Dr. Fisher is a clinical cardiac electrophysiologist at NorthShore University HealthSystem in Evanston, IL; he is also a clinical Associate Professor at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine.

He is due for his FOURTH re-certification in cardiology after 12/31/2023 and FOURTH re-certification in EP after 12/31/2023.
