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.

This man was on call when I needed emergency surgery. Unfortunately, for me my knee may never be ok again due to his incompetent surgery skills. I also contracted a post op infection due to his negligence that resulted in an entire month in the hospital and a very long road to recovery. I will have other surgeries to correct his errors. Don’t walk, run as fast as you can from this doctor.

I saw Dr. Furr for a problem with a previous knee with a knee replacement. In order to find the problem, Dr. Furr ordered different tests, exrays to find the problem, which he did! I have seen other orthopedist that acted as if there was nothing wrong for years. I am thankful that he listened to me! I have referred Dr. Furr to others!
