A local Dentist has been indicted on 169 counts starting with Prescription Fraud and many other charges. Dentist (DDS) David Michael Fisher who's current address right now is,
Fisher, David Michael
Race: Caucasian
Sex: MHeight:6'0"Weight:275DOB:04/16/1955
Address: Wicomico County Detention Center
City: Salisbury State:MD Zip Code:21801
His Office is located at 943 Sumac Circle in Salisbury and resides at 9065 Spring Hill Lane in Salisbury.
The Salisbury Police arrested Mr. Fisher on February 8th 2009 and all I can tell you is, go to the Maryland Case Search Website HERE and type in his name. You just won't believe all the charges against this guy. GREAT WORK SPD Narcotics/Vice Unit!!!! States Attorney Davis Ruark has been working extremely close with this Unit and received a sealed indictment just the other day.
You're reading it here first on Salisbury News. Other news sources will pick up on it tonight or tomorrow. I expect to have more information on the case tomorrow but I do know Mr. Fisher is asking for a bond reduction and claims he's going through a divorce and can't afford to pony up that kind of money. His Bail was set at $150,000.00. This is the second doctor/dentist case in the past week or so locally in which both were arrested on similar charges.
The following charges are just some of what you'll find on the Maryland Judiciary Case Search File Website.

Doctors , Doctors what a bunch of druggies. I don't trust any of them , when my doctor was frauding
ReplyDeletemedicare.
good work guys , we got too many doctors and DDS anyway.(lawyers too)
ReplyDeleteAll you doctors better watch out and do the right thing.
ReplyDeletefirst thing
ReplyDeleteDentist's are doctors---more appropriately worded would be
physicians/dentists
But the last three posts are either the same ignorant bloggers or 3 different ignorant bloggers
If there are too many doctors and dentists.. then tell me why there is a national shortage.. Ignorance is just plain ignorance
It's also class warfare--and jealousy
The guy was bad meat.. there is bad meat in every profession on the planet including the ones Anonymous is a part of.
Normal people don't throw the baby out with the bath water. 99.99% of professionals are that... professsional
Get over your jealousy
I wonder if the daily times will put his picture in the paper?
ReplyDeleteGreat job reporting this news Joe. I see another "Professional" has be charged with creating Eastern Shore "Oppie Heads". It is sad that someone who would work so hard to become a doctor would throw it all away. The damage they do when they cross the line is devasting. I dont care how nice a guy he was or what great root canals he gave. He is now a criminal. great job SPD. I see you guys are on it. Makes me proud to work in the same county with you guys. I dont care what anyone says the city has a great police force. This just shows that all the race cards played on Doctor Filthashade were just plain wrong. It is time to come to the realization that cops really dont care what color you are or how much money you have. If you are part of the culture that destroys man you will pay. Paging Jock Simon yu cell is waiting. if you are a Doc that thinks addicting these kids to oxy is O.K. maybe you should be force fed the crap for a month ot two and see the devastation first hand. Oh thats right you do see the progression and dont give a sh!t. I think you are ne of the worst offenders out there.
ReplyDeleteIf you take an oath and you defile it you are worse than the slugs hooked on it. That goes for any "Profession" cops included if you aint one of us you are one of them.
Joe again great work.
Yell, you ignorant unintelligent people, don,t always be so quick to attack doctors just because you work on a garbage truck. Get over that immature jealousy thing. Some people stayed in school and studied while you were a quitter and played. The rising educational level of Black Ameicans pushes you down just another notch. Oh, by the way when you have a toothache or you are sick,please don't run to a licensed doctor but walk to your local witch-doctor.Please do most of us on this blog a favor and communicate in complete sentences and use that book called a dictionary to learn how to spell those 6 th grade words you are perplexed with. Thanks and have a great day.
ReplyDeleteHello 6:59 PM. I'm surprised you even go to a doctor. My thinking is that you may be better served by a vet.Also, the next time I get my car washed, please don't forget to wipe off the mirrors and turn that darn music down. Most of us aren't deaf.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe for the info.. I guess my dental appointment will be cancelled this Friday at 10:45 AM. Hate to waste gas driving in from Pittsville.He may have a backup dentist. Maybe I will just go find another dentist.No hard feelings but last summer he pulled the wrong tooth anyway but didn't charge me.I wonder if I still have to keep paying off my dental bill?
ReplyDeletecorrection to my post. He did not work at wcdc that I know of. That was an error on my part. I typed to fast and didn't read my post before I posted it. He did work at ECI until I believe it was november when he got arrested
ReplyDeletewell known druggy It's just a shame it takes so long to get caught. Most people in the dental field again knew about this, but he was shifty and crafty
ReplyDeleteGlad to see he won't be around anymore
There are still more honest , hardworking and ethical doctors than lawyers or politicians.
ReplyDeletebreak down. shake down. your busted!
ReplyDeleteThe heroin dealers are loving this, their business will skyrocket now that the Oxy's can't get it as easily. This whole situation is very sad. The parents of some of these kids should be able to take a shot at these doctors before the courts get him and nolle prosequi all or most of the charges.
ReplyDeleteHe was busted in Sept 08 for having a fraudulent prescription in his possession. They should have pulled his license then. There is more money in it for the state if they let him out so he can go on to bigger and better crimes.
ReplyDeleteRuark you should be ashamed of yourself for not prosecuting Fisher the first time you had an opportunity.
and to anonymous
ReplyDeleteDentist's don't take oath's Physicians do
They are still supposed to uphold ethic and morals as part of licensure.. but no oaths are taken
This guy was a drug user--I don't believe he was a drug pusher..
Shoot you dont get it, once the spot-light is off and time has passed he will move and be right back in business again. Two societies and two differant means off punishment, watch and see. We all have rights, how many can you afford.
ReplyDeleteI think this a little deeper than he just had an oxy fix. It appears they were going into the streets. Who nows maybe he can right himself and be a productive part of society again. As for the over educated or under educated depends how you view the stance of the Doctor who berated someone for their spelling. Get over yourself anyone with half a brain can dish out antibiotics and cold remedys. If you got the Big -C what in the hell can you do for us. Doctors used to make house calls and live among uc common folks. You knows I am iffended by all this God Complex.
ReplyDeleteGet real I have lost three great friends who were misdiagnosed by you well educated local Docs. Any other profession on earth you make a mistake of that magnitude you are fired, but not the good old Doc. If they ever published all the out of court settlements of PRMC and Atlantic Terminal, Nanticroke people would crap their pants. Soo go study a little more or just go to that book that has all the symtoms in it. Go with the best choice say se me in two weeks and if it didnt work make another educated guess. Oh yea do i get my money back if you dont cure me. Hmmm
Wow another doctor hater who probably is lying
ReplyDeleteIf you don't like doctors.. don't go to them.. but when you have that chest pain.. for sure you will go to the ER and cause the doctors there to have chest pain with your rants and ignorance
Why don't u get off your doctor hater complex and get a life
If you know so much.. why don't u just treat yourself from now on.. better why don't u publish your name so ALL the doctors in town can know that you hate them--so they won't waste their time treating you --because you know more than they do
And is the Big C--hepatits C.. there is limited cure options
but excuse us for not being able to CURE the world of ALL the ailments out there.
You are such are miserable old sort
Reading all this crap gives me diarrhea. My family is and has been Christian scientist and have no need for doctors. We have our home remedies and know that the Lord will take care of us until he calls us home to heaven. Where is your faith?
ReplyDeletehere's to the christian scientists:
ReplyDeleteMost medical practitioners consider Christian Science a religion, rather than a medical science. Critics point to cases of people who have died following their choice of Christian Science care over medical treatment. Defenders counter that no similar burden is placed on medical science to explain those who die each year under conventional medical care nor those given up as incurable by medical practitioners, some of whom recover after seeking Christian Science treatment.[7]
The Journal of the American Medical Association (22 September 1989) reported on a study of more than 5,500 Christian Scientists (drawn from graduates of Principia College, a school that requires its students to practice Christian Science) as compared to a group of almost 30,000 employing conventional medicine or some other system.[10] The death rate among Christian Scientists from cancer was double the national average, and 6 percent died from causes considered preventable by doctors. The non-Christian Scientists on the average lived four years longer if they were women and two longer if they were men.
A similar study was reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (MMWR Weekly August 23, 1991 / 40(33);579-582). This study compared graduates of Principia College to graduates of a Seventh-Day Adventist College (Loma Linda University). Again, the Christian Science cohort had a higher overall mortality rate than the comparison cohort (though the dietary habits of Seventh Day Adventists may make them less susceptible to some diseases than the bulk of the population).[11]
The CDC also reports on two measles outbreaks in communities of Christian Scientists: one in 1994[12] and one in 1985 in which three people died[13] These cases help inspire continuing controversy over religious exemption to vaccination requirements[14]
In regard to children, two important rights are in apparent opposition - their rights to the perceived benefits of medical care, and the rights of parents in making a decision about their children's well-being. Some believe that the constitutionally protected freedom of religion allows them to choose the method of healing they feel will best benefit their children. This interpretation of the US constitution is in contradiction to court rulings stating that children cannot be denied what is regarded as essential health
He was a patient over at Peninsula Addiction Services about 7 years ago(guessing)nice guy
ReplyDeleteThis wasn't the first time the guy had been busted for doing this. He was caught years ago and his license must not have been taken away at that point. He just moved to MD and set up shop again.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.dailyitem.com/0100_news/local_story_048000221.html
I was very close to said dentist. He will get nothing for his crime , He got away with same thing in Pa 10 years ago...Moved to Md and did same thing. O and about that divorce, his xwife got nothing form the loser but heartache....
