Dr. Fisher is a great neurologist who has been treating me for 10+ years! I am sad that he is "retiring" from seeing clinic patients but wish him success in his future endeavors! He is patient & kind.

Verified SHC Patient

Dr. Fisher is one of the top epileptologists in the country, and I know many both locally and nationally having been involved on the non-profit side. He has the uncanny combination of unsurpassed medical knowledge, care for patients, and genuinely truly listens to a patient's opinions and concerns. Only one other doctor at Stanford has come close. The majority are not in the ballpark on any of these measures.
