancerous mass removals for my dog.
If I still lived in LA, I would 110% return to Dr Fisher. Personally I like to have at least 2 vets for my dogs– I found that between Dr Fisher + Dr Patrick Mahaney at TLC, my needs were more than covered.
My only qualm– after the 06 surgery the post care for my dog was terrible. I had dropped off bedding for my dog to keep him comfy post op (he was 120 pds + the size of a Dane). When I visited him post op, I was told he wasnt ready for me to see and I would have to return the next day. I caught a peek inside the recovery area and saw my dog laying ON THE FLOOR! I know he’s a big dog but, at least put a blanket down! For sanitary reasons at least!!! As soon as I caused a scene, his bedding was put down and he seemed more comfortable.
Only other issue– 2007– I had him taken in while I was out of town on business as I was told by the caretaker he hadnt been eating (something he would occasionally do when I was away). Since I prefer to err on the cautious side, I said to take him in. Turned out he had a fever and was diagnosed by Dr fisher w/​pneumonia. I came home about 48 hours later and picked him up. He still seemed off so I took him to Dr Mahaney at TLC. After running basic tests (which only showed a fever) and agreeing something was off w/​him, they did an ultrasound… which showed cancerous blood cells + organs. He had hemangiosarcoma. He passed away 5 days later on his own. I know it is a tough illness to diagnosis until the end, but I wish it had been caught the week before… and saved myself the overnight stay my dog for pneumonia. He would have been more comfortable at home.
Overall for surgeries I would return to Dr Fisher. Just keep on top of the staff to make sure post care if provided to your preferences.
