Dr. Heather Fullerton, MD

Completely blew off all my concerns, ran zero tests, and basically acted like I was exaggerating my pain, then told me that I was in pain cuz I’m 40….I’ve had back pain since I was 16 and have been dealing with it getting worse to the point I can’t stand or walk for more than 10 mins or I end up in a wheel chair

I have seen Dr Fullerton twice so far… I found her to be very attentive to my needs - she took the time to listen to me - to also put me thru a series of movements for the needed exam being sensitive to my pain. She was very caring and very helpful in finding out what is wrong and what my next step is. I highly recommend Dr Fullerton.

I saw Dr. Fullerton for lower back pain. During that appointment, Dr. Fullerton treated me like I was an utter waste of time. My questions and complaints were ignored, and I was told point-blank that my pain wasn't real. That if there was something wrong with me, then I'd be unable to 'talk or stand' because I'd be in so much pain. I was ALSO told that I was too young to be in this much pain. That I wasn't experiencing sciatica. That there was nothing wrong with me. And she wasn't going to order imaging. Well. I got that imaging. Turns out I had two herniated discs, a retrolisthesis, and central canal stenosis. I'm also losing strength and feeling in both my legs. This is the sort of doctor that will end up seeing a patient worse than me, that will treat them the exact same way, and end up getting them permanently paralyzed or killed. Take my advice: don't be that patient. See someone else.
