History
Established in 2002.
Having treated athletes of all ages, at all skill levels, Dr. Furie has been able to get players back to the playing field throughout his 12 years in practice. Just as importantly, Dr. Furie has been able to use the newest techniques and most modern equipment available to get young and old arthritic patients back to activity. After undergoing five surgeries on his knees in 2007, Dr. Furie is well aware of the difficulties associated with having major surgery, both the physical and emotional stress. Dr. Furie has been able to take this experience as a patient, and use it to help others navigate their road to good health and pain-free activity with the least amount of obstacles.
Meet the Business Owner: Eric F.
Born in New York, Dr. Furie was raised on Long Island and excelled in academics. Having attended multiple universities to explore various fields of study, including Harvard, Columbia, Bard College, Stony Brook and the City College of New York, Dr. Furie was able to explore his vast areas of interest and identify his true passion, medicine.
While playing college rugby Dr. Furie sustained a fracture of his scaphoid, a small bone in the wrist. Unfortunately his wrist would not go on to heal, a complication known as a non-union. This led Dr. Furie to perform research at the Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York using pulsed ultrasound, and ultimately pursue a career as an orthopaedic surgeon.
After graduating medical school at the University of Buffalo at the ripe old age of 24, Dr. Furie performed a five year residency at Stony Brook University Hospital in Orthopaedic Surgery.
