I have MANY concerns about this clinic.
My spouse uses this clinic despite my complaints due to his insurance. I've heard this doctor referred to as "the pill doctor." I can see why. As military, my husband as lots of chronic issues related to active duty, but he's not looking for drugs, he's looking for treatment or physical therapy options to keep being in the best shape possible.
Appointments are fairly easy to make for the same week. The staff is okay, they seem to be the ones doing the job for Dr. Furniss. You can see the stress in their faces. They take down complaints, they fill out imaging orders or prescriptions and they remind the doctor if he forgot anything. The clinic is very "hurry them in and out." I'm not even sure if Dr. Furniss heard a single thing we said.
This is the appointment:
Check in.
Wait 3 minute.
Get called back, complete vitals. Husband has some high blood pressure - it's never been high before. Concern noted for us.
Wait alone for 5 minutes.
Dr. Furniss walks in and uses his stethoscope. Half listens to my husband explain his 2 concerns while making some sort of wife joke towards me.
Dr. Furniss walks out.
A few minutes later, nurse walks and says "he wants to do a shot and prescribe steroids, here's a imagining referral. Where do you want the shot?"
No information came from the doctor. He got zero history on the injuries or issues. Didn't even touch that the husband came in with high blood pressure or have it rechecked. Heard the request to have the injuries imaged and only provided a slip for one issue, not both of them. I was kinda dumb founded and when asked, the nurse shrugged. What kind of doctor doesn't sit, get a history of the injury, examine it or even do a complete assessment?! I am horribly disappointed in this clinic. I would really like to know how this guy is practicing without even doing his job. read more
