A great doctor. He helped with my sinuses eight years ago. Now, my sinus headaches are maybe once a month at most. I use to migraine headaches, monthly. Now, it's rare if I get one now.

Front office staff was incompetent - got the birth date wrong and sent a prescription to the pharmacy without physician's signature.
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
The staff seemed very unorganized didn’t really know what they were doing , one girl did the rest seemed lost. And the paperwork the Dr. told them to give me I actually had to go back and ask for it because they didn’t give it to me . And before I came they told me they had my registration papers and when I got there they said they didn’t know where it was ? i really like the doctor but his staff needs some fine tuning .
April 17, 2018Teresa B.Verified patient
Dr. Miller was great. Seemed genuinely interested in my condition and offered several forms of treatment. Office staff was pleasant and helpful. Standard healthcare wait times - be prepared to sit for a while before you are seen. No complaints here!
January 4, 2018Jason S.Verified patient
I would not recommend this office to anyone. I originally scheduled this appointment a month in advance and got a call confirming my appointment. The night before they called me at 5:30pm telling met that I had to reschedule my appointment for the following afternoon because the doctor does not see patients at 4:45pm even when they had the opening and confirmed with me weeks in advance. I called the next morning and they scheduled me for 3:30pm that day. I arrived at 3:15pm to complete my paperwork, which was done by 3:30. They had me wait until 5pm to actually get into the room and see the doctor only because I had gone up to see what the issue was. There was no major issue, but the doctor had more important patients ahead of me to see. I did not get out of the office until around 5:10pm only because the doctor spend 5 minutes with me. He did not have any pleasantries or even offer to shake my hand, just a gruff I'm your doctor. His hands were freezing and he was extremely rough when he treated me and did not ask if he was hurting me at all. He was likely the worst ENT I have ever seen and I have been seeing them for over 15 years. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

August 24, 2016Debra D.Verified patient
Dr. was running late. The office was extremely disorganized. I told the Dr. I had a sore throat and he did not swab me. Instead he prescribed me with high strength antibiotics that have a wide range of side effects. After going to this Dr. I feel like my illness was not solved and I have to start over by going to a different Dr. tomorrow. I do not recommend anyone to see this physician.
July 14, 2016Meg F.Verified patient
He pays attention to detail, takes his time you
February 19, 2016Vance C.Verified patient
I've been to Dr. Fishman about 4 times now. I would highly recommend him for excellent care. Wait times for me have varied (when it's been busy, I've had to wait more than 30 minutes, but other times, the wait has been less than 5 minutes). The nurses and office staff are efficient and professional (friendly, but not overly chatty, which is a plus for me). Both Dr. Fishman and his staff listen to my questions and answer respectfully.
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
I was thankful to be seen right away as a new patient. The support staff were very courteous. Dr Fishman though curt was professional, competent and addressed all my concerns. Only negative comment is I had to wait a long time which could be simply because I had the last appointment of the day. Either way thanks for seeing me today and you have a really nice team working with you.
October 6, 2015Evelyn D.Verified patient
Hopeful.... i want to be free of facial, neck, head, pain. Dr. Fishman was reassuring when he said we will figure it out!! Hope so!! 35 years of this and it is getting worse!!
