Background
From the trades to the operating room.
Dr. Fisher is proud to serve patients throughout Athens and Tyler, Texas, performing surgeries in both communities with a primary office in Athens. A native of East Texas, he brings a grounded, hands-on perspective to his surgical practice — one shaped as much by his years as a commercial electrician in Austin as by his extensive medical training.
That early career taught him the value of craftsmanship, precision, and problem-solving — traits that now define his approach in the operating room: understand the mechanics, identify the source, and build a treatment plan that works.
Education & Training
A foundation built across Texas and the Carolinas.
Outside the Practice
Rooted in East Texas.
Outside of medicine, Dr. Fisher and his wife, Brooke, and their three children — John Austin, Emma Belle, and Bryce — enjoy an active East Texas lifestyle filled with fishing, golf, and time outdoors with family and friends.
