About FI's primary provider:
Dr. Kimberly Fisher, DO, MBA
I have been dreaming about creating this clinic to benefit my amazing patients and community for several years while at home caring for my small children. This clinic is meant to be an inviting space for providers and patients to collaborate. I have always visualized my ideal patient visit as a chat over coffee and donuts (gluten free given my own autoimmune condition, Celiac disease). My practice focus has always been on the diagnosis and treatment of Inflammatory Arthritis. I have unintentionally developed expertise in Uveitis given frequent co-management of patients with my husband who is an eye surgeon.

Reviews from previous patients:
Ann S, CA
“I went to Dr. Fisher when I was first diagnosed with RA. It’s rare to find a doctor who gives you her full attention and listens to you. That is Dr. Fisher. I was given a thorough exam at every appointment and every question I had was answered. On a scale of 1-10, Dr. Fisher is a 12."
Big Air Tod, CA
"I was diagnosed with Polymyalgia after going from doctor to doctor for help and not feeling any better. I was referred to Dr. Fisher who changed my life. It's been 4 years pain-free and I can't thank her enough for giving me my life back."
Services
New Patients, please complete the new patient form available through the link at the top of this site. Dr. Fisher will review your information and determine intake needs. Most new patients will take 60 minutes. Previous patients of Dr. Fisher's may not require a full 60 minute appointment. Time needed for initial visit will be communicated during your new patient scheduling. All visits include a complete review of available records with notation of time required for this as well any review of results from orders placed during your visit. We do not currently offer formal telemedicine but remote monitoring for traveling patients can be coordinated.
​
This is a Direct Care Model in which you will pay in advance for your appointment by Credit Card (HSA/FSA accepted) or Cash in office. You will be responsible for submitting any receipts to your private medical insurance provider for possible reimbursement or application to deductible. Medicare does not allow reimbursement for these visits.
​
An appointment only guarantees Dr. Fisher's assessment and opinion. It does not guarantee a desired diagnosis or treatment. It does not guarantee your insurance provider will cover any recommended orders. Dr. Fisher will try her best to coordinate care in the most cost and time efficient way possible.
