Margaret B Fischer Md's Online Review Report Card

I like the doctor, but I wonder why she won’t fax my cardiologist the monitor readings she had me undergo twice. The staff and the doctor claim the info was faxed to my cardiologist, but they never received it. My ablation was ok for two weeks, and then my irregular heartbeats came back. The fact that they won’t communicate with other doctors is not good. The office staff need to be replaced.

I honestly can’t say enough about Dr. Fischer. When she and I met, I had been suffering through years of afib episodes. I had seen multiple cardiologists over the years, and in the months leading up to my appointment with her I was having an episode almost weekly—with one that put me in the emergency room for 12 hours waiting for my heart to go back into rhythm. I had seen another highly recommended EP in the area, but made an appointment with her for a second opinion. Dr. Fischer is one of the most empathetic, knowledgeable, kind, and thorough doctors I have ever met. After years of trying to figure out why I was having these episodes, it was so comforting to be with a doctor who could empathize with my frustration and help me feel like I wasn’t crazy. Her empathy brought me to tears. I knew she was my doctor. My afib episodes had ramped up to the point where she gave me my two options: a medication for the rest of my life, or a cardiac ablation. She felt that I was a good candidate and walked me through the entire procedure. I knew in my gut that I was in good hands, and I elected to go through the surgery. She was equally lovely to my family and friends who came to the hospital the day of my surgery. Especially to my mother, who was beside herself with worry. She took the time to speak to my parents before the procedure to set their minds at ease and checked in with them after. She fielded all of my mother‘s follow up questions (there were many)about the healing process and caring for me post surgery. I honestly couldn’t have asked for more from her from a bedside manner…she is truly exceptional as a doctor in all aspects. Three years later, I have not had any afib episodes that last longer than a second or two. And because she was so good at explaining what to expect post surgery, I didn’t panic when they happened. I often say that she gave me my life back, and I mean it. I no longer worry when I go away on trips, I no longer obsess over making sure I have my medications with me everywhere I go—she has removed so much stress from my life. The procedure was truly life-changing and I will be forever grateful to her.

This office staff is totally incompetent. The doctor is great but without competent support staff to communicate anything regarding scheduling, follow up and call backs in a timely manner....you are best suited might to go somewhere else.

I first met Dr. Fischer in the ER due to bradycardia. My first impression of Dr. Fischer was very very good! She had warm and kind personality. Rooted in years of experience I knew I was in good hands. The solution was to have a pacemaker implant. Dr. Fischer would be my surgeon. I couldn't have been happier! She did an amazing job! Her entire team walked me through each step and made adjustments as I recovered. There's no words to describe Dr. Fischer and her team except angels/Godsent. I highly recommend her practice. Thank you Dr. Fischer, Sarah, Jim, Sarah, and the entire staff!

Dr Margaret Bell Fischer has been a true blessing to our family. We spent almost a year seeing cardiologist with no answers. My daughter suffered from chest pains, etc several days a wk. We finally saw a wonderful Cardiologist who found the issue and sent us to see Dr. Fischer and she was able to help our daughter with medication. I would definitely recommend her to other parents of children with cardio issues. She is absolutely amazing.

Wrong diagnosis and uncaring. All she wants is money and referring for invasive procedures. Go elsewhere!

The staff is not professional. Personal conversations can be overheard from the waiting room. The office is crowded without enough seating. The office needs painting and the furniture is quite dirty. Nurse practitioners call with vital information rather than the doctor. Difficult to speak to doctor personally. Definitely gives the impression of an office not well run or managed. Makes me question the ability of the doctors.

I was a sophomore in high school with an irregular heart beat. She fixed that by doing an oblation. She is an amazing doctor and I would recommend her to anyone with an irregular heart beat.
