The short version
Dr. Fischer earned his Bachelor of Science from Rutgers College in New Brunswick in 1992, then his Doctor of Chiropractic from Life University in Marietta, Georgia in 1997. Three years later he opened this practice in Bergenfield. He has been here ever since.
The office brings chiropractic, physical therapy, massage therapy and pain management together in one location, with over forty years of combined experience across the team. Patients voted the practice Best of Bergen in 201 Magazine four years in a row, 2018 through 2021.
The training most patients never ask about
Here's the part worth slowing down for. After his doctorate, Dr. Fischer pursued post-doctoral qualifications through Cleveland University Kansas City:
- Fellow, Primary Spine Care (Candidate) · advanced fellowship track for spine-focused primary care
- Trauma Qualified · evaluating and managing injuries from crashes and falls
- Primary Spine Care Qualified · trained to serve as the first-contact clinician for spine complaints
- Hospital Qualified · prepared to work within hospital-based settings and co-manage with medical teams
Why does that matter to you? Because the first visit here looks different. A trauma-qualified clinician knows when your problem is one we treat and, just as important, when it needs imaging or a referral instead. You want the doctor who can tell the difference.
How care works here
You see the same clinician on every visit. That's a deliberate choice, and honestly it's the thing patients mention most. When one person follows your case from the first exam through discharge, nothing gets lost between visits and your plan actually adapts as you improve.
The first consultation is complimentary. Call and ask for a time that fits.
