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 Fu and his staff are fantastic.

I have suffered from debilitating pain for many, many years. At age 62, I believed that I had little time before I was going to need a walker. When I entered Dr Fu's office, I was limping with foot & hip pain. He spent a very long time with me reviewing my history and at first I was a bit uncomfortable because he questioned my previous diagnosis and seemed certain that he knew exactly what would help me. After an examination, he told me he could help me with a few injections. At first, I questioned his unique approach as no one had ever suggested it. He patiently answered a few of my questions, I decided it was worth trying though I remained somewhat doubtful that it would help. The results were miraculous! I left his office pain-free and continue to be - I am so thankful. I didn't realize how much pain I had adapted to until it was gone! I have never experienced such relief and am surprised to feel more energy and vitality. Dr Fu is a gifted practitioner worth trusting!

Dr. Fu is a godsend. At his clinic, I received the most extensive exam I have ever had in my life. He came into the room diagnosing me. Dr. Fu actually cares about his patients, and I’m so grateful already for him.

Dr. Fu enters the room ready to do the investigative work other doctors miss. He took time explaining things and asked questions. Dr. Fu is given the hard cases in this practice, and he genuinely cares about his patients.

Worst experience with a doctor I’ve ever had. Refused to listen to my chief complaints or my medical history. After about two minutes of being in the room he told me I didn’t have any of the things other doctors had diagnosed. Said I should stop all my medications and stop seeing doctors. Diagnosed lifelong full body problem as tennis elbow and suggested loosing weight and stretches to fix this. Basically called me a liar when I tried to explain health history. Complete waste of time and money!

Dr Fu seemed to have diagnosed me before he walked in the door. He was a very poor listener. When I tried to explain my symptoms he cut me off mid sentence and even went so far as to say I was not being truthful. I was shocked by his arrogance and complete lack of empathy. At one point during the exam he twisted my hip so hard that it hurt for days afterwards. Do not ask him technical questions, he will likely just insult you.

Dr. Fu spent an amazing amount of time with me and reviewed my entire medical history, which was extensive. I have dealt with continued loss of mobility for almost two years, with no relief. I was beginning to give up hope. Dr. Fu was able to diagnose and treat me for something that countless other doctors did not recognize, so I am VERY thankful for him! He is very straightforward in his approach, but he knows his stuff!
