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.

Dr Pulsfus
This “ Dr.” Was violent with me during an annual exam. He forced the Speculum in me quickly and opened it even faster and it was quite painful. When he had to take a sample during the Pap smear it really hurt. Never before has this happened to me. I felt pain ( like cramps) for 4 months and I no longer get periods ( 57). This was 4 years ago. I just found out he is no longer there so I am glad. Good riddance!

I have visited Dr. Pulsfus on several occasions for several years for a specific condition. Dr. Pulsfus initially provided clearly the options available, provided input on what would be best to do. His advice to try first the least invasive option available, was wise. It worked. He has maintained me well in the course of several years. He is an excellent clinician, with a matter of fact , possibly slightly brusque mode of communication, probably a good thing in his specialty. He does not waste time, is relatively prompt seeing people...couldn't ask for any better addition to the medical community. Dr. Pulsfus is a winner all round. St. Johns County is fortunate to have Dr. Pulsfus on board in the medical community , Flagler Hospital fortunate to have him on staff.

Just had my first appointment with Dr. P and he was super great and answered all my questions, since I’m trying to get pregnant. Won’t change doctors any time soon! Super recommend him.

Dr. Pulsfus repeatedly violated my right of giving informed consent. He disrespected me, robbed me of my power and made me feel unheard during pregnancy, birth and after. I sadly entered my parenting journey with post-traumatic stress, anxiety and depression, and I am still affected by his actions 4 months later.

Even though my news wasn't good news Dr. P. went out of his way to reassure me and to help me with the next steps. Can't say enough good things about him.
