Testimonials
What Patients Are Saying
Dr. Furman is the answer to my husband and my prayers. My husband had a "freak" accident and fell into a brick wall. Up until the time we found Dr. Furman, our lives were totally turned upside down. Because of God and Dr. Furman, my husband now lives a "normal" life With his extensive treatments and research, and his expertise in RFA's, my husband lives as near to pain free as he possibly can. We drive well over one hour one way to get to OSS, and would drive farther if need be.

Dr. Michael Fuhrman was amazing with my grandchildren they absolutely love him. Also with myself he was very thorough and took plenty of time to explain and try to help my situation. I highly recommend this doctor to any new patients!

I have had a number of epidurals in my back and recently had an S1 injection. Dr. Furman is very good at explaining the procedure and the location of where he will be doing the injections. He is aware of the patient's pain during the injections and is very gentle doing the injections. I have had other doctors at this facility do injections over the years and they have not taken the time to really explain the procedure or try to be aware of the patient's discomfort during the procedure.
