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.

Today I had a colonoscopy and an endoscopy with Dr. Michael A. Fuhrman. All of the nurses, anesthesiologist, and Dr. Fuhrman were friendly and efficient. I felt as if i were in competent hands. Both procedures were done leaving me with no discomfort. Before I knew it I was coming out of anesthesia and was having coffee and Lorna Doone cookies. I would highly recommend Dr. Michael Fuhrman and his facility Gastro Surgi Center of New Jersey.

I've been seeing Dr. Furhman for many years now and he is very pleasant, doesn't push unnecessary tests and when he does do the tests (e.g., colonoscopy and endoscopy), he is obviously qualified, but also importantly, is very thoughtful with his post-procedure comments/conversations with the patient. I would highly recommend him if you're looking for a gastroenterologist.
