So, received a package in the mail yesterday- my entire chart-literally--from Dr. Fisher's office--as I returned from my post op visit from my current OB-GYN. Hmmm, those records would have been beneficial months ago ( 6 to be exact), when first requested. I must say, it was a walk down memory lane reading all my notes/ labs and ultrasound photos of my kids ( I'm in medical, so I love this stuff). She really is an excellent physician. Ditch the entire front office. read more

Dr. Lisa Fisher is great. I've been her patient for about 7 years and have always had a good experience. I went in last month for my regular checkup, and she was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. She makes you feel comfortable and takes the time to explain things. I trust her and would definitely recommend her. read more

Very thoroughly explained things to me and answered my questions and I appreciate that. Even on a day when she was short staffed she took the time to answer my questions. Thank you read more

Sometimes it takes having time away from an experience to decide how it was... especially when it comes to traumatic childbirth and time to compare to subsequent birth experiences that are handled beautifully. Lisa is kind enough and demonstrates her knowledge just fine... but I do strongly feel I was mishandled. This was my first pregnancy, so I didn't know anything and needed guidance - if that's what you're looking for here, you won't find it. Example: I developed preeclampsia in the 3rd tri which I was NOT educated on or prepared for or given any warnings on what could happen (so I was not told to rest at all, which made it worse), had unaddressed hypothyroidism, was induced using a folly balloon (which completely destroyed me and prevented intercourse due to persistent pain and injury and eventual prolapse for over a year!), not offered epidural until late (so yes, folly balloon was JABBED in me by her without any pain management and was admittedly her FIRST time doing it)... here to tell you that I would take kidney stone + unmedicated delivery over a folly balloon any day. Hindsight I would have taken a c-section if i ever knew it was an option... it was never an option given to me. I was there for 2 days before giving birth with no food options until day of folly balloon which hurt so much I lost appetite. Lisa didn't show up until I was almost delivered (TG for the nurses!!) and she left right after (as I bled out and the nurse had to get the on-call doctor to examine me)... BP skyrocketed while in aftercare at hospital and not once was I given any means to control it (if you know anything about preeclampsia this is DANGEROUS symptom). Baby was underweight which is a direct result of preeclampsia and hypothyroidism... I was a HEALTHY and fit patient going into this and come from a long line of uncomplicated childbirth. A year later I asked for my medical records because I was moving out of state (which I have every right to ask for) and after requesting them multiple times over a month with no response or half a$$ excuses I walked into the office asking in person and she suddenly wanted to charge me $50 to get them (they hadn't even been prepared yet... like what was she hiding??) - the staff was super sweet and rolled their eyes at her random decision to charge and said she had NEVER charged before... she seemed delirious, disconnected from reality, and lacking compassion. Again, if this were my second pregnancy and I knew better I would have RUN from her office after first examination. My second pregnancy was nothing like this one and I had more external factors, including age, fitness, weight, stress, Covid, etc. that should have landed me in extreme risk zone but my new doctor was incredible and I had zero complications, a healthy baby, and no prolapse. For reference, because I remember other reviews mentioning race, I was 36 and Caucasian. So... she is equally ignorant. In summary, I was made to feel like my pregnancy was my problem and I needed to research everything she half heartedly mentioned and didn't emphasize the importance of (preeclampsia, thyroid, etc). I was gaslit into believing I was to blame for not having my thyroid medicated and not knowing that I shouldn't be as physically active with preeclampsia (the number of times I nearly fainted while going for walks due to high BP was INSANE!) ... just overall horrible "care" and treated more like a paycheck and experimental lab rat than a patient. One star because somehow I didn't die and neither did my baby... not a high bar. read more

I was a patient of Dr. Fisher for over a decade and always had a good experience with her, until she opened her own office. Without a centralized staff, the experience changed and so did my trust in her. The front desk staff is incompetent and rude. The phone is rarely answered, voicemail appears not to be checked (three of my messages were not received) and when you actually do go into the office for your appointment, the front desk staff doesn't greet or even acknowledge you. With so many obstacles to seeing Dr. Fisher, I gave up. I moved on and found a new doctor - Dr. McKindsey. Her office staff is helpful, competent and pleasant; and while she doesn't do pellet based HRT, she is well informed about other HRT options and a variety of other menopause related challenges. read more

She is been doing my Biote hormone replacement therapy and is been a great success for my menopause She is a great doctor! read more

This was the utmost Worst experience I could've imagined at an OB/GYN. First, they didn't have record of my appointment whatsoever when I showed up. THEY SENT MY TEST RESULTS TO MY EMPLOYER!!! To the COMPANY WIDE email address that literally the entire company has access to "ON ACCIDENT". And when I finally spoke to the doctor, she admitted that she personally wrote and sent the emails, and she laughed. This is not a sitcom. This is peoples real lives. And I am absolutely humiliated. I wish I was kidding. read more

I had doctor Fisher for my first two pregnancies 17 and 15 years ago. My firstborn was born premature due to no fault of Dr. Fisher but once she saw symptoms she was on it. Going back to her with me second was amazing because even though I typically don't like my hand held (and I've hear she is known for not being warm and fuzzy) she was thorough and calm with my second. Just what I needed. Wish I could've had her with my last but I moved to Kaiser. Staff was nice and caring as well. read more

I was a patient of Dr Scharffenberger's until he retired. Dr Fisher and he shared office space. I called the office number that I had for Dr Scharffenberger and the phone was answered for Dr. Fisher's office. The receptionist was EXTREMELY rude and dismissive. I wanted an authorization for a mammogram as I'm overdue. She informed me that I was not in the system! Where did all my records go? They are required by law to keep them!! I saw Dr Scharffenberger for over 30 years! I have to now find a new Dr. but don't know where to start. I would NEVER trust these people with my care. Extremely ANNOYED read more

Always professional, straight to the point , explains well, responsive. I had good experience so far.

Worst behavior shown by the office staff. Doctor was good and listened to me patiently. After consultation when I called in for my reports even after 11 days the office staff did not tell me whether the doctor has seen my reports or not or when will I get a call back. I was feeling sick due to my hormonal imbalance issue going on for more than 3 months. I left several voice messages and talked to the staff many times but no call was returned to me, neither any medication was given nor my reports were discussed. Very bad experience. read more

I was referred to Dr. Fisher. Yes, Dr. Fisher is not the warm & fuzzy doctor as mentioned in the other reviews. The office is busy & kids because there are two other doctors there... But from my own personal experience, Dr. Fisher will call you within 48 hours if your test results comes back poorly and something needs to be done right away. 3 years ago, there were precancerous cells that needed removal. She called within 24 hours of the test and I was on an operation table within the week. Now I am having issues with something else and I've been scheduled quickly to resolve the matter. If you want a Dr. to make small talk during exam or hug you at the end of your annual exam, don't go to her. But if you want a doctor that will call you back, call/take care of you in times of trouble, and answer all questions before & after, go to Dr. Fisher. read more

You either love Dr. Fisher or if you don't you're probably better off with someone completely different. For me, she's the perfect doctor. She's honest, straight to the point, and confident in her answers. And with WebMD and MayoClinic making it super easy to bring out my cyberchrondriac side, having someone like her explain in a matter-of-fact manner that she's seen my symptoms/test results plenty of times before is extremely reassuring. But she's never dismissive of actual potential issues. I had a potential "maybe cancer" scare that required a biopsy and Dr. Fisher was so calm and reassuring, and showed me my file as she answered my questions, I left in a much better mental/emotional state than when I came in (even though I still didn't know my results at this point). Fast forward a week later, I had a voicemail from Dr. Fisher that I didn't have cancer (Yay!) Come to think of it, I also appreciate that it's always Dr. Fisher that calls me/leaves me voicemails instead of delegating it to someone else. Also, I love the fact that someone always answers the phone!! Yes, it may not be a big deal, but with my last ob-gyn I was referred to I played phone tag before even scheduling my first appointment and I gave up on them.... so I appreciate everyone at this office :) 5 stars for the doctors and staff. 4 stars only because I'm a millennial who is spoiled by the internet and wants all my results and appointments view-able online lol that's really the only thing missing :) read more

Nearly an hour late for my appointment because she had a surgery of which I was not informed until I poked my head out of the room after 45 minutes of waiting. Then when she finally arrived, she saw a patient who came in later than I did. Not my usual doctor, and I think I will reschedule if my doctor is ever not available in the future. I have seen at least one other patient leave the lobby after waiting over an hour to see her. Not okay. Edit: Added an extra star because, once she did get to me, she answered all of my questions and granted my requests without issue. read more

I have been seeing Dr Lisa Fisher since I was in high school getting my annual check up. I absolutely love her she was always honest and straight to the point. She was very formative and always supportive On my decisions on where I wanted to deliver. She delivered my son at Torrance memorial. Through out my pregnancy she was very professional and she caught my sons condition when he wasn't even born yet, and I thank her deeply for it. When I was in labor she was nothing but amazing and her staff on her team taking care of me were fantastic. read more

I had a terrible experience with Dr. Fisher. She was unmoved and rude when it came to my exam and dismissive when I came to her with concerns about my uterine cysts and unhelpful with trying to explain the steps of diagnosing my potential endometriosis. I have a lot of anxiety with pelvic exams and she didn't care or try to make the process any easier. I would never recommend her to anyone if you have these issues. The front office girls were great though and I cannot speak for the other doctor but if you are uneasy about the gynecologist, I would never go to Dr. Fisher as she would discourage lots of people from getting the care needed. read more

She has been my ObGyn for so many years. Delivered my daughter with extra care. The best!

Ok, so removing my original rating for Dr. Fisher. Yes, she's not a very personable, fun, bubbly person... but everybody can't be that way, right? I mean, c'mon, even I'm not like that. Sometimes, yes, but not all the time. Anyway, I'm giving her 4 stars because her care and service is great! She was awesome with my son (born March 2012), and I'm sure she'll be awesome with this little baby (due September 2013). read more

This doctor is slow and unfriendly. Came in for a routine monthly appt, granted I was late 15 mins due to road construction, but had to wait over 1 hour. Would recommend looking elsewhere for an OB GYN. read more

Dr. Fisher is kind of rude and seems to have a problem with other nationalities, she was rude when I told her that last time on my reports my vitamin B12 was low she said that's the common problems with INDIAN as they eat bread and rice only which converts into sugar,so thats not true well and she did not order for my b12 checkup, I am going to change my doctor for sure, and second thing I have to wait for almost an hour because she was not there my appointment was 9AM and she checked me up around 10am. read more

It took me a long time to write this review because my experience with Dr. Fisher was so frustrating that I needed to gather my thoughts before writing a public post in anger. Dr. Fisher's conduct during labor with my daughter was less than professional and demoralizing. If you are looking for a doctor who values your opinion or your right to make choices about your child's birth she is NOT your gal. I saw Dr. Fisher for the entirety of my prenatal care and she delivered our baby. I have read the other reviews and I have to agree with most of you. She has an attitude that is straight to the point. I liked this about her at first because it lead me to believe that her answers to my questions were direct and heartfelt. I was under the impression that she was true to her word and confident in her decisions. I was wrong. Dr. Fisher made fear based choices regarding my labor that went against everything we had talked about up into that point. When I asked for clarification is was met with short statements about her credentials and no data or explanation to confirm her choices. She was baffled why I wouldn't blindly consent to her recommendations right away. My questions and requests were ignored. She spoke down to me, treated me like a child, and showed clear contempt for having to work with me. She continually ignored my one most basic request: to be informed/warned about anything happing during my labor. Instead she ran the show her way as if I was not an active party in the labor at all. I understand that laboring a child can change on a dime and that everyone's experience is different and met with their own unique challenges. I am not at all questioning her schooling or experience in a clinical sense. I have a large problem with her conduct in practice. I would not recommend Dr. Fisher to any of my friends. I feel that a mother at least deserves to be treated like she has a roll and say in the birth of her child. Labor is hard enough without having to fight to be heard by the caregiver you are paying to help you. The only reason I am wiling to give Dr. Fisher one star is because her office is very nice and clean. The staff is wonderful. The other doctors in her practice (who I have met) have been fantastic. I was not willing to see Dr. Fisher for any of my postpartum care and was able to see another doctor in the office who has been wonderful. read more

i really like dr. fisher AND everyone in her offfice! they are all caring and lovely!

i found dr. fisher online through my insurance network. she has lots of experience. although it's my first pregnancy, i've been doing a lot of research/reading/talking to people on my own, so I kind of like that she gets to the point (and because i hate small talk too). that way i'm not spending more time at the doctor's than necessary. she always asks if i have any questions and is professional and courteous. definitely trustworthy, and the other staff makes your visit that much nicer. all of the office staff are friendly and helpful and try to do as much as they can to inform you and make you comfortable. four stars because twice i've had to wait a bit long to see her. (once for 30 minutes, once for 45!) read more

Dr. Fisher is a great doctor, but is not warm at all. Never asks questions on how you are doing or anything warm/fuzzy. If you want a doctor that is kind, switch!. If you want a doctor that knows what she is doing and you don't care feeling like the doctor cares, keep her! read more

I was referred to her as a great obgyn fertility doctor. I was told in advance that she was not really the warm and fuzzy kind. I did go anyway considering the professional advice is more important. Not only her staff is rude but she is has attitude and not very clear on her instructions therefore everything was a disaster. In the meantime I am the one in pain with all the wrong medications. I am changing doctors...what a waste of time when i could be pregnant by now i have to start over. read more

I am new to California and this practice was referred by a friend. I am not sure what all the negative hype is about on Dr. Fisher. I saw her last week as a new patient and she was AWESOME. She was very patient, helpful, and informative to me. I would recommend her to anyone if you are looking for a detailed comprehensive OB. :) read more

Dr. Lisa Fisher is one of the best doctors we have ever seen.She is very friendly and answers our questions with utmost patience. She is highly experienced and we don't need to worry for anything as long as we let her know our problems.In fact she knows when the baby is about to born :-) I definitely recommend her for all Obstetrics & Gynecology needs. read more

I came to Dr. Fisher for a preventive check up. It was my first time seeing her and she was very friendly, reassuring and actually took the time to discuss any concerns or questions I had. I felt comfortable even though I was naked. She even did an ultra sound for free because she wanted to figure out the logistics of my uterus to make a better contraceptive recommendation. read more

If I could give no stars I would, I've heard bad things about Dr. Fisher, but, my doctor was out of town, and I thought what the heck, I will give her a try. I was SO wrong, she has a chip on her shoulder and a big attitude. I was talked to as if I was a child. I would never recommend Dr. Fisher, I left the office in tears, and it takes a lot to make me cry. read more

She may not be bubbly, but there is no lack of politeness here. Love her get to the point style. I had questions every time i went to her, and each time they were answered satisfactorily. It was my first pregnancy and she never gave me a reason to worry. She does not waste time in idle talk and tells you exactly whats good for you. What more to expect from a good doctor. She calls back personally every time you leave her a message. And if i am not relocating, she definitely is chalked in for my next pregnancy. read more

I agree with the other reviews. Totally not warm and fuzzy. She also doesn't explain things very well and is a bit condescending when throwing around medical terms. I'm a patient, not a doctor and I don't know medical terminology. read more
