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.

Horrible experience and do not consider.
Futrell is not competent doctor he was horrible dealing a patient and he listened to us for 5 minutes and he says can’t help and we asked him if he can refer any other doctor and he says he can’t help. He doesn’t deserve any star . Do not waste your time and copay. He didn’t even check anything .I strongly don’t recommend him.

Dr Futrell has been my Dr for a year and has helped me also I live in Dacula Ga and drive 45 minutes just to see him . He takes the time to listen and answer my questions. The front office is so nice also. He is also my father in laws Dr and he wonderful to him. So nice and has helped him also. My ENT in Dacula has started referring patients to him also and they have told him the same that he is worth the drive to ha e good care.

Office staff impatient, ill tempered and hard to reach via phone for follow up and scheduling. Dr Futrell was flippant in discussing a serious condition and even cracked a joke. Seek care elsewhere.

He couldn't care less
Arrogant, condescending and cuts visits short. Doesn't seem to care what you have to say.. Some friends of mine say the same thing. One time he stood up, said " I don't care what you do"! And the visit was over.

Dr. Futrell did not make the slightest effort to address my concerns. He could not have cared less. If you are fortunate enough to be in a position whereby you can select another neurologist I strongly suggest you choose to see another physician.

Unlike some reviews that were less than positive I had an ideal experience with a no nonsense honest analysis and response from Dr. Futrell. If you want to hear hype and tripe about your medical condition don't waste any doctor's time, just go listen to a MAGA phony baloney session!

Avoid, avoid, avoid Dr. Futrell at all costs! Dr. Futrell is grossly incompetent. He’s egotistical and uncaring. Does not listen or respond to patient concerns. HIS NEEDS and HIS TIME are more important than yours as a patient. He gets one star only because there is no ZERO star. Do not see this guy for anything. Dr. Futrell is unqualified to be dealing with people and should not be practicing medicine.

Dr Futrell gets right to the point, is very punctual and does listen well. The office staff has improved greatly over the past year. I’ve been happy with his treatment for the past 2 years.

This has been one of the worst experiences I have had. It clearly states that he practices psychiatry. So I went to visit his office and saw him for him only to tell me that he doesn't do that and he can't help me. Couldn't even refer me to someone either. They also make you pay your co pay before being seen. Had I known that I wouldn't have been helped I would not have even paid that co pay. When I asked for my money back they would not give me my money back. It was his "time" I paid for.

It was like I was a burden to his schedule. I timed it and from the moment he walked in the room until he left was less than 5 minutes. Offered no insights, no help, and basically just said come back for a check up. Why would I pay another co-pay when for the third time in a row I felt like I could have checked in by e-mail and gotten a better and cheaper experience.

My wife, and I were referred to Dr. Futrell by our Primary Care Provider, Morrow Family Medicine in Cumming, Ga. We are newcomers to this area and needed a neurological evaluation (age is a factor). Dr. Futrell interviewed us, making comments as we discussed various aspects of our lifestyles. He reviewed his findings with us, and scheduled both of us for follow-up scanning procedures to validate his observations. All that was accomplished with exceptional expedience. We are very pleased.

I usually do not do reviews but this office was horrible. They didn't speak when I checked in, they scheduled me with the wrong doctor, and the office manager is rude as well which is probably why the front staff act the way that they do.
