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.

Dangerous MD to treat epilepsy
My boyfriend suffered from seizures every 1-2 months for years. Dr. Fullerton offered to change his medication ONCE. Finally I convinced him to go to the epilepsy clinic at a major hospital in Boston. Not only did we learn there are MUTIPLE medications he could have tried, there are also other treatment options that don’t just include medications if meds fail- including surgery as a last resort. I don’t know why Dr Fullerton never suggested a different medication but imagine if we had never seen another doctor! My husband has been seizure free for almost 3 years because of an accurate diagnosis and effective medication.

Couldn't even get in the door....
The receptionist at this office is so rude and insulted me, saying she didnt care that she was cancelling my appointment and would not offer me another one. She put you down because she thinks she has power when services are in high demand. She was condescending and I do not recommend anyone doing business with Dr. Fullerton's office. Please treat people like humans!

Could not write complete complaint as it “ did not meet content guidelines “ . This is one very unhappy patient with both Dr Fullerton and his associate who, over the years, both treated me through my 30’s . Information was misguided and misrepresented regarding numerous issues

This Dr. is an arrogant, pompous, useless quack! Don't waste your time and money. Get another opinion. He needs to retire!

My 92 year old mother was admitted to Winchester Hospital, which included a consult with Fullerton, who entered my mother’s room abruptly and engaged her in a hurried and disrespectful manner. He never explained his purpose or the process he was about to engage my mother in, instead he launched into his exam, which was more of an interrogation. His delivery made Mom more confused and distressed. Fullerton ended his exam stating, “She has all her marbles”. Not impressed! Time to retire Doc!

Dr. Fullerton saw me the same day I needed an appointment, which was very impressive. He was professional, and answered all my questions. He made sure I was comfortable with the answers and ordered the tests I needed. I would definitely recommend him. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

I was suffering from intense head pain and I called his office, spoke to his wonderful, sweet secretary who as luck would have it offered me a same day appointment. He spent all necessary time reading my CT scans, and all reports I brought with me. He took the time to explain the CT scan to me when giving me my diagnosis. Answered all my questions. I have seen him about 3 or 4 times now and my sypmptoms have improved significantly but not completely gone away as of yet. He is very punctual.

Dr. Fullerton was abrupt in his time with me and made it seem like the questions I was asking were a waste of his time. He did not let me fully express my concerns, which are in fact serious, and brushed me off repeatedly throughout my visit with him. I would not recommend seeing this doctor.
