June 28, 2022Issac S.Verified patient
Dr. Fishman was personable, likable, knowledgeable and professional. She knew things about my medical past that I had forgotten .Then, she explained my condition so well that even a layman like me understood. I drove a long distance to see her because I remembered how pleasant and knowledgeable she was when I saw her three years ago …Dr Felicity Fishman is a great asset to Loyola Hospital…..Is there a rating higher than 10 that I can give her?

Dr Fishman gave me hope and optimism I hadn’t heard from at least 5 surgeons I’ve been to I about my CVC joint deterioration .. she listened to my issues and gave me the straight answer with conviction.. I felt she truly cared about me and gave me hope I will get better!

Excellent, caring, concerned and genuine. I went two other hand surgeons who told me there was nothing they could do for right ring finger post surgical pain. Dr Fishman confirmed my pain and symptoms. I had surgery on 06/25/19 for hardware removal. After 4 weeks post surgery, all of my pain was gone and my range of motion improved. Dr Fishman is an outstanding hand surgeon and a wonderful human being. Pam G.

Great pleasure meeting Dr. Fishman. She took time to explain the situation to us, gave her recommendation, answered our questions and proposed alternatives to address our concern that we would never think of ourselves. That's why we need experts! Look forward to our next appointment with Dr. Fishman.
March 25, 2019Zhao-ye F.Verified patient
I researched the internet for a hand specialist for a small cyst that was present on my left hand. She seemed to be a competent and knowledgeable professional based on other reviews. I gave it a shot, and turned out that she was willing to listen and understand what the issue is, what the next steps are, and possible treatment options. It is always a mystery when you search the internet for specialists, but I feel I found a great one in Dr. Fishman.

Dr. Fishman listened to my concerns about first surgery (related to anesthesiologist) and made chances for surgery on second hand. She was competent and supportive.

Dr. Fishman is an excellent doctor I am very fortunate to have found her to treat me for my wrist fracture. She is very competent, professional, and compassionate. She is absolutely great at her profession. She always takes time explain my test results, listen to my concerns and to answer all my questions without feeling rushed. Loyola is very lucky to have her.
