I have always found Dr Fishman very professional and courteous . He takes the time to explain issues , although, naturally, in these circumstances it is difficult to take in all the advice. However, he is very good at responding promptly to any further queries sent to him by email that I may have been unclear on. I have great confidence in Dr Fishman and know that issue such as mine cannot be diagnosed easily without tests.
