This surgery was great. I just had issues with my first surgery with her at Central Dupage Hospital. The post-surgery recovery nurses felt that I should not have gone home due to how sick I was after surgery. Dr. Fischer would not ok with being admitted overnight, which caused me to go home at 11 pm. and then back to her office at 9 am. I think that was very difficult for the severity of the surgery and recovery.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
