                  Physician Bio

                  Dr. Daniel Fisher is a board certified adult psychiatrist with two decades
                  of experience in his field. Specializing in Treatment Resistant Mood Disorders,
                  Dr. Fisher offers comprehensive, expert consultation and second opinions
                  for patients referred by other psychiatrists and primary care doctors.
                  Recommendations are then made involving the use of a variety of treatment
                  modalities; these range from psychopharmacology, behavioral interventions,
                  alternative/complementary approaches, and, when necessary, Electroconvulsive Therapy.


                  Referral for some newer "neuromodulatory" treatments including
                  Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation or the still experimental, albeit highly
                  promising, Deep Brain Stimulation may also be considered.


                  The evaluations are exhaustive and thorough, with emphasis on accurate
                  diagnosis, obtaining additional input from family members and referring
                  psychiatrists, in depth review of medical history, and analysis of prior
                  psychiatric treatment efforts. The latter phase of the 2-3 hour consultation
                  involves providing the patient and family feedback and education about
                  diagnosis, prognosis, and the relative risks and benefits of various treatment
                  alternatives.


                  ECT is a treatment that has been in existence for over seventy years, and
                  it represents a safe, often life-saving, alternative for the patients
                  who suffer from the most severe forms of Depression and Bipolar illness,
                  and for those who have not achieved adequate relief with other treatments.
                  Dr. Fisher has started ECT programs in the Boulder area, and has safely
                  performed over 15,000 treatments.


                  Dr Fisher considers the practice of ECT a “team approach:”
                  The patient and family members have frequent contact with our nursing
                  staff and our ECT physicians above and beyond the treatments themselves,
                  wherein on going support and education are provided. Questions and concerns
                  are readily addressed or answered. Further, the ECT doctors are in frequent
                  contact with the patient’s referring psychiatrist, collaborating
                  about treatment ideas such as medication options. Lastly, we have a licensed
                  therapist with a deep understanding of the many facets of undergoing ECT
                  who can provide counseling and support to family members or the patients
                  themselves.


                  Dr. Fisher practices in Boulder, Colorado with his partner, Frank Guerra,
                  MD at the Guerra Fisher Institute at Boulder Community Hospital. The Institute
                  welcomed Christopher Reyburn, MD, in 2014 who comes with two decades of
                  his own experience providing excellent psychiatric care.


                  Dr. Fisher graduated summa cum laude from Princeton University, and with
                  Honors from the University of Michigan Medical School, where he attended
                  on a full, merit-based scholarship. He did his residency training in New
                  York City before continuing his career in Colorado. He is a volunteer
                  Clinical Instructor of Psychiatry at the University of Colorado School
                  of Medicine.


                  Prior to coming to Boulder Community Hospital, Dr. Fisher was at Centennial
                  Peaks Hospital for fifteen years. He was Chief of Staff and the Medical
                  Director of the Adult Services and Co-Director of ECT at this 72 bed free
                  standing psychiatric hospital, where he helped develop its ECT program.
                  He lives in Boulder with his wife, Michelle, and two young children.


                  Michelle Fisher is Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who has
                  recently joined Dr. Fisher in a joint practice using psychopharmacology
                  and psychotherapy. She brings to the practice the added expertise that
                  comes in having been a Family Practice NP prior to specializing in behavioral medicine.
