Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

DO NOT SEE THIS DOC! HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT PEOPLE.
Dr. Furman gives Memorial Health a bad name. My dad went to him and was very sick, He did NOTHING for him. Blew us off. We tried to call back for medical advice and he was rude and didn't even remember seeing my dad only 2 weeks prior. He avoids calls and his nurse is just as rude trying to cover for his lack of respect for patients. We ended up in the hospital and I told multiple doctors about our experience and they ALL said to stay far away from him. I recommend any of the other 3 doctors in that practice, who are all great including their nursing staff who are beyond helpful. Don't let his quick appt schedule fool you, he was avail next day, b/c no one wants to see him. You may wait 3 weeks for an appt w/ another doc, but they are worth the wait. Ironically, he supposedly is a sleep study expert and he ordered one on dad and it showed he needed a bipap machine. He still denied us the machine which dad needs to live and told us to go to ER for it. Stay far away from this doctor.

Every time I've had an appointment he is off schedule by 1 hour or longer. He speeds through the visit much too fast for this type of specialty. He has office time management issues, this is a recurring problem based on chatting with others in the waiting room and from my personal experience. Our time is valuable as well.

I was in and out of the exam room so fast I found myself wondering what just happened? He read me the results of my Cat Scan, which I provided and already knew what it said. He asked me no questions and was already leaving the room as i was trying to tell him my symptoms and ask questions.. Then they told me to come back in 4 months.. I will not be going back.

Had to wait more than 2 hours each of the 3 times I visited. I agree with previous review indicating patients referred to a sleep test lab with which he is affiliated with.

I hate to write a poor review but in this case that is what is deserved. Was referred to Dr. Furman for sleep issues. First visit waited over an hour and when I presented my very specific issues he wouldn't listen. Said I just had to learn to sleep better. Had a sleep study at a lab that he is the director of. Went in for a review of the study and he had not even read it yet. And again a lengthy wait. I did find out what the problems was, but not from him. Will not use him again.

Excellent clinician, listens to the patient, if he suspects non-pulmonary problems he addresses it & refers to a specialist if necessary. The doctor & the staff are caring. & understanding.
