I transitioned to the care of Dr. David Carl Fisher last year and have had three in person visits and two phone contacts (My chart responses). It is a comfortable relationship and I trust him as he agreed, in my initial interview, to oversee the care of my last illness and treatments to prevent pain as possible. I am 82 years old and I realize I have already exceeded the projected female life…

In December, 2020 I saw Dr. David Fisher in Cincinnati and I had what appeared to be a swollen lymph node on my neck. I was preparing to leave Cincinnati to go to Phoenix, AZ for the winter. He prescribed an antibiotic and told me emphatically if the swelling was not gone in 2 weeks, I should see an oncologist. in the Phoenix area. I was able to get an appointment at M D Anderson Cancer Center…

Terrific doctor. Engaging, professional. Takes time to discuss issue. Both current health issue and preventive behavioral ideas. I came to doctor Fisher after long term doctor retired. Had some difficulty finding a new primary care physician but have been extremely happy found doctor Fisher. In fact, I recommended him to my wife who tells me how much she trust his advice an recommendations…

My personal physician of 30 years passed away 3 years ago and was replaced by Dr.Fisher.
I had struggled with symptoms resembling Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for 10+ years and my original doctor tried every test and various specialists in an unsuccessful effort to diagnose and treat this condition.
My symptoms included debilitating fatigue, nausea, swollen glands, lip sores, loss of appetite, and poor sleep, along with the need for daily naps.
These symptoms were present 3-6 months a year, were unpredictable and varied in intensity. They could be triggered by any significant exertion. I was hypersensitive to colds and flu which I caught easily and their symptoms could last many weeks, all on top of what I have just listed. All symptoms were eased by taking the maximum dose of Tylenol and Advil, daily, which I did for months at a time.
At my second consult with Dr.Fisher he concluded that the cold sores that always accompanied the onset of my malaise were a result of a virus that was triggering the constellation of other symptoms. He prescribed a medication which I take daily and which cured everything, instantly.
In addition to restoring my health, energy, and quality of life I was able to stop taking the massive doses of Tylenol and Advil I was on. Unbeknownst to me, I was also suffering from moderately severe kidney disease due to years of taking those medications in order to manage my malaise. After 6 months off those over-the-counter medications my tests showed that my kidney function was normal.
I can not say enough about what a difference Dr. Fisher has made in restoring my health but I think that the results speak for themselves.

Review of Dr. David Fisher, MD
I am writing this review to express my deep concern and disappointment with the actions of
Dr. David Fisher, MD, from Cincinnati, Ohio. My father-in-law, a Vietnam War veteran, has
been under his care since January 12, 2024. Despite the initial continuity of care, we have
recently experienced a distressing situation that has put my father-in-law's health at risk.
Dr. Fisher, who had been filling my father-in-law's prescriptions for several narcotics
(medications he has relied on for over 20 years due to chronic pain), suddenly decided to
terminate his patient status, effective May 29th. While it is within a doctor's rights to
choose their patients, what followed this decision is what I find most alarming.
After receiving the termination letter, my father-in-law, understandably upset, expressed his
frustration to a nurse at the doctor's office. In response, Dr. Fisher has chosen to withhold
all of his medications and refuse to call in his refills. This abrupt cessation of necessary
medication not only goes against the promise of continued care until the termination date
but also puts my father-in-law in a dangerous position, as he could suffer life-threatening
reactions from not having these medications.
It is deeply concerning that a healthcare professional would choose to put a patient in
harm's way in retaliation for harsh words. Especially considering that my father-in-law is a
combat veteran diagnosed with PTSD, it is crucial to approach such situations with
understanding and empathy.
In conclusion, I find Dr. Fisher's actions to be highly unprofessional and potentially
dangerous. It is essential for doctors to uphold their Hippocratic Oath to do no harm, and in
this case, I believe Dr. Fisher has failed to do so. I hope this review serves as a reminder of
the importance of empathy, understanding, and professionalism in the medical field.

I was a patient of Dr Fisher’s for 10 years before he joined MDVIP. I was skeptical and unsure of value for price. Working directly through my physician and his staff rather than via a large corporate structure has proved to be a HUGE benefit. Affable familiar staff and lots more time with my doctor have been been refreshing and helpful.
Since my first review posting above, I remain HIGHLY satisfied with MDVIP and Dr Fisher and his staff. Access, attention, quality of care are all EXCELLENT. I can't imagine being happier with my health care team... including MDVIP.

Dr. Fisher and his staff have been terrific with my care! Highly knowledgeable, thorough and clearly focused on helping me. Best internal medicine team I’ve ever had over a 50 year period!!

While Dr. Fisher is nice enough, I would HIGHLY recommend seeing another doctor. I had some severe stomach issues and was losing weight and Dr. Fisher told me to get some OTC probiotics. Then when issues persisted and I called back to request lab work and bloodwork, he refused to order those tests. I then had to seek out a GI who did request for me to have those tests done, so he could properly treat me. So not only did Dr. Fisher not help me, he also put me weeks behind getting treatment as I had to have the GI order the tests. Bottom line, go to a different doctor who is actually thorough.

He doesn't even deserve one star. First and last visit...he has a horrible bedside manner! Would not recommend him. He was rude!

Dr Fisher is the best! I was having some problems in late 2015 and my previous Dr could not figure it out for 6 months. Moved to Dr Fisher 1/2016. Right away he knew something was wrong and ordered an MRI and other tests. The MRI found a brain tumor. He saved my life! I highly recommend!

Worst experience I've ever had with a Physician. I've seen Dr. CAMPBELL in this office for over 15 years but he recently retired and I got switched to Dr. Fisher. I came in to get a refill on my Concerta which Dr CAMPBELL has prescriber for me for 12+ years. Dr. Fisher asked who had written my last prescription for the Concerta and I explained to him that I had it filled in California where we also have a home and they wouldn't fill an out of state prescription for a controlled substance , which Concerta is, so I had to find a Dr. in California to prescribe it. This was the only prescription of Concerta that had ever been written outside of this office. Apparently not believing me, he informs me that he used to work in San Francisco and that is not the case. I told him it is most certainly is the case because I experienced it first hand. And for the record, if he calls any CVS in California or takes the time to look up California's Health and Safety Code section 11150 he would see that this is correct. He then informs me that he is not going to write a prescription for me because my story doesn't add up. Apparently the fact that he can easily verify that I've been prescribed Concerta for 12 + years from his very office should not be considered but the fact that I corrected him on California law means I must be a drug seeking patient! I've never met or more arrogant Dr. And would highly recommend you seek care elsewhere if you are looking for a competent physician.
Frequently Asked Questions
Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.
Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.
MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.
