Dr. Furness is a kind and compassionate yet thorough physician. He comes in and talks to you, the…read morepatient, immediately welcoming you to the office. After his initial consultation and evaluation, he then goes over solutions. Recently, I had belonged to a Medical Group where the doctor would immediately come in and go to the computer, spending less that 2 1/2 minutes of personal time with me as the patient. This became a regular routine, where after all the computer input had been done, then the exam would take place, usually in a rapid manner. The opposite is true of Dr. Furness. I would say his strength is he obviously does his homework before even coming through the door. He knows why you are there and is already prepared to offer options depending on the ailment. He is easily accessible through his office and/or online and is prompt to respond. The most important aspect and quality of Dr. Furness is that he treats his patient as an intelligent adult and listens to options or ideas that the patient has to offer. He is not a doctor who lives off his ego, rather he lives to fulfill his chosen path of healing.

I already reviewed this Dr. But now that I have a new Dr, I'm adding an update. I have discovered…read morethis Dr. prescribed me medication I DO NOT need (which I have been taking over a year). I do not recommend this Dr. You cannot be your own advocate. Not only does he talk rudely to you (very arrogant),but he will discuss ALL of your private information in front of other clients (it's how his office is set up). Why even speak in a medical room if THAT is going to happen. If you question why all the blood work (nearly every three months), he will not explain and just have his staff (his wife) call you do inform you that this Dr. has cut you from the practice. Blood work every three months to tell me I need to take vitamins which, by the way, he sells. And will sell you expired vitamins but tell you they are okay to take. Also, if you have any physical concerns he will not look at it directly. Has ZERO interest. He will simply suggest a local whatever Dr. No referral. You are given a business card to call said other Dr. (This was a simple foot issue which did not require said other Dr. - specialist - but ended up having to WAIT over a month to get into other Dr. - specialist who told me I could have had Dr. Lozanov deal with it).

Dr. Harner led me to believe there was nothing to worry about. Turns out a swollen foot is a symptom of deep vein thrombosis: a blood clot in the calf. Sure enough, a couple weeks later the blood clot moved into my lungs, and I was hospitalized with a bilateral pulmonary embolism. Dr. Harner should have recognized I was in danger; he could have at least sent me to a specialist for another opinion, as there was clearly something wrong. I feel lucky to be alive.

His sense of humor helped ease our nerves when we received not-so-great news. When my husband passed away, Dr. Slater was there for me and my daughters to answer any questions we may have. When I remarried, Dr. Slater delivered my daughter. It was nice to share a happy moment with him. The office staff was like family. Very friendly and helpful

What this doctor won't tell you on their website or any pertaining information is that this doctor…read moreis a "concierge" doctor. And that they will indeed charge you as normal thru insurance. But that they will also charge you a $1200 annual membership fee. On top of insurance. A charge that is not covered by insurance. So basically the oath that the doctor took to help people doesn't matter unless you line his pockets first. Because only if you send me this bribe money will I answer your call or address your health concerns. Otherwise I'm not available. This doctor needs to have his license removed. This goes against everything that their oath stands for.

His site is very misleading, saying he treats the mind body and spirit. It leads one to believe that he is warm and listens. Not even close! I met him because I take my mom to appointments quite often. He was very late and rude, and did not care whatsoever about my mother's thoughts on her own body. He ignored me completely, despite my smiles and polite manners. The receptionist was kind, I feel badly that she has to work for such a cold-spirited man. Such a disappointment. Needless to say, my mother did not renew his rediculois fees. One visit he laughed at how easy it was to get these 'Sonoma softies' to give him all of their money to pay for his lavish lifestyle. There is nothing concierge about his practice at all! He said if you call, you will talk to his staff. That's what he "pays them for, to do their jobs!" he said in a mocking tone! Gross! We are never making this mistake again. We went elsewhere. Please if you decide to see him, speak up for yourself and your loved ones. Ask many many deep questions before you give all that money to him.

He did the most comprehensive intake exam I have ever had with a health practitioner. He caught things no other health practitioner had before (sub-clinical low thyroid, hormone imbalances). Stephen's treatments and herbal RX have been the most effective I've ever experienced; I felt and noticed improvements quickly, if not immediately. I've seen Stephen for: fertility challenges, ovarian cysts, migraines, blood sugar stabilization, seasonal and food allergies, stress, thyroid issues, and general fatigue. I've taken my children to see him as well (for colds, coughs, ear issues, and allergies) with great results Stephen is a tall step beyond most acupuncturists and herbalists. He is a gentle but powerful needle-er. He's a knowledgable herbalist. Stephen, in addition to the classic acupuncturist moves of checking your pulses and looking at your tongue, also uses muscle testing to assess your body (very cool). He can also order Western labs for you, which adds to his ability to access and treat you. He's a bit of a mad scientist, incredibly knowledgable and able to make connections between disparate health issues. Stephen dispenses sound and helpful nutritional recommendations (Watch out though: Ever wonder if dairy, sugar or wheat are causing your health to suffer? Stephen might just confirm your hunch.) He sells and vitamin supplements as well. Stephen is a kind man. You'll find him professional and friendly, a clear communicator and genuinely concerned about your health. I trust him to treat my whole family. I highly recommend him. His office (previously Bill Prange's office) is easily accessible on Hwy 116, five minutes East of Downtown Sebastopol. Really nice staff. Runs on time. A gifted massage therapist, Ed Lark (707/291-3010), operates out of the office too.
