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 hard to get an appointment
Very hard to get an appointment!!!!!!!!!!!! Once you finally get in, he is a good doctor. But, I need someone who is there when I need them and I am tired of having to be told he has no appointments available unless I make it 6 months in advance.

Terrible! I had my yearly exam complete with blood work.I met with Dr. Fuller and asked him how I was doing and he told me I was fine.About two weeks later I had a heart attack.My visits with him always seemed rushed,like he had other things to do.I left paperwork for him to complete for a social security disability court case and he would not fill it out! I called ten times,yes ten times asking his nurse to please have him fill out the paperwork for my attorney,after 2 months within a week of my hearing he finally completed them for me.The crowning glory was after my heart attack he told me to take a lot of Vitamin C.I went on line and found this is the LAST thing you want to do after a heart attack.There are a lot better doctors out there,avoid him and stay healthy.

Dr. Fuller has been our family doctor for 35 years. He is also most of my kids and grandkids family doctor. We love him. He always takes time to listen about what is going on and also explains things so we know what to do. He is very likable and takes special attention to make small grandkids feel comfortable.

My family has been going to Dr Fuller for over 20 years, ever since moving to Appleton. He takes care to accurately diagnose my conditions and treat my condition with care. He is very personable and a trustworthy doctor, I would not have trusted the care of my children to him if I did not have total confidence in him. I would recommend him to anyone needing medical care.

Summarizing this review in a few sentences or a bunch of phrases--2 trips to the ER--one phone call to doctor-on-call, 3 calls to Dr. Fuller's office on 3 different days, one email to MyChart....The results ? Incorrect information from doctor-on-call who didn't even ask me my medical history and a call from Dr. Fuller EIGHT days after my first contact. I guess you could call this a medical setback...even if short-term. Basic social skills dictate a return phone call...what does Hippocrates say?

Dr. Fuller is an outstanding doctor that always takes time to thoroughly go over his patient's issues and needs. It is obvious that he truly cares about his patients and their health. I travel 45 minutes to see Dr. Fuller because of the quality of care I receive with him.

Dr. Fuller doesn't look into things. He is very quick to prescribe a medication instead of investigating the problem. Also, he frequently gives an incorrect diagnosis. He given me at least 2 wrong diagnosis (1 caused me to have surgery) and also given my family members a wrong diagnosis (a family member ended up in the hospital for a week because Dr. Fuller didn't recognize the severity of the problem.) His staff is very rude and have poor communcation.
