Born on 23 July 1878 at Shere, Surrey, one of the two sons of George Fisher, MRCS 1867, who practised there, and Mary Ann Ramsden, his wife. He was educated at Epsom College, entered the London Hospital with the Epsom scholarship in 1896, and subsequently served as interne and externe resident accoucheur, receiving-room officer, and house surgeon.
After postgraduate study at Edinburgh University, Fisher set up in practice as a gynaecologist at Edinburgh. He was for a time physician for the diseases of women at the Royal Public Dispensary, and later joined the staff of the Deaconess Hospital, becoming eventually consulting gynaecologist. He practised at 7 Buckingham Terrace, Edinburgh.
During the war of 1914-18 Fisher served as a surgeon in the Royal Navy; he was mentioned in despatches.
Fisher married on 1 June 1915 at St Giles' Cathedral, Edinburgh, Nancy Stenhouse. He died at Woodford, Cramond Road North, Barnton, Midlothian, on 25 September 1948, aged 70, survived by his wife and their two married daughters.
