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.

Extremely competent, objective, caring physician
Went to Dr. Fulton for a second opinion. My doctor at Orlando Orthopedic wanted to perform cervical disk surgery on me, even though I was not experiencing any pain, numbness radiating down through my arms. Dr. Fulton set me straight. Yes, there are changes in my cervical vertebrae due to aging, but I am not in need of any immediate surgical intervention. I am very grateful for the attention that I received today.

Dr. Mark Fulton performed brain surgery May 2013 to insert permanent shunt, draining excess spinal fluid that had been collecting for years. I was stumbling and falling for a few months, W/horrific pressure behind eyes. Upon an appointment W/Neurologist, scan confirmed my condition. Dr. Fulton is brilliant, while a caring physician; have not incurred any complications since surgery. Highly recommend Dr. Fulton; HRMC is the best medical facility. Diane N-S Rockledge, FL

He is a qualified doctor, however the wait times are ridiculous. I have currently been waiting for over an hour, and last time I waited two. I am on my lunch break so I do not appreciate being scheduled at a certain time and then having to wait an hour. That is rude and unprofessional, like the staff in the office. They are very rude and unwilling or unable to answer a majority of questions

I had my 3rd. surgery with Dr. Fulton last week. I have complete confidence in his ability. Dr. Fulton is caring, informative, kind, patient and most importantly he LISTENS. His staff is also absolutely WONDERFUL! The front office is equally kind and helpful and go above and beyknd to accomadate your needs. Terri his nurse is SPECTACULAR. I have never called to the office and not directly spoke with her or had a timely call back. Terri has even made calls to me at 8 p.m. from the office.

His nurse Terry is very kind and welcoming. Dr Fulton told us to ask any questions we had, he answered all of them, he's calm and intelligent, while also friendly. The original appt took a few months to make but it was around Christmas time, the follow up was about 3 weeks later. My family felt very assured after the appt. He saw my adult son and I'd recommend him to others. He did not push any unnecessary procedures. He spent time with us as needed and did not rush us.
