I was very reluctant to have an Anterior Cervical Diskectomy done. After my first consultation with Dr. Fishman I felt more confident. Dr. Fishman is a very experienced, capable Neurosurgeon. It was a textbook surgery. The recovery was very difficult for me. I would have like to have stayed in the hospital if I had been given the option. But Dr. Fishman was there for me. We called him a lot during the post operative period. He always answered our questions patiently and explained the surgery in detail. He was precise and to the point. And a GREAT BIG thanks to Rena and Sandra who guided me thru recovery with lots of encouragement. I am very grateful to them. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Fishman.
My experience here has been exceptional. Wish we could still work with Brandon Hospital. Your staff is always extremely helpful. The Doc and office is always quick to take care of my issues at hand. This my second procedure and I am quite pleased.
At 68 I have reached the age where I am spending more time with doctors and other medically related personnel. As I have been trying to negotiate this medical maze I have seen it all. Lost paperwork, wrongly posted appointments just to name two. Then there is the long list of people that rarely smile while you wait 30, 40, 50 minutes past your appointment. My first and only trip to see Dr. Fishman was as complete and pleasant surprise. The entire staff finally represented what you would expect from a medical doctor's office. Dr. Fishman was extremely pleasant, not rushed like so many other and he never once looked at his watch. (how rare) Every one of the staff members who work here clearly enjoy what they are doing including Dr. Fishman. Every medical office should be like this one.
I came to see about my hand numbness thinking it was a neck issue. Turns out it was carpal tunnel. I elected to do both hands at the same time. Dr. Fishman is the BEST!!! No more problems. Excellent Dr. Would highly recommend him. Rena you are awesome as well. Thank you both for everything.
All went well. I like Dr. Fishman. This is the 2nd carpal tunnel surgery I have had and was as pleased this time as I was last time. I felt confident coming back to him.
