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.

He explained different treatment options and I chose injection since it worked well before. I may choose the surgical procedure if this treatment is not as effective.

I started going to Dr Fuller last year for wrist/hand issued. He always explained things in terms I could understand, he listened to what I said and explained things completely. He never made me feel rushed. Ended up having surgery. He did a great job, scar is really thin and barely noticesble. The after care was just as great. He is very knowledgeable in his field. I highly recommend his services.

I have been going to SBO for a while and have visited all of their locations, including the one in Plymouth. The Doctors I have seen there have all been amazing. Dr. Fuller is the one I have visited most often and he and his team are amazing. Dr. Fuller knows exactly what he is doing and his bedside manner is beyond incredible. He listens to you, attends any fears or concerns you might have, and takes excellent care of you. To say that you are in good hands with Dr Fuller and his team is an understatement.
