What Clients Say
„As an NFL player, Brian kept me healthy and available every Sunday for five seasons — I owe a lot to his work.“
„The matters that demand physical therapy are very personal, and the stakes can be very high at times. As a person who teaches exercise for a living, this became very obvious to me upon my first traumatic injury. I met Brian through networking and it took about five seconds for me to like him. He’s sharp, professional, and friendly. Not only has he…Read full review
„After Tommy John surgery, Brian's prepared, hands-on rehab got me back to throwing and feeling great.“
„Brian is amazing. I have worked extensively with him on a few injuries I was working through. He developed a treatment plan that had me seeing improvements quickly. He corrected form where needed, and began working on strengthening areas to reduce further injury. He is extremely knowledgable and cares for his patients and their treatment.“
„Brian rehabbed my herniated disc and got me back to golf — now I see him weekly and always feel better afterward.“
„Brian has truly been a savior for me and my health needs! I started with him about four or so years ago, when he was with NorthOrthoCal. I had a shoulder impingement, and Brian really taught me so much about things I never knew about, and how the shoulder cuff is connected with the different areas surrounding, that are so important to our backs as…Read full review
„After two season-ending concussions, Brian's patience and dedication got me back to school and back on the volleyball court.“
„Brian is the best PT I have been to. He cares about his patients and getting you healthy. He has gotten me through several different injuries and is honest about his assessment and won’t BS you. I highly recommend him.“
„Brian fixed my tennis shoulder pain and built my all-around strength — and made every session genuinely fun.“
„Dr. Brian does his job with heart. His friendly approach, knowledge and understanding makes me feel like I am really in good hands! My body feels so good after he set me up individual program for my body problems. Big plus also for online session and quick responding! Thank you!“
„Brian turned my flexibility, ankle and IT-band issues around in a few months and got me back on the golf course.“
„I cannot recommend Brian enough! His physical therapy programs have significantly helped my mobility, pain, and stability. I always leave his office with a smile and in way less pain than I walked in with.“
„After an off-duty injury I was sure I'd have to miss my shift. Dr. Fischer treated me beforehand and even came to the station mid-shift to keep me working — and his prevention program has stopped the injury from coming back.“
„Dr Fish is incredible for sports training or care. He gave me an extensive workout plan and diet to gain muscle mass. I would recommend him to anyone for their physical therapy needs.“
„I'd had chronic pain for years and was told it would be lifelong. Dr. Fischer spent an hour pinpointing the real cause and built me a mobility and strength plan — within days I was already feeling better and getting stronger.“
„Brian wrote me a program to greatly improve my shoulder issue. Brian also wrote me a program to solve my nerve issue. I will be back as needed.“

„I’m 62 and had never been to a gym. After a detailed diagnostic, Brian identified a few issues with my body (including a previously broken ankle that I did not tell him about) and then designed a workout routine specifically designed to address the issues, increase my flexibility, strength and overall health. My secret goal was to also increase in…Read full review

„Brian has been an amazing physical therapist throughout my recovery from a severe shoulder dislocation. He’s friendly, personable, and genuinely cares about his patients. The exercises he’s given me have made a huge difference in improving my strength and mobility. I highly recommend Brian to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and supportive…Read full review
„Dr. Fischer treated several injuries of mine, reduced my pain, improved my mobility, and got me back to full duty with confidence. His proactive approach keeps our whole team healthier and on the job.“
„Brian does a great job! Has helped me a lot with sport recovery/preparation and building out plans that I can do on my own.“
„While training for Georgia Smoke Divers I tore my pec, and later strained my shoulder on a fire — both times Dr. Fischer got me back quickly and helped me avoid surgery and time off. Having him is like a pro team having its own physical therapist.“
„Brian is great to work with! He is very knowledgeable and listens to all of our concerns. He has seen multiple members of our family and we would highly recommend him!“
