R. Scott Fisher DDS

R.Scott Fisher, DDS, died unexpectedly in Napa on November 26th, 2017. Dr. Fisher was a highly respected specialist in the dental field holding advanced degrees in dentistry. Robert Scott Fisher was born in Santa Clara, CA on April 26th, 1964. He grew up in Huntington Beach and earned a B.S. degree in Physiology and Chemistry from Long Beach State University before pursuing post graduate work. After graduating with honors in 1992 from UCLA’s School of Dentistry, he began working in Southern California in general dentistry. In 1995, Dr. Fisher decided to become a dental anesthesiologist and enrolled in the Loma Linda University Medical Center for two years. After successfully completing his postdoctoral anesthesia training, he and Dr. Tom Lenhart established Bay Area Anesthesia in the North Bay. Dr. Fisher worked in numerous Bay Area dental offices as a traveling dental anesthesiologist up until 2002. In 2003, Dr. Fisher pursued an additional two-year postdoctoral certification at the prestigious UCLA Endodontics Residency Program. Upon completion of this specialty training, he returned to the Bay Area to practice endodontics for several dental offices. With his advanced training, he could perform root canals for patients who required anesthesia. It was always his goal to establish his own office, so in mid-2010, Dr. Fisher made the decision to open his Napa practice specializing in endodontics. Due to his excellent reputation amongst his colleagues, he quickly established a thriving practice and was the most widely referred endodontist in the Napa Valley. Patients of Dr. Fisher would express their appreciation for his kind bedside manner, his simple explanations of their prognoses and his superior ability to relieve their pain. His humble nature was demonstrated in the way he always introduced himself to patients as Scott Fisher, not “Dr.” A dedicated practitioner, Dr. Fisher was driven to excel in his field and became a master at his craft. In late 2015, Dr. Fisher had to sell his practice to his associate, Dr. Blake McRay, due to chronic back pain that prevented his ability to work. Dr. Fisher lived his life to the fullest. He was an accomplished cyclist, scuba diver, snow skier, swing dancer, hiker, and amateur racecar driver with his beloved Porsche Boxster Spec Class team. He traveled all over the world seeking new adventures; his favorite place to vacation and relax was Hawaii. R. Scott Fisher is survived by his mother Ginny Fisher, his fiancée Michele Ikemire and her two children, Sharayah and Brennan Smith, his sister Ann Johnston and brother-in-law Don Johnston, and his niece Morgan and nephew Jake. Memorial Services in Napa and in Huntington Beach will be held after the New Year holiday with date and location to be determined.
