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.

If I could give a negative number for this review I would. This is not a medical practice that i would recommend to anyone. My mother-in-law had an appoint there today (an appointment scheduled for her before she was released from the hospital a little over a week ago). She is currently a Medicare patient and also has a pending Medicaid application. We were told by her social worker at the rehab facility she is at that we were to personally pay no out of pocket expenses, including co-pays (she has no money). Well our daughter had to meet her grandmother at Dr. Fulton's office as she is co-medical POA and the experience was unpleasant from the moment she signed in her grandmother. The intake person insisted she pay the $45 for the specialist co-pay so my daughter made the payment, not knowing any better. When I found this out, I called the billing office and was initially told that she should have no co-pay and that the transaction could be voided---that my daughter would have to

I've been a patient of Dr. Fulton for approximately five years. I've always found him to be very conscience about his treatment of me. He and his staff have always answered all questions or concerns brought to their attention. The facilities are always clean and it is obvious the utmost effort of insuring privacy during procedures is important to them and followed. I will continue to use his services because I believe it is in my best health to do so.
