Why did Dr. Fisher start the radio show "House Calls"?

I understand the need for reliable information about your health. You are bombarded with data, and it is hard to know who to trust. Many companies and clinicians are out to promote their own agenda or products. My only purpose is to help you navigate the health care system and take control of your health.

As a physician in full-time practice, I know the pressures that work against good communication between doctors and patients. I know you sometimes leave your doctor's office with unanswered questions.

~ Dr. David Fisher, MD, MPH

Dr. Fisher is the author of "How to Keep Mom (and yourself) Out of a Nursing Home,"
a book which focuses on seven keys to maintaining your independence.
