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. Furst ruined my life. His surgery made my foot worse if I could show you pictures I would don’t have surgery on a bunion ever. He is a conceited. He has no patience or regard for anyone. He really thinks he’s all that.

Excellent Doctor. My friend recommended Dr. Furst. I have been seeing him for 5 years, he said foot surgery is last resort. For 5 years Dr. Furst has treated my feet. We both decided it was time for surgery. I would not let someone do surgery if I did not trust them. He is awesome at what he does. Kind, considerate, patient & to add a great personality. Thank you Dr. Furst for fixing my feet and for your kind professional staff. Everything Dr. Furst told me would happen, was dead on!

I have been a patient of Dr. Furst for many years, and he is the best, most competent doctor who is kind, considerate and extremely caring of each of his patients. I have recommended him many times, and each person agrees with my evaluation.

Dr Furst is an arrogant self centered egotist who has no regard for any patient. His only concern is how he looks and his statistics. He is a passive aggressive doctor who cancels appointments by not telling the patient. I do not recommend him in any way.
