Testimonials
What Patients Are Saying
Dr. Furman was a very caring Physician and knew his expertise. However, I was extremely upset by my procedure. A young man who was a Fellow gave me the injection in my knee. Dr. Furman was behind him and directed him where to place the needle. I was in extreme pain throughout the procedure and Dr. Furman apologized at least 5 times for my discomfort. In the future I will only have the Attending Physican do my procedure.

Dr Furman saw my husband Cletus Bortner to get a steroid injection for hip pain. Dr Furman was very personable, has a wonderful sense of humor, very informative & helped put my husband at ease. Unfortunately my husband did not get the relief he hoped to get through no fault of the Dr. We both think Dr Furman is a 5+
