I am just several days past hip replacement surgery, so my journey is not finished yet. I have been very pleased every step of the way so far with Dr. Fischer and the members of his team with whom I have interacted. Each has been patient and forthcoming in answering my questions, providing me with critical information, and making themselves available if needed. The surgery and recovery so far have progressed without a hitch. I feel very secure that I am in "very good hands."Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Fischer and his team are GREAT, best medical practice I’ve been to. I am pleased with the care I received throughout my recent knee replacement. I appreciate the post operative instructions regarding activity level and healing time. Love my new knee.Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Gustav Fischer is an exceptional surgeon! Highly skilled and professional, he is a top-rated expert in the field of arthroscopy. I have undergone both a full hip replacement in 2023, and most recently a full knee replacement with robotic assistance under his care, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Dr. Fischer is not only top-notch in his expertise but also an all-around great individual who clearly knows what he’s doing. He is personable and approachable, which makes the entire process even more reassuring. If you are fortunate enough to have him as your surgeon, you can feel confident and at ease. I cannot recommend him highly enough!Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Fischer kept me well informed in layman's turns so there was no second guessing. My procedure went as he explained without any problems. I would enthusiastically recommend Dr. Fischer to my family and friends if they ever needed this procedure in the future! My father was a Doctor, it’s good to see Doctors today with the same compassion and kindness that Dr. Fischer exudes!Patient Submitted Review

Just really felt that I came to right .The direct superior approach is amazing! I research both the type of procedure and the doctor. There are no restrictions after hip replacement.so you can cross your legs and not be concerned with dislocation. etc. Dr. Fischer checked in before surgery and after so did the anesthesiologist. The RN surgical nurse also checked in and introduced herself. I felt the intake nurse was friendly and professional made me feel at ease. I was a hard case i tried everything not to have hip replacement, now I’m moving again !Patient Submitted Review

This was my second hip (right side) replacement. I stand by my first review as being the same, if not better, for my second. Dr. Gustav is a rock and I am thankful he chose the profession. His team is awesome as well. I trust them with my care.Patient Submitted Review

I had a total hip replacement 6/11/21 by Dr. Fischer. I highly recommend this surgeon. He is caring, kind and a good listener. I felt 100% taken care of in his capable hands. I am convinced that his direct superior approach was the reason my recovery has been so easy. I am 11 days post surgery and have had very minimal (and certainly manageable) pain. I am easily up and walking with my walker. My new hip feels great! From start to finish, I had an amazing experience with his office. Every staff member I encountered was kind and helpful. My calls were always responded to in a timely manner. I will have to have my other hip replaced in the near future and I will not hesitate to call on Dr. Fischer again.Patient Submitted Review

Online site made getting an appointment easy. The office staff was helpful and friendly. Dr. Fischer was quick to acknowledge my knee was ready for surgery and at my age suggested ASAP and is helping me get in as quickly as possible. All good.Patient Submitted Review

First visit; excellent front office staff and Dr. Fischer was attentive, informative and clear. I felt heard and respected. He answered all my questions and was kind and professional. He also gave me several recommendations for other doctors to call, in the event that my condition worsened before he is able to schedule me for surgery. I hope I can wait: he gave me confidence that he would do an outstanding job with the surgery I need.Patient Submitted Review

Dr Fischer truly cares about the quality of life of his patients. After firing a previous Dr. because he did not seem to be concerned that my quality of life was deteriorating due to 'bone on bone' knees, I was referred by a colleague to Dr. Fisher. What I was told about him was certainly true! He looks at the total picture of the health & wellbeing of a patient.Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Gustav Fisher was my surgeon for my left knee replacement, and did a stellar job 6 months ago. I’ve scheduled a second TKR with him for my right knee in 6 months. He explains everything clearly and patiently, and with compassion. The office staff is kind and very professional. Highly recommended!Patient Submitted Review
Oct-2024
My husband had a hip replacement, I had a right knee replacement performed by Dr Fischer. My left knee will be replacement next. Dr. Fischer is an expert in hip and joint replacements. He and his staff genuinely care for their patients. I like how thorough they explained what was happening along with my options. My husband and I felt care for from start to finish. It’s easy to get appointments and have messages ready his team for help. while recovering, they use an app to track progress, relay instructions and for patients to ask questions. I highly recommend if you are dealing with arthritis and or need surgery.Patient Submitted Review
Oct-2024
My first impression of this doctor was that he was a caring, considerate, wonderful Doctor who at first couldn’t take care of me so offered to try to find someone who could because he was empathetic of my situation. Most surgeons do not have the time or inclination to do such kind gestures. Turns out that he got a last-minute cancellation and can do my surgery after all. I am very grateful and appreciative of the kindness of the doctor and his office staff.Patient Submitted Review

I would give Dr. Fischer100 stars if that was an option. He has performed 2 hip replacements for me and both have been a success. His technique is like no other surgeon in the area.

Very nice staff and got back to me while I got unexpectedly caught in traffic that didn’t show up when I first checked my GPS.

Feb-2024
Dr. Fischer was the third surgeon I saw when I was looking for a doctor to preform my impending left hip replacement surgery. I was extremely impressed with the time he took explaining in detail how the surgery will be preformed, what the recovery would look like, and what the timeline for returning to normal activity would be. I’m very active and beyond ready to move my body again, but he cautioned against too much too soon. Warning me of a previous patients re-injury has scared me into not hastening the recovery timeline from 6 weeks down to two or three which I previously hoped to do. I’m counting the days until my summer surgery and praying all goes well!🩷🙏Patient Submitted Review

I am a 78-year-old woman who had a double hip replacement performed by Dr. Fischer 7 weeks ago. For the previous year+ I experienced increasing pain and decreasing mobility. I was in a wheelchair for the last 9 months and was taking heavy meds to combat the pain. I was also without a diagnosis so there was nothing positive on the horizon. A friend referred me to Dr. Fischer, and everything changed. I now had a diagnosis, and the surgery was scheduled for less than two months out. I was able to stop the pain meds 1 week post-surgery. I transitioned away from the wheelchair to a walker and now a cane. I am able to drive, walk my dog, and take out my own trash. The pre- and post-surgical consults were timely, informative, and productive, and Dr. Fischer's team checked in frequently. My time at Providence Portland was amazing as well... skilled, attentive, and caring. This process and the people who helped me have been exceptional and my family and I are beyond grateful.Patient Submitted Review

Dr Gustav has an amazing presence! He immediately calmed my spirit with a genuine hand shake and lets get to the heart of the matter. He patiently and thoughtfully gathered history of my condition and made thorough recommendations for going forward.

This kind of medical practice takes the sting out of being sick and in pain. Thank Dr Gustav!Patient Submitted Review

Dr Fischer and his entire team made my experience as stress free as a knee replacement could possibly be. My husband had his knee done by Dr Fischer and after his positive experience I knew that I he was the one that I wanted to do mine. From my initial appointment through to the day of surgery all questions were answered and they explained the process thoroughly and professionally. My surgery was two days ago and I already feel relief of the chronic pain that had been with me for years. I would ( and have) recommend Dr Fisher and his team to anyone considering having a "new" knee. I felt listened to and considered every step of the way, and just as so many before me wonder why I waited so long.Patient Submitted Review

MULNOMAH Orthopedic Clinic is a special place that obviously has a mission of excellence all around in state-of-the-art care and in communication. I was impressed with the welcoming atmosphere in the office, then the talking with you NOT AT YOU approach by Andrea Masters, RN Orthopedic Assistant, and Dr. Fischer. It is rare to have such direct eye contact and a certain relaxed “we are in this together” team focus with the patient. It sets the stage for optimal healing and recovery and reduced stress going into surgery.Patient Submitted Review

I met Dr. Fischer this week for an initial hip replacement consult. He took all the time I needed to get my questions answered, and he answered several of them before I asked.

Well I hobbled around for 3 years after a MVA saw I don’t know how many doctors before him. he looked at the original MRI and said that’s your problem. Go see this guy and come back and see me when you need a hip replacement. He was spot on with what was wrong!Patient Submitted Review

Dr Fischer came in to my pre-op room, all dressed for surgery, and carefully explained the operation procedure for my hip replacement to follow that morning. Dr Fischer is very learned, drawing on the best information and techniques from all the front running countries that have perfected hip replacement surgery. He is so considerate, calm, not in a hurry, and open to questions, concerns, and comments. It is only postoperative day #1, but I must say the operation experience, the WHOLE hospital experience, with each staff member, was superior in every way.Patient Submitted Review

The US healthcare system is broken in many ways. However at Multnomah Orthopedic, I felt like I was being listened to, my concerns were heard and solutions offered. The front desk is prompt, courteous and patient. Isaac Obeg, PA, was so kind and communicative. Dr. Fischer educated me on my results and had options to fix my pain and range of motion issues that did not include an immediate jump to a surgical solution. I appreciate their approach.Patient Submitted Review

I highly recommend Dr. Gustav Fischer as a highly skilled orthopedic surgeon. I had hip replacement surgery with Dr. Fischer and his team at the Oregon Surgical Institute. His team is very caring and supportive and my surgery went very well. They do an excellent job at preparing you for what to expect on the day of surgery.

I am completely satisfied with Dr Fischer and his team.Patient Submitted Review

When I learned I would need to have two hip replacement surgeries at the age of 48 it was very scary. When I went for my consultation with Dr. Fischer I was impressed with his compassion and concern for my situation. I was confident I would be in good care because I knew he did care. He saw me as a person not just another job. I had two hip surgeries with Dr. Fischer and his crew and I am very pleased with the care I received. I'm walking around now in part to the technical skills of Dr. Fischer and team, but really I would have never taken the first step If not for their authentic concern for me. Lastly Issac, Jenny and the rest of the staff are also authentic and professional. I highly recommend Dr. Fischer.Patient Submitted Review

I had rt hip replacement surgery by Dr Fischer 7 weeks ago. Everything from the first visit, the outpatient surgery itself, and follow up communication/visits have been fantastic. At the initial visit, Dr Fischer took the time to explain the imaging results, test both hips for movement/pain, outline surgery options, and fully answer our questions. Post surgery, Dr Fischer called my wife to give her positive outcome/status. His minimally invasive “Direct Superior” approach is incredible in facilitating a quick recovery, and eliminates the worry of a hip dislocation. iWithin 2 weeks I was in less pain than pre-surgery. Post surgery communication has been excellent, and follow up visits with assistant Issac have been reassuring and positive.

Very efficient clinic, and nice staff. Everything done quickly. The last time I visited an orthopedic surgeons office, for a first meeting, I waited 2 hours, and was then told he was to busy to see me. I was then seen by a NP and had to reschedule. This was not at this clinic. Dr. Fischer had x rays ordered when I arrived, and discussed them thoroughly with me at this visit, and advised me how to proceed with my care. My appt. was at 09, and I left at 0936. I did arrive at 0840 as I was asked to.Patient Submitted Review

The office staff at Multnomah Orthopedics were friendly and efficient. I had x-rays done first and saw Dr. Gustav Fischer soon afterwards. Dr. Fischer was an attentive listener who was compassionate and sensitive when I told him about the fall I’d taken on my right hip recently, just months after he’d done my hip replacement surgeries. I was seeing him because I was still dealing with intense pain and limited activities and was concerned that the fall had affected the new hips. He explained that bruising around surgical sites take longer to heal than other kinds of bruises, and he assured me that the hip replacements were in perfect condition. I feel strongly that Dr. Fischer is worthy of my trust and confidence.Patient Submitted Review

My third right hip surgery was already scheduled with a surgical expert out-o-state when I first came to Dr. Fischer’s clinic. After meeting Dr. Fischer and learning of his plan for my hip, after hearing high praise from post-op patients in his waiting room, after witnessing the professional behavior of his office team, I canceled with the other surgeon and scheduled surgery with Dr. Fischer. Being my third surgery on the same hip, I wanted and needed an expert. I got it with Dr. Fischer. I feel blessed to have found him. It has been 12 weeks since my surgery and I’m happy to say my hospitalization and post op course went well — better than my two previous, less complicated hip surgeries. Dr. Fischer is pleasantly unique; he communicates well, he’s smart, kind and wise. I thank my lucky stars I found Dr. Fischer and he did my 2019 surgery.Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Fischer replaced my hip in August 2017. His office staff were very friendly and helpful. Dr. Fischer explained the procedure to me and answered any questions I had. I work in the medical field and stand for long periods of time. This was becoming quite difficult with my bad hip. Once my decision was made, Dr. Fischer's office got me on the schedule at Plaza Ambulatory Surgery Center as soon as possible. The surgery went well and I was surprised that the post-op pain was less than the pre-op pain. The approach he takes cuts no muscles so I was on my feet the same day. I also went home the same day. I was only off work for three weeks. The post-op period went very well. I am now enjoying my job pain free. I cannot praise Dr. Fischer enough. He is a compassionate surgeon and his surgical skills are exceptional. He also teaches other surgeons around the country this new approach to hip replacement surgery. I have a bad hip on the other side. I will have him replace the second on as soon as he feels it is necessary to do it. Dr. Fischer replaced my second hip in July 2019. I was off work for two and a half weeks. I can now do many things that were previously impossible. Riding bikes with my husband and dancing are now back in my life. I can't thank him enough. I have sent two other patients to him in complete confidence that they will receive the same excellent care I did.Patient Submitted Review

The entire staff is amazing ! The front desk staff are always friendly and help you in a timely manor. Emily, Dr. Fischer’s MA, is one of a kind. Emily treats you like a person and not just another patient on the list; she is very personable, amazing at her job and provides timely follow up. Dr. Fischer is the type of physician that is often hard to find. He is very kind and really listens to your needs and wants instead of just going with what he thinks the patient needs. He truly wants the best for his patients and that is shown in each appointment. I highly recommend this clinic and am excited to go back to have my other knee replaced by Dr. Fischer !Patient Submitted Review

Best orthopedic surgeon in the business by far. Dr. Fischer has now performed two knee replacements for me and I must say if, God forbid, i had a third knee i wouldn't even consider another doctor. His expertise is unsurpassed. I had none of the issues that others, who had a procedure by another physician have shared with me. NO Prolonged SWELLING, INFECTION, OR EXCESSIVE SCAR TISSUE. Plus his continued encouragement and support were amazing. Thank you Dr. Fischer and God bless you.Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Fischer and his excellent team were informative and reassuring even when I was still in the stages of seeking information about how to proceed with my treatment...later they were flexible and responsive to my needs as a patient. I credit their quality and consistency of care with allowing me a quick recovery that was as pain free as possible. When my employer abruptly dropped me from my health insurance I was deeply panicked that I had come to the end of the line; were it not for his compassion and willingness to adjust the schedule for my staged double hip replacement I honestly don't know how I could have made any recovery at all. I cannot adequately express with words the depth of my gratitude.Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Fischer is a wonderful Doctor! He is caring as much as his PA Issac, his complete team of assistants and office staff. He corrected my knee that stuck out like a kick stand from a previous broken leg injury. He gave me back my life when I had been told that 'kick stand' was as good as my knee would get! I will always feel indebted to this Great Doctor! My family doctor has informed me I have a hip surgery in my future so I will gladly make the 3 hour drive to have the pleasure to see him again!Patient Submitted Review

I love my new hips! I feel like I have my life back. I can again do the things that I had been forced to give up... hiking, gardening, dancing. I highly recommend Dr. Fischer. He was very easy to talk with and thoughtful. He aligned my hips perfectly, so that they feel completely like my own and they move as they did when I was 35. I am grateful every day. Thank you, Dr. Fischer.Patient Submitted Review

Had hip replacement recently from Dr. Fischer. His procedure requires a less invasive approach leading to a quicker recovery. I was walking and going up stairs 3 hours after surgery. Five days later I returned my rented walker. Pain was minimal, in fact I mostly only used Tylenol. The incision was small, about 3 inches, that has healed exceedingly well. In my case Dr. Fisher said that he could produce results that gave me a new strong hip. He overperformed in my opinion. An outstanding doctor that I would not hesitate to refer. (in fact he was referred to me by a friend who had amazing results). The staff is professional, inviting, efficient, and on time. Isaac, the doctor's PA, was knowledgeable, interested in seeing that I had all the information I required to understand the procedure before and after surgery. Dr Fischer has a straightforward demeanor, looks you directly in the eye and you can see him assessing you as a person as well as a patient. Someone that is interested in you and you have his full attention. As a surgeon he has to be confident, but he is not cocky, rather has confident control as I witnessed both in his office and dealing with the anesthesia staff prior to surgery. Don't think twice about going to Dr. Fischer, he is as good as they come!!!Patient Submitted Review

This was my 2nd replacement and it went Great. I had no problems and Dr. Fischer explained as much as I wanted to be informed. I was back to snow skiing (safely) in 4-1/2 months. I had the best doctor and the best results! Thank you Dr. Fischer...Patient Submitted Review

Less than three weeks after hip surgery I am further along than I expected to be in two or three months. Have only a three inch incision as his technique is very non-invasive and results in a much quicker recovery. Excellent surgeon, very professional, easy to talk to, communicates with confidence, and performs above and beyond my best expectations.Patient Submitted Review

Have a very thorough knowledge of the medical industry and can not say enough positive things about this doctor and his practice. I had severe deterioration of my hip requiring replacement. Because of his technique I was walking two hours following surgery, did not need a walker or cane after a week, and only used Tylenol for pain. His staff is helpful, professional, and pleasant. His physician assistant Isaac is outstanding. Less than three weeks after surgery I am further along than I expected to be in two or three months. Have only a three inch incision as his technique is very non-invasive and results in a much quicker recovery. Excellent surgeon, very professional, easy to talk to, communicates with confidence, and performs above and beyond my best expectations.Patient Submitted Review

Nobody ever really WANTS to have surgery! But for anyone who NEEDS hip replacement surgery, I can say from experience that there can be no better choice than Doctor Gustav Fischer, his PA Isaac K Obeng, and the whole Fischer team. From reception to after-care, everyone is kind, patient, and informative. To say that Dr Fischer is highly skilled in an understatement; he is brilliant. The technique he uses for hip replacement (Direct Superior Approach) involves no cutting through muscle and requires a relatively small incision. I can vouch for the fact that healing is easier this way, and requires none of the difficult post-operative restrictions one hears so much about. On top of all that, he (along with Isaac and the rest of the staff) is really nice. Personally, i can’t imagine why anyone with access to this level of expertise and care would have a hip replaced anywhere else. I know where I will be going for my second hip surgery if ever I have to have one!Patient Submitted Review

I ended up with Dr. Fischer by chance (ED visit for broken leg and he happened to be the ortho on call) but couldn't be more pleased. I am grateful for his expertise, straightforward communication, and helpful staff. I have been seeing another knee doctor in the area for years for chronic issues, but will now be switching to this office.Patient Submitted Review

I thank God my GP recommended Dr Fisher to me. I am in my late 60s and had become very uncomfortable walking, hiking and doing yard work due to arthritis in my hip. Dr.Fisher replaced my hip early spring of 2018. I am so pleased with the results. Immediately after surgery they had me up and walking. I used a walker to go home after surgery and said goodby to the walker within 24 hours. No more hip pain. Over the summer I was able to hike 5 miles without pain. Thank you Dr. Fischer.Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Gustav Fischer recently performed a total hip replacement for me on November 30, 2018. I was thrilled with the care I received and Dr Fischer’s skill and ability to clearly communicate. This is the surgeon to use for hip replacement in Portland. We found Dr. Fischer after my wife’s physical therapist commented that they noticed his patients recovering more quickly and with less pain. I made an initial appointment and was able to get in quickly. Dr. Fisher took a lot of time to explain trePatient Submitted Review

My life has changed, I came to Dr Fischer in a wheelchair. Both hips were past due by at least 5 years. Today I walk like I did 15 years ago, I can't believe a life changing procedure was honestly easy and almost pain free. I literally owe Dr Fischer and his staff my life. Dr Fischer is a "HEALER" who truly cares about you as a person. Best wishes to you and DON'T put it off.Patient Submitted Review

My mother just had Direct Superior Total Hip Replacement, that is minimally-invasive. There is no cutting of muscle or tendons, nor dislocation during surgery. As an experienced nurse, I am so impressed with the skill, knowledge, and bedside manner of this of this surgeon. My mother is 78 years old and immediately after surgery she looked like she would be ready to go in a couple of hours. She had PT just hours after surgery. A huge difference from 4 years ago when she had her other hip done.Patient Submitted Review

I am 5 weeks out from TKR. While my recuperation has not been easy, Dr. Fischer has been supportive through the process, both pre and post. He provided realistic information about the surgery and recovery, pre surgery. I appreciated he did not sugarcoat, as this has helped my to navigate the ups and downs of my recovery. One gets the sense he is meticulous, lending confidence to his skills. I chose him on the recommendation of a nurse who has worked with him in the hospital setting.Patient Submitted Review

I am eight weeks out from a hip replacement and feeling great for a 68 year old. Dr. Fischer and his team have made this experience a terrific one from start to finish. I was off pain meds and walker 3 1/2 days after surgery and hung up the cane ages ago. Physical therapy has been strengthening my leg and getting me back into shape. Dr. Fischer has dramatically improved my quality of life. Take it from a guy whose last surgery was in 1955 - This guy is the real deal. Let him help you.Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Fischer worked around my schedule. He is very caring and always is right on time with appointments. He replaced my right hip and as soon as I woke in the recovery room, I was not in any pain. He has worked a miracle for me. I can now walk and do all the things that I have not been able to do for a very long time. I need both knees replaced and you bet that it will be Dr. Fischer that I go to for that surgery. I feel very fortunate that I was recommended to go to him by another surgeon.Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Fischer replaced my left hip on 10/04/2016. I initially planned on speaking with several Doc’s before committing. I researched different methods & watched the surgery on youtube. During my first appointment with Dr. Fischer it was evident that he was very confident so I scheduled the surgery. They had me up right away & out the next morning with no restrictions. I was on crutches for 3 days, used a cane for 2 days, I’m 2 weeks post-op & walking unassisted even up stairs! Highly recommended!Patient Submitted Review
