We recently consulted Dr Daniel Fishman regarding our daughter’s wrist pain, and we were very pleased with the experience. He was thorough, clear in his explanations, and took the time to ensure both we and our daughter understood what might be causing the issue and the next steps. He struck a good balance between being clinically precise and reassuring, which made her feel comfortable and listened to.
My experience was very good with this doctor and he explained well about my health issues.
My daughter went to see Mr Fishman. He treated her with respect and listened carefully to what was happening in her life. Excellent service
Recently visited Dr fishman after receiving a diagnosis of fibromyalgia from my GP and feeling very disregarded. Dr Fishman completed a very thorough exam and done checks to rule out any other issues. I was very pleased and now feel more confident in the diagnosis and how to care for myself going forward. Was really pleased to not just be sent out the door with more medication to take but with a practical plan of things I can to improve my health and wellbeing. Thank you very much.
Dr Fishman has recently treated my 13 year old daughter. He was very prompt, professional and thorough. My daughter liked him and he was great with her. Also particularly liked that he emailed direct and so is very easy to contact when needed. Great service.
Dr Fishman was really and informative for my little girl and the examination was great. My daughter said the doctor was really kind.
