Dr. Furs is top notch and I would highly recommend!
Dr. Furs is a very personable doctor and talks with you and not at you. He’s the first doctor that I felt actually heard me and listened rather than talked over me. He shows a caring attitude and he made me feel that he truly cared about my concerns and wanted to help in determining my health issues and aide in my diagnosis and recovery. Since aging, most doctors I’ve seen don’t hear me or take anything I say seriously. He made me feel that I was heard and seen and took the time to carefully explain his plan for my diagnosis.
Dr. Furs is a very personable, knowledgeable doctor. I feel he has my best interest in mind and really cares about my health. I would highly recommend him. His support staff is also fantastic.

He is always very thorough in explaining his treatment plan and making sure I understand. I highly recommend Dr. Furs for any of your GI issues. I have referred several of my friends to him and they all speak very highly of him.
He gave me a hard time about not coming 15 minutes early to fill up my paperwork. Lol. That was okay though. I really really liked him. He was very personable and I felt very confident and comfortable talking to him. He was a recommendation from a fellow nurse.

Dr. Furs is an extremely competent and personable doctor; and as a vintage patient, I have seen many doctors. He goes above and beyond to put one at ease and address the concerns. A++
I have been a patient of Dr. Furs for many years after a referral from my PCP. Several colonoscopies and other visits have demonstrated three things to me about Dr. Furs. He knows his stuff. He keeps you in the loop on what he is finding, concerns, and a plan to move forward if needed. Finally, when sharing a personal experience with Dr. Furs, he related his own experience with care and understanding where I think most physicians would just say “so sorry” and move on.
