My wife recommended I see Dr. Fish after I sprained my shoulder during the winter. I was told that my year of teleworking and lack of physical exercise caused my back to become mush (my words).Dr. Fish treated my shoulder and gave me exercises to do at home to rehab my shoulder and to develop muscle for my back. Each time I saw him, my range of movement would improve.Its great that he takes appointments on Saturdays and its always a joy to see him. He is also easy to get in touch with if I have to reschedule or make an appointment.

Dr. Fish is a life saver! He is extremely knowledgeable and forthright in his explanation of treatment. I’ve had chronic back issues for years now with no progress. I trusted his treatment plan and am finally getting my quality of life back. Thank you so much Dr. Fish!!

Just left his office. He said he couldn’t see me because I’m not vaccinated but he didn’t mention this when I made the appointment with him personally. He demanded to know why I wasn’t. I felt he was rude and out of order particularly as he failed to mention this requirement. Looking around the office I think I dodged a bullet.

Dr. Fish is a great chiropractor. He very quickly put an end in a pain I had on my back for weeks. Congratulations to him.

Dr. Fish is the best Chiropractor around. I have been seeing him for over 10 years . He is the only Dr I trusted to see my daughter when she was a teenager. His office is very well run. He also doesn’t hesitate to send you for a test ( CT or MRI, etc,) to confirm his diagnosis before treatment if necessary. I highly recommend him !

Dr Fish is very a knowledgeable, skilled and kind Chiropractic doctor. He took the time to explain my medical condition and recommended treatment. I instantly felt better after my visit. He truly cares about making you better. The office is conveniently located and parking is easy. I recommend Dr Fish.

I have been going to chiropractors for over a decade now, and out of all them I can confidently say Dr. Fishs treatments have benefited me the most. I have been seeing him for a little over three years now and over that time period he has helped me work through a myriad of issues, both old and new, many of which I had previously assumed where going to simply be a permanent part of my life. But not all pain has to be chronic pain and thanks to Dr.Fish I no longer live in a constant state of pain and discomfort.

I am not local to Dr. Fish, but he has been remotely helping me to identify a number of different issues and has guided me in finding appropriate specialists who can treat them. There is one issue in particular (which later x-rays and an MRI confirmed) that he caught - just by listening to me on the phone - that never occurred to my local spine specialist to check for. I would be at an absolute loss for treatment right now without his guidance.

About 6 weeks ago I was running on the treadmill and my feet began to ache so bad I could not continue. After a while my shins and calf muscles started to ache too. It was so bad that I had trouble walking. I took ibuprofen and hoped it would go away. After a couple of weeks like this I knew I had to do something. I saw Dr. Fish. He diagnosed me with shin splints, calf muscle strain, and plantar fasciitis - he said it was all due to having flat feet and not wearing the proper footwear. Dr. Fish treated me with dry needle therapy (kind of like acupuncture), deep tissue massage, and electrical therapy. Then he manipulated my feet and ankles. Within a couple of treatments I was much better - I could walk normally! Dr. Fish is really a good doctor!

When I first came to Dr. Fish, I was having trouble walking because of a muscle problem.I could not get up a set of stairs. After two treatments, I was doing much better.Dr. Fish is attentive and has a nice bedside manner.

Dr. Fish treats pathways. He heals by taking a holistic approach to your root cause of pain or discomfort. He is extremely knowledgeable and conservatively gets results!Being a fellow healthcare provider, I can sometimes be deemed a difficult patient. However after being diagnosed with a herniated C6, things became very real for me. I was at the mercy of the numbing sensation that Ive never experienced before. I tried PT and acupuncture .... with no pronounced success.Dr. Fish was highly recommended to me by 5 colleagues of mine who had various musculoskeletal issues and was successfully treatment by him.After Dr. Fishs attention to my disc issue, I am back to feeling 100%.I confidently recommend Dr. Fish!

Dr. Fish is great. He is the person I always go to when I can’t pinpoint my issue. He has always been able to figure out the problem and fix when others have not. He is extremely thorough and knowledgeable.

Dr. Fish is the most knowledgeable Chiro doctor Ive met. He explains everything clearly and in detail which helps me understand whats going on. I feel confident that we are treating the root issues. His techniques are in depth and varied, moreso than other doctors. Dr. Fish clearly has extensive knowledge of his profession.

Dr. Fish is very thorough. He doesnt have a lot of patients in at once so his attention is focused. He has a comprehensive understanding of the interactions of the anatomy.

Dr. Fish is fantastic. In the time I was under his care I received treatment for my neck, ankle and IT bands, each of which exceeded my expectations. He is also trained as an osteopathic physician, which gives him a unique and thorough understanding of the body. Unlike many chiropractors, Dr. Fish will treat you only as much as you need, then completely discharge you, without any unnecessary follow-ups. He has numerous treatment modalities including ultrasound, needling, and electricity therapy. Not to mention he is a walking encyclopedia of musculo-skeletal medicine.

My exchange with Dr Fish was brief and unpleasant. I felt like the first virtue any chiropractor should have is PATIENCE. He might be good I dont know (never got to the treatment part) but straight out cold.

For the last one and half year I have been searching for some one to diagnose the problem that started with knee pain. Going from one doctor telling me I have this issues or that issue etc with no treatment making me feel better, Dr. Fish finally diagnosed the issues which has nothing to do with short legs.First meeting was all about diagnosis and then onwards its treatments.I have not seen such treatments anywhere they are unique but most importantly they work wonders and magic.My neck pain is gone, knee pain nearly gone , ankle and knee swelling gone and lower back pain gone. Finally I know I am on the right track as the treatments are working great. I wish I had found him last year I would have been running marathons by now but I know I will be doing that in near future soon.I recommend anyone suffering from muscles or biomechanics issue to see Dr. Fish. I wasted my year and half searching for a good doctor, I hope no one else have to.

This is best Chiropractor I have been met. my shoulder pain immediately gone after one treatment. My friends hand need a surgery, I recommend him to see Dr. Fish , after 3 times treatment, the problem is gone, he just need to follow some good exercise to keep the good result, He was so happy to avoid a surgery which was suggested by other hand doctor.

Dr. Fish is the best chiropractor, hands down! My husband and I have been seeing him for 20 years and he’s the real deal. From whiplash to herniated discs to low back pain and the list goes on. No over manipulating or simply treating you like every other patient that comes through the door. He goes above and beyond to find the root cause of the issue and won’t treat you if he knows it’s not in your best interest. Most chiros will cram as many on their schedule as they can and patients always suffer with that mentality, not Dr. Fish. He understands not just the musculoskeletal system, but how the other body systems play a part (or not) in your sxs/condition. Well I could go on and on but bottom line you will not find anyone that knows their stuff like this man! All the excellent reviews don’t lie:)

Review №24

I went to Dr. Fish after I started having severe neck pain and very limited range of motion. I have always had chronic neck and back pain that I thought could be relieved with just massages. However, a quick check-up by Dr. Fish revealed a neck fracture, which was confirmed through an X-Ray and CT scan.My later appointments with him addressed my muscular imbalance (thanks scoliosis), as well as dormant back muscles and poor posture caused by the office lifestyle. Throughout my rehabilitation process, he used a combination of manual manipulation, dry needling, electrotherapy, cold laser therapy, and parodic humor. As others have said before me, I really appreciate how he explained what was wrong with my body (and my life choices) and walked me through the techniques he was using.Beyond his treatment during our sessions, he gave me take-home exercises to help me rehabilitate before our next session. Each session utilized different techniques depending on how well I had followed his take-home care instructions, so do your homework. Hell know. This flexibility showed how proficient he is at his work.Due to the severity of my injuries, I started out with two sessions per week. When I got to a point where I had recovered from my neck injury, we cut down our sessions to once a week, with more focus on physical therapy to improve my back muscle strength. He gave me simple, effective rehabilitative exercises to do at home and pointed me to an excellent reformer Pilates instructor. As someone who has always been active in martial arts, it was refreshing to be able to regain my flexibility and core strength without the pain.Sadly, I parted ways with Dr. Fish when I moved. I have yet to find a physician as knowledgeable and effective as him. By pointing me in the right direction to correct my muscular imbalance and prevent future injuries, I am holding up much better than before.

Dr. Fishs knowledge and expertise of a wide variety of medical issues has been crucial to treating and managing my TMD, along with other medical issues. He also suggested much lower cost alternatives, like a $30 TMJ appliance from Target or Walgreens instead of the $1,000 one a dentist tried to sell me that was the same model/style.From his acute observations he can figure out issue area without me fully telling him and was the first medical professional to recognize me issues with walking! Hes given me exercises and orthotics to help correct the issue.I bought my orthotic insole inserts and custom orthotic sandals from his clinic that have been amazing. The custom sandals have helped me tremendously during the summer and I received some compliments on them for looking comfortable. The insert company even did some custom adjustments for a specific issue on my right foot. These inserts are better than the ones I spent 4x the amount on at the podiatrists office.Dr. Fish is easy to work with by listening to fully understand the issues going on and how they may be connected. He takes his time with his patients. He provides cost-effective solutions and exercises I can do at home.

I must say and need to share with the world. In all the chaotic world of Obama care, doctor mills, etc., Dr. Fish is a true diamond in the rough. Not only is he the real deal when a doctors is sworn in to take care of his/her patients, the man knows his stuff. You can say what you want but the proof is in his results. I was recently diagnosed with carpel tunnel for my hands but one visit with Dr.Fish and am I glad I didnt get surgery as suggested by 3 other doctors. Its been over 3 months since that visit and my hands have never fealt or been better. Ok so you can say he got lucky, the answer is No. He is truly the doctor whom knows what he is doing and cares for his patients. Because he has fixed my back, a recently rolled ankle and I feel great every time I see him.Thank you kindly Dr.Fish for making my life easier and more enjoyable.

Review №29

Dr. Fish has helped me in ways I didnt think possible. Ive suffered with severe lower back pain for years. Ive consulted with my general practitioner, and Ive seen numerous chiropractors and massage therapists. I was referred to Dr. Fish by my current general practitioner. Dr. Fish did the most thorough exam on me that Ive ever had. He pinpointed some of my other general aches and pains (I slouch like basically everyone else who uses a computer all day for work), and we talked about how to help with those. Curiously enough, when he applied pressure to my lower abdomen, pain shot through to my back. He didnt adjust me that day, but wound up referring me to my OB/GYN, who in turn discovered that I was suffering from ovarian cysts which were ultimately the cause of much of my pain. Ive since had these cysts treated, and I return to Dr. Fishs office for routine adjustments for my shoulders, neck, and upper back!
