Dr. Chad Fuller, MD

He is patient and listens to what you have to say.

Great health care provider. Responsive, adheres to schedule without rushing. Great support staff including NP.

He is great. Listens well. Gives good information back. Runs on time.

I found him to be a great doctor. He was very attentive and kind. I felt heard and respected.

He has a nice bed-side manner but almost negligent when it comes to care and followup. I think it may be a combination of having way too many patients and having an incompetent staff. But it may be even worse than that. After cancelling 2 appointments which were scheduled months in advance, I received a 3rd cancellation the evening before the appointment. I was told he had to leave on emergency. It was suspicious. So I went to the office at the time of appointment to check. He was there. So I suspect he was over-booked and had to shed some patients. Very disappointing. Finding a good GP in this area is very difficult. But I would stay away from Dr. Fuller.

Dr. Fuller was very nice when I met him for the first time (took 8 months but that is typical to SLO). He said we would meet every year for a physical (since I am a healthy 40 yr old) and to reach out if anything came up in the meantime. Well, I was hospitalized for 5 days and needed to speak with him after discharge to discuss medications and a gameplan. We called his office every day for two weeks and he never called us back. We can see in the portal that there were messages left for him. I ran out of medication and had to call a friend to help me fill it. We felt abandoned and needed help in a bad way and he did not get back to us (my wife was in tears calling his office). It appears he has too many patients to provide adequate care. I feel bad for him because he seems like a nice guy but is clearly overwhelmed. I would look for a doctor that is available when you need him. I would not recomend Dr. Fuller to anyone.
