Dr Furey is out standing
Excellent. Dr. Furey showed extreme concern about issue.
Excellent doctor
Have been very pleased with the physician and nursing staff care. All staff pleasant and caring. Dr. Furey's secretary *** is great.
Dr. Furey was very honest and quickly identified a different problem I wasn't aware of regarding my hip vs my back. He quickly got an X-ray on site to confirm his diagnosis that day and referred me to a hip specialist thinking my pain in the back may be secondary to the hip issue. Grateful for his quick assessment and referral before looking further into back surgery.
Excellent provider! He answered all my questions so I could feel comfortable with the procedure. Also he had done surgery on my husband before.
Rather than office f/u Dr. Furey called me to discuss results snd plans, which I thought was fine.
This Provider is an excellent practitioner. This Provider is very skilled and knowledgeable. The BEST trait if this Practioner is the concern for the patient and not providing unnecessary care or procedures.
Very professional. Very nice. Explained everything clearly and staff has been top notch.
Doctor is first class nurses ad assistants were great. Please thank them all.
Dr Furey is professional
Good
Everyone was polite, I felt very comfortable
He's thorough. I appreciate that. I hope he can help me relieve the pain that I'm in asap.
Really liked his attitude
Excellent experience
Care is excellent, but follow-up office communications are chronically & frustratingly poor. Need and timing of next appointment, including procedures, is rarely communicated with appropriate staff. Result: when I call to follow up, no one knows what I'm talking about, resulting in multiple circular attempts on my part. I'm currently locked into such a void....
Dr. Furey is the best!
Keep up all the good work. Bless all of you
Recommend Dr Furey and his team
Always thorough and explains conditions and options
Dr Furey answered all my questions and concerns and understood I had leg pain since ***
Dr Furey is an outstanding caring, friendly and knowledgeable person , he is the best Doctor that I've ever known. Can't say enough about him.
Dr. Furey's office manager Julie was able to get me an appointment quickly, very appreciated.
Dr. Furey is an excellent physician.
Dr fury is a great doctor
Dr. Furey is a special, caring and empathetic physician. I have referred others to him. I travel 82 miles each way for his care
Good
I had an excellent experience with Dr. Furey. He is a top surgeon and I was very pleased with my outcome. Explanation of my recovery was explained very clearly at my follow up appointments. I really want to discuss my experience with my 4 day hospital stay but I never received a questionnaire on my experience as a patient at Ahuja
Fantastic Back Surgeon, great listener and communicator, I trust him fully, excellent in every way, a great service to UH!
Dr Furey explained my options very clearly
Dr. Furey and his staff were beyond my expectations. I left having complete knowledge of my medical condition. He gave me all the answers I needed to go forward with surgery.
Great doctor
It was a team effort between my back doctor and my knee doctor.
Dr. Furey gave me a very clear answer to my basic question: Could my situation -- as described by recent MRI -- likely be improved by surgery?
Dr. Furey was very kind and informative.
This entire experience was excellent and I appreciate that.
So helpful
Very good provider
Industry Relationships
University Hospitals is committed to transparency in our interactions with industry partners, such as pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical device companies. At UH, we disclose practitioner and their family members’ ownership and intellectual property rights that are or in the process of being commercialized. In addition, we disclose payments to employed practitioners of $5,000 or more from companies with which the practitioners interact as part of their professional activities. These practitioner-industry relationships assist in developing new drugs, devices and therapies and in providing medical education aimed at improving quality of care and enhancing clinical outcomes. At the same time, UH understands that these relationships may create a conflict of interest. In providing this information, UH desires to assist patients in talking with their practitioners about industry relationships and how those relationships may impact their medical care.
UH practitioners seek advance approval for certain new industry relationships. In addition, practitioners report their industry relationships and activities, as well as those of their immediate family members, to the UH Office of Outside Interests annually. We review these reports and implement management plans, as appropriate, to address conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with medical research, clinical care and purchasing decisions.
