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 love Amy Shaw. She's been our family physician for about 13 years now and I have never, ever had…read morea bad experience with her. She has the very best manner a doctor can have and works WITH her patients and not AT them. She is attentive and personable. She's handled every kind of ailment from colds to migraine headaches to "female" issues to a heart attack and everything else known to human kind with consistent excellence and enthusiasm. She knows her stuff and does it well - even with our nightmare insurance industry clogging up the system. Her staff is ... ok. Some are great and some are poorly prepared to deal with human beings and our propencity for theatrics when we're not well. Her office manager isn't very accomodating. However, Dr. Shaw is such that she outshines any deduction in rating her staff may cause. She deserves a lot more than this yelp. Too bad cloning hasn't been perfected, this world could use many, many more Amy Shaws in it.

Do you think I would learn to schedule the first appointment in the morning!? My appointment was at 9:30 i waited 45 minutes in the lobby to go to the back room for a seven minute visit. Worst part is the girl that checked me in grabbed a file at 10 am and put it on the counter and said oops. I'm not 100% sure that was mine but I'm thinking it was because five minutes later the lady called me back they told me the doctor was running 20 minutes behind, but he was running 50 minutes behind.

Ok fair but he is a medical professional himself, was sick for three weeks (already been to urgent care who said he needed to follow up with his PCP for anything further). So he gets online and schedules another appointment later that day, now the office calls him and says the doctor is too mad at him to see him later that day and he has to be seen the following week. Currently his blood pressure is very low because of recent weight loss, at least we can manage all this because of our own medical knowledge. He still has head congestion and can't hear well. I had a problem with this doctor previously because of a mix up at the pharmacy that was his and the pharmacies fault, and wrote a negative review here. Now my husband is apparently being held responsible for my issues with him. Are there any good doctors left, because he actual is a good doctor, very knowledgable and has really helped him.

If she opens up to take new patients ever, this is who you want making medical decisions with you. From check in to check out, the staff are always super nice and focus solely on you.
