Tampa, fl location...l Went to Dr. Fishman for an ime for herniated disc and he was very, extremely rude! a medical expert he is not. Told him about my pain and my leg automatically swelled on one side, even brought pictures from after the incident and he rudely cut me off and said he doesn't know what caused my leg swelling but it was not from my herniated disc injury?! What kind of expert Dr is he if he is saying a herniated disc does not cause swelling. This is a copy and paste from a google search of herniated disc symptoms....
"Sciatica produces pain in the lower back and down the legs from compression of the sciatic nerve. Other symptoms that can result from sciatic nerve compression or irritation include numbness, tingling, and swelling in the legs. " He even went so far as to say if you have a headache and you stubbed your toe, that does not mean that the stubbed toe caused the headache! Seriously that is how arrogantly obnoxious this man is!
I think he is a rude individual and I feel sorry for anyone that has to go see him. He is easily flustered and does not answer questions and cuts you off when you speak. Stay away from this guy!!! Location NOT handicap friendly at all, not good if he is "SUPPOSED TO BE A NEUROSURGEON WHICH TREATS SPINAL INJURIES?" where is your handrails for the stairs! No ramps only very slick stairs with absolutely NO HANDRAILS, thought that was a violation as well.
