Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Fish is excellent! She has been my Dr for 20 years. Always listens and is a caring person.

Dr. Fish, Endocrinologist is highly recommended.
Listens & answers my questions, never rushes me. Always has my best interest when prescribing medication. Always reviews BW, guides me when I ask for help regarding BW results. Exams are very thorough. Very professional, knowledgeable & caring. I always leave my appt knowing I’ve been well taken care of!! I highly recommend her!! She is highly recommended by other physicians I see (not endocrinology related). In the 20 plus years I’ve been her patient, I’ve honestly never had a complaint about my care, ability to renew prescriptions, or getting answers to my questions. I give her all the credit for keeping me on track during this journey!!! HIGHLY recommend!!!! Office staff are just as awesome as Dr. Fish!!! Well run office, wait time is less than 5 minutes. Friendly atmosphere.

Excellent Patient Care
Dr. Claudia Fish, Endochronology, Watertown N.Y. is attentive, insightful, communicative, and polite. Being elderly I have consulted many doctors thru my life. She stands out for being a caring and effective doctor. Her ability to listen, then explain each detail of care sets such a high standard. Impressive!

Seen Dr. Fish once thus far in 3 years, otherwise
Only see the NP, saw Dr. Fish once for less than 5 minutes was told I am fat and need to do something about that. Can't get anyone on the phone at all. I will be out of meds even though I have called for refills for the past 3 weeks.

Awesome Doctor
I have been seeing Dr. Fish for over 25 years for Type 1 Diabetes and have never been all that compliant. Despite that Dr. Fish has always been patient and helpful and most importantly she seems to genuinely care about my well being. Despite not always being very compliant, I am still alive and have all my digits and eyesight...I owe this in large part to Dr. Fish. Thank You

Canceled appointment
I drove 1 1/2 hrs to my appointment to find the office closed without notice. This was after the office called on Friday to confirm the appointment. No attempt was made to call me to tell me their systems had been hacked.

I have and always will recommend Dr. Fish.
I have been a patient of Dr. Fish for 18 years. She is very kind, knowledgeable and professional. Dr. Fish is top notch in her field. She is always upfront and honest with me, and I am very grateful for that. I plan on having another 18+ years in her care. Thank you, Dr. Fish!

Dr. Fish is the most uncompassionate, dismissive, condescending health”care” provider I’ve ever encountered in my life. I honestly wish I had the perfect string of words to describe all of the reasons I DO NOT recommend seeking out her services. For a working mother who often puts her health and well-being LAST, she did not hesitate to make me feel like I was wasting her time by dismissing my concerns and making condescending comments every chance she got. I am absolutely appalled by her behavior. I’m sure the reason she has her own practice is because any legitimate hospital would fire her for her horrific bedside manner and poor attitude toward her patience. The only way to get away with it would be to open her own practice. I also witnessed her being rude to her office staff. She lacks empathy and from my experience, is just a miserable human being. Do better Dr. Fish! You should be ashamed of yourself!

If I could give zero stars I would
Dr. Fish is a terrible endocrinologist. She vacillates from helpful to extremely unhelpful. She dismisses mental health conditions that relate to medical treatment (despite obviously having a cluster B personality disorder herself!) and pushes medications, dismissing medical allergies and ignoring patient concerns. She refuses to treat patients if they are difficult, preferring easy cases, apparently. She is very dismissive and rude to patients. The office staff is wonderful, however.

Dr. Fish works with her patients to find a solution that works for the individual vice forcing the patient to fit into a pre-existing paradigm. It encourages teamwork between the doctor and patient and results in better health for the patient. Highly recommend.

Dr Fish makes me feel so comfortable. I was really scared when I first came to her practice as I am a sugar addict. I have succeeded in so many ways with my diabetes treatment. I have lost weight since I started at Dr Fish's . I am the kind of person who needs encouragement. I am so happy with this Dr's office.
