INTERNAL MEDICINE

James B. Fisher, MD

Internists generally provide medical care for adults usually age 20 and above with the majority of patients age 50 and older. Continuity and coordination of care are primary goals. Most patients have a review appropriate for age or yearly physical centering on health maintenance. Ongoing and acute care are also covered.

James B. Fisher, M.D., is the physician at the Tri-State Internal Medicine Clinic. While Dr. Fisher’s practice is already quite full, he is able to accommodate new patients.

Once your application has been processed, our staff will provide you with a welcome packet to complete with the date and time of your appointment.

Your First Appointment

Please mail or drop off your completed welcome packet prior to your first appointment to allow time for creating your chart and transferring previous medical records if necessary.  The day of your appointment, don’t forget to bring your insurance card and photo identification. Please bring your medications in the original bottles with you as well. If you need refills, please be prepared to allow 72 hours for our staff to process refill requests.

Late arrival for your scheduled appointment may result in having your appointment rescheduled. Please arrive on time as we are committed to adhering to our schedule as closely as possible.

Insurance

All commercial insurances will be billed for you, though co-pays are due at the time of  your visit.  If we are not in your insurance company’s preferred network, your insurance benefits may not pay us as they would an in-network provider and you will be responsible for the difference.
