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!

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.

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.
