February 12, 2018Johannes K.Verified patient
Best primary care physician ever. Been a patient for ca. 6-7 years or more.
Convenient in-office lab and radiology. Even though I am not a resident of Illinois, I come here for specifically for my annual check-up with Dr. Fischer.
December 19, 2017Barbara H.Verified patient
Dr. Fischer was very helpful at listening to my concerns and addressed a plan right away. I like his personality and how easy he is to communicate with. He put me at ease right away and I'm looking forward to my husband meeting him and I know he'll be just as thrilled as I am to have him be our primary dr. I appreciate you Dr. Fischer!
October 25, 2017Patti L.Verified patient
Most satisfying primary care/annual physical visit I've experienced. Dr. Fischer was both thoroughly systematic and refreshingly personable. He ran through a comprehensive set of questions that helped me reflect on my health and habits and shared his wisdom and expertise freely. I considered my visit as much of a compassioned coaching session as it was an evaluation. I strongly recommend Dr. Fischer as a primary care physician for individuals in the northern Chicago suburbs.
October 19, 2017Daniel A.Verified patient
Excellent
September 23, 2017Barbara H.Verified patient
Very thorough and knowledgeable and courteous and kind! Highly recommend! He suggested many preventative strategies and even gave me printouts for how I can help myself in various aspects of life. I could tell that he truly cares about holistic well-being, mind, body and soul of his patients (unlike other horrible business jerk docs). You will not regret seeing him and will be thankful that you did!
July 5, 2017Benjamin K.Verified patient
Dr. Fischer was personable, thorough, and knowledgeable. Lab work and other diagnostic tests were done right there in the office. The front desk personnel were friendly and welcoming. All in all, my visit was a pleasant experience.

He was thorough with medical history taking, which is a good foundation. This is my initial visit, and I'd have more feedbacks on the next appointments.

This is only my second visit and Im pleased how fast, and efficient the appointment turned out. Having your physician on the same page as the patient's concerns, makes decision-making and planning a breeze.
June 23, 2015John J.Verified patient
It was great, except for the fact that the office calls me everytime I schedule an appointment telling me to reschedule because they don't have the slot open. It's infuriating.

This is the second time I have seen Dr. Fischer when my regular doctor was not in, although the last time was over three years ago.
Dr. Fischer takes time to ask questions and discuss the answers. Few doctors seem to do that, especially when you are not theirs.
His diagnosis was correct and following his suggestions, I am back to full health.
