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."
