Ms. Fisher stated, “I am a local who understands the healthcare needs of a small-town community. I have always had a passion for helping out this community and started my healthcare experience as a medical assistant at the Ogdensburg and Canton Planned Parenthood, which propelled me to continue my education to become a PA and work in women’s health.” She continued, “My goal is to help those that live here gain more access to quality OBGYN care through my work as a gynecologist and through providing a helping hand as an assistant to our staff in OBGYN surgeries, all while seeing a familiar face.”

In Ms. Fisher’s free time, she enjoys reading, spending time with friends and family, and just about anything outdoors. For more information about Ms. Fisher, visit us on the web at claxtonhepburn.org/fisher, or visit us on Facebook. Your tomorrow is worth defending.
