Dr Furs is my GI doctor for over 10 years. He has always been incredibly professional and compassionate during my appointments. On my recent visit he took time to listen to my concerns, then he shared details about my tests results and was thorough in explaining next steps and answering all my questions.

Has been my Gastroenterologist for almost 10 years and has been great at keeping my Crohn's at bay
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.
Dr. Furs is a kind, attentive, and humorous doctor. I felt heard and not rushed when I met with him.
