Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very nice
Once she came in the room, she was super friendly and nice. She explained everything thoroughly and it was easy to understand. I did not feel rushed and she was able to answer my questions and concerns!

First Visit With Dr. Furlong
My visit with Dr. Furlong was very productive. She was very thorough. She looked over my chart; asked me many questions about my health issues; gave me advice, and then started to discuss my current medical issue in detail. She discussed that issue in detail, and 2 procedures were planned to find out more about condition. It was an excellent first visit with the doctor.

Professional care. Highly recommended.
Doctor Furlong took ample time to answer all of my questions and concerns. She shared recommendations and had great insight into present and future care I may need. The office is quaint, clean, and the soft, jazz music eased my nerves. Everyone in the office was so kind. I plan to share this experience with family and friends needing a referral.

Dr. Furlong Prioritizes Your Health and Wellbeing
I've had multiple visits with Dr. Furlong and to Bright Light in Bedford Park for a CT scan and MRIs. I trust Dr. Furlong and her team completely with my life. I was referred to Dr. Furlong by my gynecologist for additional exams after my regular gynecologist saw polyps. Dr. Furlong did ultrasounds and then referred me for more thorough imaging after she saw ovarian masses. I am grateful that the masses are benign (knock on wood), and I plan to monitor my health with Dr. Furlong as long as I need to. As uncomfortable as my several procedures were, I will always be grateful to Dr. Furlong and her team for educating me on the importance of maintaining my reproductive health. I sincerely wish that I did not ignore symptoms that I had for nearly a year before seeing my gynecologist and then Dr. Furlong.

Did not believe this doctor was interested in learning about my concerns. Felt like more of a lecture than a professional medical visit. Front reception slow moving. Did not feel comfortable I was receiving quality care.

First time meeting Dr Furlong she was Outstanding
I was nervous at first but the staff helped me relax. I got lost but couldn’t get anyone on the phone and one of the nurses told me how to go about getting to them faster. The Dr Furlong was kind and she listen to what I was dealing with and I felt great after the conversation and the help of a listening ear.I always get a doctor close to my home this is the first time I ever went outside of my comfort zones and I’m glad I did.Thank you Doctor and your Wonderful staff.Sandra Miller
