Waiting time was too long Over one hour almost two hrs Know the doctor is very liked by the patients. That is why the waiting is long. I need to plan my time with that in mind. I feel very confident about dr Fisher.

The staff was personable and very professional. I was very early to my appointment but they saw me anyway. I was actually through with my appointment before the time of my scheduled appointment ever arrived. I loved Dr.Fisher. He let me know everything. Explained everything. Great interaction. His PA was fantastic.

I love everything about UAB. Very clean and everyone from the check in desk to the doctors and nurses are very friendly and polite and make sure you feel comfortable and understand everything about what's going on with you. 100% would recommend them to anyone. I have a 3 hour drive but it's well worth it, almost all my doctors are there

Great team and excellent care Dr Fisher Kristin [ ] and nursing staff!

This is going on five years that I have been receiving care at TKC-neurosurgery. Each trip I usually have an MRI, see Dr Fisher and Dr [ ]. I haven't had a bad experience at any visit. I was actually thinking on my last visit, ""how do they manage to find so many kind, caring, helpful staff"". It is always a pleasure to be in their presence. I am very blessed. Thank you all.

I thought it would be a nightmare trying to park and get to the appointment after a 3 hour drive. The preliminary guidance instructions were excellent and I was able to get from parking to Dr. Fisher's easily.

Too slow between procedures, example 3.5 hours between CT brain scan and telling me the results.
