It’s July 2023 and I just learned of Dr. Fisher‘s passing. He was my doctor for many years and always had me in stitches. Either literally or figuratively.
-
I always trusted his medical expertise and never left his office without laughing from a good joke.
-
This man was truly a gift from God

I just want Mrs. Fisher to know that it's hard to believe it's been this long, I remember meeting you guys when you came to Houston and it was my pleasure to take you all places , may God continue to Bless you and your family, remember I'm still here.
Henry 

It's hard to believe that it's been two years since Barry went "home.' 
I met Barry when I was a younger attorney through our mutual friend Ronnie Aliazzo.

We had several cases together, but the true testament to his skiill and his big heart is that he treated each of my children and other members of my family through out the years that had nothing to do with a case, but because of the person he is.

I often think of Barry, and how he loved his family and was such a friend and comfort to those whom he met throughout his life. 
He remains with us in the stories, in those he touched, and the love he shared.


My husband and I were very sad to learn today that Dr. Fisher passed away.  As many have noted here, Dr. Fisher was a wonderful  and talented doc!  He helped many.  We feel so fortunate to have had him as my husband’s surgeon.  We’re very sorry that he’s gone on.  Condolences to his family and friends and to all the many patients who, like us, felt he was so much more that a good doctor and surgeon.  He made people  not only get better but feel better thru good cheer and sincere kindness. 💕

Our deepest condolences to your family! Dr. Fisher was not only a fantastic doctor but also a great person and friend! We had to find out by going to an appointment in the same building as his office. I broke down right there! He will be missed dearly! May he rest in eternal peace! May he continue to do what he did best in Heaven!

It's now March 9, 2021. I am just now learning of Dr. Fisher passing. He did the surgery on my left shoulder as a result of a car accident. And he restored by shoulder back to normal and for that I will be forever grateful. My first impression of Dr. Fischer was he was a fun loving man who always gave it to you straight. He was on the level with what he could do with your situation. To his family, after almost a year my condolences. He was well liked and loved. I am so very heart broken because to me he more than just a surgeon. He and his staff was SUPER PLEASANT. He will be truly missed.

He was my friend and Doctor. My condolences to the family.

I Remember it was 1985 My knee I was completely torn I was 25 years old And no one knew how to repair my knee. Then I heard about Barry Dr Fisher. Not only did he repair my knee He repaired it 2 times I went on and won a national gold medal in Taekwondo and 3 US open Gold medals Dr Fisher deserves those Medals If it was not for him I never would of won anything 
I WILL MISS YOU BIG GUY WITH A HEART OF GOLD JUST LIKE ALL THE CHAMPIONS YOU MADE WILL I NEVER FORGET YOU 

My deepest condolences to Dr Fisher’s family he will be missed

So sad to hear of the passing of Dr. Fisher he took care of me a few years ago when I had knee issues and he was a wonderful wonderful man my deepest condolences to his family

My deepest sympathy goes out to Dr. Barry fishers family I’ve known Dr;fisher for 34 years he’s always been a gentleman and a great guy I had all my surgeries done from him which was a total of 12 surgeries and he was the best at what he did unfortunately I just got a letter to my house yesterday on august 7 2020 stating that Dr. Barry fisher has passed away it really broke my heart once again I’m sorry Mr. Tony scaglione and family 

Dr Fisher was also smiling and joking. He was the best Dr I've ever had. He will be missed.

I just found out today of the doctors passing. Great guy. So friendly. As a musician I was amused on my first visit so many years ago when he asked me who Adam Ant was. He told me a funny story about Adam walking into his office dressed like a pirate. I laughed so hard. Anyway, I am so sad about his passing. You made a huge impact in so many lives. Mine included. Prayers to you and thank you for everything dude. 

I started going to Dr Fisher in December of 2012. I felt comfortable with him from the very first time I met him and was under his care. I used to say to him “when are you going to retire?” He would answer “I love my job and I love my patients. He and my husband would always talk golf and hockey. I remember once I overheard him taking to a patient by the name of Joe who needs to go for an MRI and I guess Joe's insurance didn’t cover the MRI for whatever the reason. Dr Fisher said to Joe “you have them send me the bill, I’ll pay it”. This brought tears to my eyes. He always used to say surgery is not always the answer.
My condolences and prayers to his entire family.
I’m so sad. He was such a genuine guy, down to earth..

I was brought to tears today. Months after Doc's passing. I knew something was up when I called the office last week and got a message they were temporarily closed. I was a patient of Barry's for over 35 yrs. I was 20 when he first did arthroscopic surgery on me. Naturally I was impassioned by him as we all were that knew him. 
My last visit he said Im going to do this thru out my 80's I just love what I do and my patients. Yes, I felt loved by my Doctor who became a friend. He always had a bear hug and a kiss on the cheek for me. He was funny, sensitive, and had so much compassion for all. He truly was one of the greatest souls on earth and we are saddened he was taken from us WAY WAY too soon. RIP my beloved Doctor and Friend <3

37 years ago.. on a snowy Sunday.. our 13 year old son was injured while playing in a Soccer Tournament.. and carried off the field. A friend suggested that we call Dr. Fisher who at that time we did not know..Without hesitation... Dr. Fisher said he would meet us in his office to see our son. How amazing!! How kind!! How compassionate!!   And that was the beginning of our family’s relationship with Barry.. the most extraordinary human being whose medical expertise was unparalleled.  Throughout all of these years he has always been the most wonderful and caring physician who consistently went out of his way to care for his patients both medically and with heartfelt humanity.  The news of his passing is devastating. His warm smile .. his unimaginable memory with regard to personal stories shared with his patients made him more than a physician.. he was a genuine friend. The world has lost an extraordinary human being . Our heartfelt condolences to his family.. with much love and gratitude for all that he gave and all that he was.

I have been a patient of Dr. Fisher for 25 straight years.  I found out about his passing late, and a part of me went with him.  During those 25 years of monitoring my condition he said on a couple of occasions "I was like a brother to him".  Whenever he seen me he would say "hey Garr"!  I can't remember one day when he called me by my full name.  When I would leave his office he would say "see you later big guy".  I am a small framed man, but he made you feel like a "big guy", and not just a patient.  You were always more to Dr. Fisher.  I could speak to him about anything, and he would say "if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to call me".  They broke the mold when they made Dr. Fisher, and I will miss him dearly.

My sincere condolences to his family.
To his children, your father loved you very much.

With a heavy heart
Mr. Garry M Simpson

I'm saddened to hear of Dr Fishers passing, I met him and his wife while they were here in Houston. I had the privilege of being their driver Everytime they came to Houston. He and his wife Mrs. J, I called her were so nice. It's hard to believe, I loved their talks, God bless their family.
Henry

Dr Fisher was one of the most caring, compassionate and top quality Doctors I ever met. He truly put his patients first. In short I will miss you Dr Fisher, you were one of the best, thank you for all you have done.

With deepest sympathy 
Rob

He was such a wonderful Dr. I am so sorry for the loss of this good man

I am a former patient who became a mentee and then a colleague of Dr. Fisher.  He took care of me in high school, helping me to fulfill my goals of playing high school and collegiate sports.  He then inspired me to go into sports medicine and orthopedics.  I was fortunate enough to work with him at LIJ where he was always supportive and jump started my career.  To say I am indebted to him is an understatement.  I want to extend my condolences to his family and let them know how important he was in my journey.  I hope to "pay it forward" and do for others what Dr. Fisher had so skillfully and selflessly done for me.

Dearest Barry, in short I love you.  You were my surgeon and more importantly,  my friend.  You were a kindhearted soul and I always enjoyed my time with you.  You loved my book and you often told me to get my butt in gear and write the sequel.  I will deliver that book to you in heaven but, as a lawyer, they may not allow me in.  But, if there is a God, he/she will make an exception when I tell him/her that I made a promise to you.  I miss our lofty conversations and your laugh. I cried when I found out about your passing, and, when I told Clara about your untimely call to heaven, she cried.  I never in 37 years saw her cry.  I love you and I will miss you.  And, to your family, I am so saddened for your loss. 

This is so sad I have know Barry since I was a nurse at deep dale hospital! I knew him both socially and professionally! He was a funny wonderful man who knew  his knees like no other doctor!😄He had  a great laugh and sense of humor.He sent many patients to me to care for . He loved his children , Wives and animals . He will be so dearly missed and there will be no other like him. I hope they have plenty of bon bons in heaven for you Barry . God speed my friend. Much love  Bernie

So sad the heat about Barry’s passing. I was the representative of the Landlord at 560 northern Blvd and did the deal that put Barry in his office in Great Neck back in the early 80’s. What a great guy. He went on to perform three surgeries on me to keep me put together and able to play baseball well into my 50’s! He was always kind and treated you in such a friendly way, unlike many other surgeons. He will be sorely missed and my condolences to his family. I will pray for his sole and may he Rest In Peace. 

He save my life with his great surgery.  Got rotator cuff surgery from him.   I thought my  career was over as a window cleaner....he was so funny and pleasant.    My tears ran down my face...he was a great man and dr.   Thank you for your service...I will never forget what he did for me...I'm so saddened....my condolence to his family. 

We had a Camp TaGoLa connection that brought us to him. My son Jason tore his miniscus playing college football. The school wanted surgery. Barry said bring him to see me. I brought him straight to the pre-op room. I had two doctors opinions in minutes. Barry said if it was my son I say no surgery. He will heal but it will take a little longer than the school wanted. Barry was honest, funny and a mensch. I will miss having him to talk to. Rest In Peace . My condolences to his whole family.

Shortly after I became a patient of Dr. Fisher, he became my trusted friend.  When I recommended him to my friends I simply told the truth, that he is a mensch, besides being a phenomenal doctor. I will miss his warmth and kindness. and wise advice. 
My condolences to his family and to his office staff. 

DR. Fisher was an amazing surgeon and friend. I can't tha k him enough for all the times he kept my sports career going and being there on and off the ice & field. The man was kind, gentle and caring. He took care of a lot of friends and family when they needed the best in the business. He will be missed by many for a long time. I had the pleasure of knowing him from birth because another member of his family was my pediatrician. R.I.P. my good friend ❤ 

Forget the amazing surgeon he was. The kindest, warmest, caring, empathetic, compassionate person I have ever met. The most, humble, modest, self-deprecating Doctor I have ever met! He cared about me, my family and always asked about them! The one word that totally sums him up is he was a total “MENSCH”! My family and friends loved him. RIP Dr. Fisher. There will never be another like you!❤️

My condolences to his family. As he has done with so many people, Dr. Fisher put me back together on a few occasions. He was always much more than just a doctor.  I am truly saddened by his passing. May he rest in peace.

My family has known Dr. Barry Fisher  for over 30 years. He saved my life by finding a diagnosis no other doctor could find.  He also saved my father-in-law’s life by finding several aneurisms in his back. He was not only a doctor but a family friend. His daughter was also friends with my niece Alyssa. He was beyond a wonderful caring man. We will miss him sorely. He truly loved what he did and it showed with each interaction he had with all his patients. He made you feel special because he himself was special. I’m so sorry to hear this news. May he Rest In Peace.

My family and I have shared a lot of time with Barry ! His family were my families friends we met at the concord hotel where we shared a lot of unbelievable memories we grew up as families and Barry became the orthopedist doctor !! Whenever my grandparents or parents at the time had ailments he took care of us and when I had trouble with my back he led me to the right direction !! Barry had the kindest bedside manner he was one of a kind !! Barry we will all miss you MSU you Rest In Peace know how u have touched many heart s great memories forever 😢Meryl Beck Fisher 

In January 1992 I went into a tree skiing,  my right leg needed major surgery. I got to LIJ , Barry met me there, 2 weeks later I was on my way to recovery. By  May I was playing golf. Barry always told me I was his toughest surgery. He did a second surgery on me 15 years later since then I have been good!   I will never forget him and always thank god I knew him . 

Barry did procedures on both my knees. I was a little anxious.....but Barry never left my side. He was so kind. I’ll never forget that kindness. May he rest in peace

To Joann and Family,

Our deep condolences on this great loss.  May Barry’s memory be for a blessing.  He was a true human being.  Friendly, warm and always made one feel important.  He so loved all of you.  He was my doctor too and he was smart, practical and selfless and had  a wonderful bedside manner.  He was beloved and always will be.  My love to you all!!

A friend of ours referred us to Dr Fisher and he always made time for us no matter how busy he was . He discouraged me  from having orthopedic surgery as he felt it wouldn't be successful long term . Whenever we saw him at restaurants and stores around town he treated us as friends not as patients . He was very kind and this is truly a loss for everyone he touched in his life . He not only was a great doctor but a great person . He will be truly missed . Our condolences to his family and office staff . 

Words are not enough , heaven is receiving an angel!!

I'm crying inside. 
I know Barry since 1997. I have referred many clients, friends and family to him. He performed surgery on my shoulder.  
All because I trusted him implicitly. 
He was a great doctor and a great human being with truly a big heart. 
He really cared about people.
We will miss you Barry.

Barry was a colleague and friend. We shared an OR day at CFAM and chatted in the locker room often about life in Atlantic Beach. We had many mutual patients and he was very generous in his referrals.  Overall the word for Barry was "mench". I was shocked to hear of his passing and know how devoted he was to his children especially after he lost his wife,  He will be missed and I will pray for his family.

Chuck and I are so very sad to hear of Barry’s passing Both of us were patients of his as well as past members of Seawane Country Club As patients we know how caring and what a wonderful doctor and all around person he was We send our best wishes to his family and can’t express how sorry we are for your loss  You are in our thoughts and prayers Helane and Chuck Bronfeld

Barry - your smile lit up the room my friend. Hearing this news makes me so sad. Fantastic doctor, father and all around cool dude. I’m so thankful we shared some amazing moments together. My best to all of you. May his memory be a blessing.

I suffered a full ACL injury and Dr Fisher was the only orthopedist who advised me considering my lifestyle, age and well being.  Every specialists was interested in surgery, for their compensation.  Dr Fisher was honest and considerate.  He advised me to Not undergo surgery and rehabilitate.  He truly considered every patient's case exclusive to their lifestyle rather than his gain. I will never forget this and mourn his loss.  My heart goes out to all his family! He will be sorely missed. 

I lived across the street and remember when Barry set up the sprinkler in the living room!! He was always quite a character!! So sad to lose him. 

Dr Fischer .. Barry was one of the kindest doctors I had the privilege to know .  He was caring , kind and a great listener and talker. When I would come  to his office I always left feeling better knowing he was going to get me to where I had to be physically.  We enjoyed talking about our families and vacations.  My family and I are  saddened by Barry’s passing  and we have  heavy hearts for Barry’s family.  I considered him a friend not just a Doctor.  Our Deepest Sympathy to his family, staff and longtime friends.   Heaven just received an Angel with Big Wings. 

Much love and sadness 

Diane Mannix and Family
