I had a late PM appt. She actually sat with me past closing time & we talked. I didn't feel rushed -- and was able to discuss my health concerns and she didn't watch a clock!

I switched my daughter's care to Dr. Fisher-Wright when our insurance changed. I really like her. She's very helpful, is a patient advocate and doesn't ever push decisions with me. My daughters health and well being are very important to me and she understands that and lets me decide the best course of action for our family. I would highly recommend Dr. Fisher-Wright.

Dr. Fischer Wright is one of the best physicians I have had in my lifetime. She listens, she is informative, and most of all she is an advocate. She took over my care when I was in a desperate situation, and went to bat with me with L&I over my back injury. Her colleague not only misdiagnosed my injury - but I felt treated me like a fraud who was trying to milk the system. Dr. Fischer Wright is one of the best doctors I know. I would trust her with my life. I work in the medical field and she is a top notch doctor. She is positive, knowledgable and 100% a patient advocate.

This doctor is fine if you have a cold or flu. If it is anything more difficult, you are immediately referred to another doctor. She is only a part-time doctor who works 3 days a week. She is never on call Friday-Sunday. Her service does not have access to your records so they cannot handle you. For 90% of all calls done after hours, simple prescriptions are never given and the patients are told to go to the ER. No email, no online scheduling and once the office is closed at 5PM, all call go to the service and will not contact the doctor. This office responds 50-60% of the time to your calls. The office contains no RNs and cannot give shots or IVs. Prescription refills take anywhere from 3-7 days with multiple calls from patient needed. Patients must call in to get information about diagnostic tests run. Most diagnoses come from an online data base (similar to WebMD) on a computer screen in front of the doctor and little online experience is used. Time with doctor is limited to 10min
