Patient Experience Reviews
The Doctor was as good as he reputation and more
He was very professional and competent. ***
Overall my experience was good; ***
Wow!!! One of the best visits ever.
Fantastic!
Very Excellent Physician and a very good examination.
Dr. Furey has always treated me with the utmost respect
Dr Furey is the best. He operated on my lower back years ago. Back then he was also a very concerned dr and explained everything so you would understand it. Would not let another dr touch my back other than Dr Furey.
Excellent initial experience in this providers office in all aspects
Dr. Furey did surgery on me 9 years ago. I am having a similar problem and he is my first choice for this type of care. Explains everything clearly and calmly.
This was my first visit with a UH physician. I was very pleased.
Dr. Fury has a good bedside manner. He was very specific in his evaluation of my condition. He gave me the option to choose my treatment and did not force me into an immediate decision. My appointment with him was a very good experience.
I just felt he really was interested in preforming a surgery since it wasn't a major surgery and recommended a facility closer to my house for another consult.
This was my first appointment with Dr. Furey and I was very impressed with him.
Dr Furey was friendly and professional, he took the time to talk , bring up my imaging and review with me my problems and what is needed to resolve my issues and what my options are. Would definitely refer him to friends and family who have back issues.
Dr. Furey is an amazing physician. He was understanding of my concerns and explained things in a way that I was able to understand. He took the time to answer my questions In detail without me feeling rushed.
The doctor is excellent I had recommended him and I will continue recommending DoctvFury
Dr Fury was wonderful. He asked me about all my symptoms and explained clearly what my issues were and what my options would be.
Excellent
Best visit I had. Hardly any wait time.
Dr Furey is excellent
Very good care. Professional and considerate.
Very good experiences each time visiting Dr. C. Furey
Dr. Furey is an excellent physician, who listens carefully and speaks with authority and clarity without being alarmist. I'm looking forward to additional discussions, now that I understand the seriousness of my condition.
Dr. Furey listens to my problems and concerns of my spine pain. Then explains why it is happening and unfortunately at this time I'll have to live with it because I can only take Tylenol because of other meds I take for other conditions.
Dr. Fuery and his staff are great!
Excellent experience overall
I was truly impressed with the provider's medical expertise and empathy.
Front desk receptionist was not very friendly at check in. Dr Furey was great, explained things thoroughly and answered all of my questions. I am glad they were able to get me in at last minute after my pain management doctor made a referral because central scheduling wouldn't help me see him sooner with an emergent issue.
Dr Furey is excellent!
Dr Furey is a true physician, extraordinarily competent and with a very empathic approach to patients.
Dr. Christopher G. Furey's surgical skills saved me from a future of inhertited debilitating arthritis pain. FREEDOM!!!
Dr. Furey is professional and compassionate. He has good relationships with other orthopaedic specialists which makes it easy to see a hip or shoulder surgeon. Dr. Furey is the first one I call with any orthopaedic emergency. I trust him and regard him highly.
Excellent doctor. I came to him because my family went to him and he explained everything perfectly. Just love him!
Dr Furey contacted the Pain Management team about an upcoming appointment too give them additional direction.
Excellent experience with Dr. Furey and his team
Good experience. Post surgery exam resulted in positive outcome of my healing progress.
I had an exceptionally positive experience with Dr Furey and I cannot express enough how grateful I am to him, and UH
Excellent and very informative and professional and highly recommended
Dr. Furey is the best ! I recommend him to everyone! The staff at the hospital and all the doctors offices I visited was excellent! I would like to Thank everyone involved! Dr. Furey did a amazing job fixing me up again ! But I hope the next time I see everyone it's just for a cup of coffee ! Lol!
He is the best.
I was transferring *** and was very pleased with my meet and greet.
Dr Furey is by far one of the best orthopedic surgeons I have encountered. His reputation follows him whenever I have to go for testing ordered by him. But, humbly, Dr. Furey doesn't take the credit he deserves. He provides individualized care and is concerned about what you have to say. That's hard to find and I consider myself truly lucky that his expertise saved me from a condition that could have paralyzed me and truly appreciative for all he has done for me!
Dr Furey and his staff were excellent
He is a very good physician and listener, communicates clearly, and takes time to be sure you understand what he is telling you.
Good experience
My experience with Dr Furey was excellent ***
Dr. Christopher Furey is a genious. THE BEST AND THE BRIGHTEST.
This was my first appointment with Dr. Furey. I really appreciated my visit with him. I had no issues with regard to service, explanations. I chose answers to move on to next questions as not all answers were relevant to my first visit. He and the staff in his office were all very kind, polite, professional, etc. I have a subsequent test I have scheduled and was directed to call him for a follow up appointment after the test is complete. Very satisfied.
Great experience with Dr. Fuery and his staff ery personable and professional
Dr Furry and staff are excellent
Dr. Furey is wonderful. I have complete trust in him.
Dr Furey evaluated my condition and explained surgical options very much to my satisfaction. I was quite impressed overall with our first visit.
Dr Furey will be the orthopedic surgeon I choose for my back surgery when and if I need it.
Wonderful doctor!!
Dr. Christopher has my respect. He explains what he will be able to do to correct my problem. ***
Dr.Furey is great. He is very busy but respectful. ***
Dr Fuery is the best in his field and I hope you realize what he does for U H I found God on earth I can walk again thank you
I always receive the best care possible from Dr. Furey.
The care provider was very kind and helpful. He detailed considerations for possible future surgery, ***
I think Dr. Furey was fine, I don't think I communicated as effectively as I could have - thank you
Outstanding care as always.
Excelente
Great visit. You are always treated like a king or queen at university systems Dr Furey and staff Fantastic

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.
