I would never recommend this doctor to anyone. They are completely inadequate. They were cold and not friendly enough. The receptionist was quite rude. I didn't feel at home here. Their staff was not friendly in the least; I really didn't feel welcome there. I don't feel like I can count on them to work with me until they find a solution for my situation. The staff was generally haphazard and way too casual in appearance for a professional office. I went in with an emergency, a bad cut on my hand. Dr. Fuhrman was just going to bandage it, but I said I thought it needed stitches since it was deep and on a part of my hand that would be bending a lot. He sighed and said OK maybe I was right and got out the sutures. He was clumsy and awkward putting in the stitches. He seemed inexperienced and annoyed to be doing it. The cut healed badly and I had to go to my GP to get it looked at later on.

Had lump in my chest for a while kind of hurt to touch. The PA came in he was mad at the nurse about how they billed my visit and insisted on making sure it was billed right before helping me. Got to get the most $$$. I told him about the lump he said it was probably nothing never looked or touched??? Either he is the best in the world or the worst???

I'm only sorry it took so long to provide a review. Recently, I visited the office as a walk-in which I've done so few times in the past for myself and often for my sons. Kevin is the best Physician's Assistant I've ever met. He remembers past issues, checks the file over thoroughly and makes decisions about treatment and pharmocology practically from a holistic viewpoint. Dr. Fuhrman is great and has taken calls and provided followup even when we've seen Kevin. And, the office staff can be commended for identifying a situation, several times, under which my family member would be better treated by visiting the emergency room rather than have to pay an office visit to be told the same by the Dr. On occasion, the office wait and wait in the consultation room have been a little long but you get the attention you need while you're there and after. Everyone's being competent and pleasant is what's often lead me to bring my sons there as they were growing up before trekking out to their "mill" run Pediatrician's office.
