Dr fishman is part of the finest team in the US Tampa general hospital and the Drs that do the heavy lifting Dr Jorge Marcet and Douglas reintgen best surgeons anywhere always respect your peers saved my life and my son.......The DeSear family Bradenton

Dr. Fishman treated me with respect explained everything so I could understand him and my disease.

I’ve been seeing Dr Fishman since 2020 after being diagnosed with cancer. He was, ok at the start. But my last appointment (via zoom) he delayed and delayed and finally his staff told me he was going to be so late that we should reschedule. Then he billed my insurance for a visit that we never had. I highly recommend finding another doctor. When it comes to your health, this doctor lets you feel like a number. Just another case.

There are not enough stars to reflect the quality of care Dr. Fishman gave my husband. Dr. Fishman helped my husband survive his prognosis by several years. His brilliant technical expertise is matched only by his kindness, wit and willingness to help.

He’s kept me going for more than 13 years. I’ve been stage 4 for the whole time. He’s the man !

My husband John Dejesus was Dr.Fishman's patient for 6 out of 8 years he battled renal cell carcinoma. John was stage 4 when diagnosed,given 11/2-2 years survival rate in June of 2010. John lived 8 years with renal cell,there were many trial and tribulations in those 8 years and Dr.Fishman was the catalyst to John living a pretty good life up until a few months before he became my Angel. Dr.Fishman was our go to for everything because he knew how to calm the waters of fear I had when John wasn't feeling well. Dr.Fishman,thank you for keeping me calm when I felt like I was losing my mind. Thank you for always being there for my Superhero..Michele Rodriguez

I was his patient at Moffitt Cancer Center when, ~5 years after a nephrectomy for clear-cell renal carcinoma, the cancer returned, spreading to my lung, liver and abdominal lymph nodes. I was 67 years old at the time (now going on 82 and doing fine). Was treated with HDIL2 and have been cancer-free ever since. The odds were very much against my surviving. Thanks to Dr. Fishman and the Moffitt staff I continue to be in good health!

My husband is currently under the care of Dr Fishman and we couldn’t ask for a better oncologist! During this uncertain time (cancer, COVID-19, etc), Dr Fishman has been proactive with information, results, and next steps. For example, upon receipt of lab work, Dr Fishman will send an email to my husband to explain what it means. There’s no need for endless waiting, office calls, answering services, etc - we can trust and rely on Dr Fishman to reach out with all the information we need (via email or call, depending on the topic). During any video calls or office visits that I’ve attended, Dr Fishman is ready and willing to answer any questions. He never rushes-us-along to get to the next patient. I’m so glad my husband found Dr Fishman. He is nothing like the “stereotypical Doctor experience” (many Drs seem inaccessible or impossible to reach without a scheduled appointment or endless phone-tag). My husband is still battling cancer but making great progress under Dr Fishman’s care. Thank you Dr Fishman!

I’m a 33 year old Registered Nurse with stage IV renal cell carcinoma. It’s been a whirlwind since my September 2018 diagnosis and Dr. Fishman was the expert and breath of fresh air I truly needed. He is kind and personable, not to mention brilliant at his craft and easy to talk to. He has a great sense of humor and communicated extremely well-straight shooter. I’ve been consistently frustrated and underwhelmed by Moffitt. Do your research, they’re not all they’re cracked up to be-truly a shell of whatever they used to be. You will be a number at Moffitt (particularly in their GU department) and will be lucky to get 10 minutes with a disinterested provider, whether NP, PA, or MD. I’ve seen four oncologists (including one at Cleveland Clinic main campus and two at Moffitt) and Dr. Fishman blows them out of the water. He answered questions nobody else would or could and gave me easy to understand medical evidence for each treatment. I have the highest level of confidence in him and he will be the physician I look to going forward with this difficult to treat cancer. I implicitly trust him with all life altering decisions moving forward.

He miss diagnosed my son. He was my sons doctor and he didn’t deserve the trust my son put in him. My son died due to his incompetence.
