Michael Fishman, DPM

Dr. Fishman is the best of the best. Not only is he amazing but his office staff are awesome. When I call for a appointment the girls who answer the phones are always very friendly and very helpful at trying to find a date and time that fit MY schedule. I have a hectic schedule so I can only go in on specific days and the girls are always so good about finding me a appointment. I have called the office for questions for the Doctor and the girls always communicate very well with myself and Dr. Fishman and always get my questions answered in a timely manner. The office is beautiful and always looks so neat and clean, exactly what you want to see when you walk in a Doctors office. Its very rare to have such a personable relationship with your Podiatrist and also his staff. Wish I could give more stars!!!

heck NO! to 4 stars.Dr. Fishman deserves the 5 stars with flashing lights! My son has been suffering from HUGE plantar warts for months. none of the over the counter treatments worked. finally found Dr. Fishman on Unilocal and was prompted by the reviews to see him. My son was in pain and the warts, by the time we saw him, had babies and grand babies. this was after months of over the counter treatments.Yes. the Bleomycin shots were not exactly pleasant. but my son’s family of warts disappeared in 2 weeks. And the best part.Dr. Fishman only did one foot and the other foot responded as well… like he said it might do. Both healed with just one foot being treated. hallelujah! Being a nurse and knowing the science behind it. with education from Dr. Fishman and research. I can attest it really works and trust his future treatment plans.

If I had to do it again I would not use the $ 350 shot not covered by insurance for plantar’s wart. It did not go well. I’ve been in pain for almost a month. I developed a blister which caused a potential infection. Dr. Fishman is a good doctor and prepared me that it could be painful but just saying it was not worth the pain for a plantar’s wart. I would opt for freezing and frequent visits first. He responds quickly to calls and called in a medication and it is slowly improving. If you’re trying to decide to due the shot and you’re sensitive to medication, I would not do it.

Dr. Fishman is amazing! I recently visited Dr. Fishman for a minor infection I had and my experience was honestly wonderful. The office is brand new, beautifully decorated and very clean. The staff was unbelievably accommodating and very patient with all the questions I had. The wait for the Doctor was minimal.
Once I met with Dr. Fishman, he was super kind and really took good care of me! He was very gentle with my really sore foot. I already made an appointment to go back and be molded for orthotics. I have heard his orthotics are the best in the business. I look forward to going back!

A doctor with good bedside manners. He explains things and you can ask him anything. He doesn’t hurry the patient like other doctors.

Dr Fishman is awesome. We went for a diagnosis and advise. He is very honest and thorough. He explained clearly and gave us options of treatment including success rate estimates. He is very kind, patient and attentive.

I have always had chronic lower back pain. Some days would be worse then others. I’ve always had a feeling that my flat feet were the cause of my troubles. Dr. Fishman made some awesome inserts for my shoes and there goes the back pain. I’ve been using them for almost two months and you can feel the difference. If you have flat feet and experience back pain, you should schedule an appointment with the doc!

Went in for my ingrown toenail today and it was quickly taken care of Dr. Fishman is great with injections and he was quick! Easiest/​painless procedure I have ever had, I’m going to recommend him to anybody with foot problems.

–after trying some reserved options I had a partial plantar fascia release done by Fishman in September 2015. I was given a recovery time of 8 weeks. The surgery went great and I have gone back to my regular activities which happen to include heavy weightlifting and throwing on a daily basis
–with continued use of my orthotics and daily stretching my foot has held up very well. I recently just broke my school weight throw record in February 2016 just a little over 5 months after surgery. Best doctor I could have possibly chosen to get me out of my plantar fascia misery and back to throwing just in time for my last season as a college athlete.

Dr. Fishman is the third doctor who made me orthotics this year and the first one where they work perfectly. I am back to walking for miles. Pain gone. He is a master of orthotics and my feet are pretty problematic. Don’t spend time and money going to others– I’ve been to some «top» guys in the field. Just go here. Small, local, normal place with a truly gifted doctor.

My husband stepped on a piece of wood and a small chunk went and stayed inside his foot.
I took him to urgent care and thought nothing was inside and prescribed him some antibiotics to prevent infection. We went to a podiatrist in Riverside 2 months later, because it wasn’t healing and always getting infected. Knowing how long it has been, this podiatrist cut his foot open digging in blindly to get the piece out. This caused a bigger wound and he got nothing out. We must have visited him on a regular basis and he kept prescribing antibiotics, did an Xray (which was pointless since he knew that wood does not show in Xray), and ultrasounds every visit (he charged us $ 150 for every pointless ultrasound) He did say that was worried about doing a surgery on my husband’s foot, because he did not want to cause any nerve or muscle damage.
After 6 months of dealing with pain and infection, not being able to step on his foot, I convinced my husband to see another podiatrist, Dr Fishman.
Dr Fishman was shocked with what’s happening. He warned us that if a wound that does not show healing signs within 2 to 3 weeks, you should know something is definitely wrong.
He ordered same day MRI for us. We drove an hour to see him, and he felt responsible to take care of my husband, even though we just met him. His sense of responsibility towards his patients makes him an amazing podiatrist. His staff were super helpful and friendly. They spent a while on the phone with the MRI center to get us in, same day and between appointments. MRI was done, and come to find out that there’s a piece of wood pushed into the muscle and causing infection. Dr Fishman ordered immediate surgery. He was very efficient, helpful and responsible. He didn’t dig blindly inside my husband’s foot, after ordering a bunch of tests with no purposes as the other podiatrist did.
He was very confident and had no worries in regards to muscle or nerve damage.
He walked in to surgery knowing what he’s looking for and where to find it.
Surgery was performed and was easy. Wound was cleaned and closed completely with stitches for faster healing and to prevent infection. There was no concern with any muscle or nerve damage, and my husband was back on his feet within 3 weeks.
Dr Fishman is a genuine doctor that cares for his patients, professional, and instead of being overwhelmed with patients, he overwhelms his patients with care and attention.

I came back here two weeks later to do another procedure. It went so smooth and easy. I definitely have to say this is probably one of the best podiatrists out there!
His concerns are not only about making sure our foot issue is resolved, but also making sure that the process is painless. You don’t get that too much from other doctors!
The staff is a reflection off of Dr. Fishman as well. Every time I come in here, they are nice, helpful and friendly. They were even able to squeeze me in to an appointment before the end of the year since my deductible was met!
I would definitely recommend seeing him if you are looking for a great podiatrist.

Dr. Fishman is an excellent podiatrist. Even though his office was supposed to be closed to patients for the day, he made time to see me after I told his assistant over the phone I was in a lot of pain. He is super friendly and makes you feel at ease from the second you meet him. The office is impecable and the staff is amazingly friendly.

Dr Michael Fishman and staff are absolute over the top.
Picture will speak for itself what Dr Fishman did. I am a gout patient. This place is highly recommended. I cant thank him enough but I know he changed my life. I am more active now than ever before in my life. Dr Fishman and staff, thank you so much.

If I could give 6 stars I would! Dr Fishman (and his staff) are amazing! He is SO great in explaining and not rushing at all. I had never been to a podiatrist before and I have had foot and ankle problems for years. He checked for all problems in both feet! I feel like so many times doctors now only want to deal with one ailment at a time anymore, not him! I would HIGHLY recommend him!

Dr. Fishman has a great way with his patients. Great with shots nearly pain free. I came in for a ingrown toenail and I was in and out quickly and the procedure was a breeze. Kelly and Antoinette are great embers of his staff. As a person who works in the medical field with many doctors I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Fishman is great! He is nice, friendly, knowledgable, and takes time with his patients. Whatever your problem might be, he will do his best to solve it. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a good podiatrist in the area. He’s professional, respectful and a great doctor. He has a beautiful office and a friendly and efficient staff.

My diabetic doctor recommended Dr. Fishman for an ulcer on my right foot. I have been in pain walking for almost 3 years. In 10 days, my foot was healed! Then he fitted me for orthotics. They came in 2 weeks early. My first few steps I was in disbelief: NO MORE PAIN! He had me walk the hallway. I had tears of joy streaming down my face! I am a 330 pound manly man from a refinery background, but doctor Fishman had me blubbering like a big old baby! If your feet hurt: GO SEE THIS YOUNG MAN! He knows his business. You will be happy you did. THANKS DOCTOR FISHMAN!

I have seen quite a few podiatrist in the last few years. Each one gave me a different diagnosis and none of them helped relieve all of the pain. Dr. Fishman addressed my concerns, was patient, and listened to what I had to say. He didn’t dismiss any of my own suspicions and walked through the basic bio-​mechanics with me. In less than 1 hour he addressed my issue without any injections or surgeries.
It was only my first visit and Dr. Fishman determined the cause of my issues by listening and observing.
If you want to get to the root of your problem without any un-​necessary procedures or hype, Dr. Fishman is your guy!
The front office staff were friendly, efficient, and on top of everything. I received the follow-​up call as promised and making the follow-​up appointment was a piece of cake.
Dr. Fishman’s office takes pride in providing a caring and effective medical environment. They definitely have all the qualities most medical offices are lacking in these days. I would give 6 stars if I could.

Dr. Fishman is a great doctor! I chose him from the Internet and am very LUCKY I found him.
He is very knowledgeable and professional.
Well, now I’ve had two surgery’s with him and both are perfect!!! Everyone needs to go to him for any foot/​feet/​ankle problem. He’s the BEST! It’s too bad I only have two feet!!!
Seriously he is a very fine doctor.
He just preformed a very difficult foot
surgery for me and it was a great success!

The best podiatrist I have been to. (I have many doctors). I would recommend him for any ankle/​foot issue you might have.
You will be very happy you did.
