Dr Furey and his team did everything professionally and Dr went out of his way to get a rheumatology referral for me. When my body cooperates, the plan is for Dr Furey to perform my spinal surgery. I have total confidence in him based on his track record and the time I spent talking with him.

Dr. Furey and the staff are all excellent. I really appreciate the time Dr. Furey took to explain my MRI, the options for my treatment, and that he listened to my needs. We reached a mutual agreement to give PT time to have an effect before we turn to a surgical treatment. He was very respectful of my current situation and need to prioritize caring for my husband who is receiving cancer treatment at UH. Dr. Furey is both professional and caring.
