Dr. Fullick is top of the class as a surgeon and orthopedist, and I'm grateful to have him as my physician. I have been in numerous situations where I really needed support, consultation, good advice, and he's always provided that. And aside from just being an expert with his professional surgery and his specialty, I believe, is shoulder replacement, he's just a fine human being and very caring.

Yes, this doctor was great. We were so happy to see him. He educated my husband about his injury in his shoulder and he was just excellent. If we had to have surgery, we would definitely go with him.

I have recommended Dr. Fullick to many nurses, friends, and patients, period. I had a great experience with him when he did my son's surgery, a rotator cuff repair years ago. Unfortunately, I sustained a shoulder injury, and so I had to go and see him, and it was a very pleasant experience. Thank you so much for taking care of me during the visit.


Feb 28, 2025

All the receptionists were nice and the doctor answered all my questions and gave me a lot of confidence in my injury and what to do about it.


Feb 28, 2025

This was my first visit and the staff was very friendly and polite. The doctor didn't leave me in the room waiting for him for a long period of time which I thought was very nice. Compared to my right shoulder surgeon. I felt very comfortable and trustworthy of him. And have much confidence in him doing my surgery.


Feb 26, 2025

It was an excellent experience


Feb 21, 2025

Customer service was great from the moment I walked in. The receptionist was good. The admittance nurse was good. And Robert obviously was very thorough. And, you know, we had a really good discussion about the symptoms, what was going on, and I was very pleased with the visit. Definitely would recommend Robert to other individuals with the same shoulder problem. Thank you.


Feb 19, 2025
