Vasectomy
Our no-needle no-scalpel vasectomy procedure offers permanent birth control with minimal discomfort and faster recovery. Performed under local anesthesia in-office, this technique reduces complications by 10 times compared to traditional methods. Patients typically return to work within 2-3 days and resume sexual activity after 7 days, with confirmed sterility following 20 ejaculations and lab testing.
Erectile Dysfunction
We provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment for erectile dysfunction, including oral medications, penile injections, vacuum devices, and surgical implants. Our approach combines vascular assessments, hormone testing, and personalized therapy plans to address both physical and psychological factors affecting sexual health in men.
Prostate Cancer
Our practice offers full-spectrum prostate cancer management from early detection through advanced treatments. Services include nerve-sparing prostatectomy, hormonal therapy, cryotherapy, and coordination with radiation oncologists for targeted treatments. We emphasize personalized decision-making using PSA testing, %Free PSA analysis, and biopsy results to guide treatment selection.
Kidney Stones
We specialize in minimally invasive kidney stone management using extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), ureteroscopy with laser fragmentation, and percutaneous ultrasonic lithotripsy. Our approach focuses on rapid symptom relief, stone removal, and preventive strategies to reduce recurrence rates through metabolic evaluations and lifestyle modifications.
Bladder Cancer
Our team provides comprehensive bladder cancer care including early detection through urine testing and cystoscopy, transurethral resection for diagnosis and treatment, and coordination of chemotherapy and immunotherapy options. We emphasize multidisciplinary management for both non-invasive and advanced bladder cancer cases.

As I was accused of NOT leaving facts about my review. I called this office to set an appointment I gave them my insurance info and told them I could only use their help if I was fully covered by my insurance They checked and told me yes.no issue I went to appointment and before I was willing to see the doctor I had them confirm my insurance would cover the bill; They did! As I left the office I confirmed that there would be no bill and I again was told "NO BILL" Well I got a bill and over 20 times I have had to explain this to them and the collection agency they put on to me Hope this helps clear up why I posted a crap review here!

Dr. Fishman was fantastic and his staff was informative and professional. They treated me well and went above and beyond to ensure my experience with a vasectomy was as pleasant as it could be. The procedure itself was relatively quick, about a 1/10 on the pain scale, and resulted in success with 0 complications. I would recommend Dr. Fishman and his staff whole heatedly!

My experience with this doctor was a few years ago at his office on Glendale Ave. I had a horrible experience and had to wait a few years before I could write a rational recap of my visit, without my blood pressure rising to fatal levels. Although Dr. Fishman seemed very nice, he also seemed very rushed and I probably spent no more than 5 minutes talking to him. He left the room and left me in the room and never returned.
Before he left he did say if I had any questions I should call. He also told me to talk to his staff for further information. I didn't even realize at the time his appointment with me was over. So when I went to talk to his staff to find out what the next step was, they were engaged in a conversation while I was standing there being ignored. They finally acknowledged me, and answered my question, and I left.
The next day i had some more questions so called and left a message for the doctor. There was no return call. The next day I left another message. Again no return call. I then tried leaving messages for his staff and no one ever called me back. I decided that if this was the way they treated people, I needed to find a different doctor. And I did.
