Dr Fulton has a great bedside manner. He is attentive and takes time with you to explain your situation and listens to you. I would recommend him to you as a surgeon

Just a Liar. Followed up with him after dealing with that horrible Dr. Earl McFadden Sr and he refused to give me a prognosis of the condition of my hand. Had my ulnar nerve surgery in 2018 and my ring finger and pinky finger are still numb.

Dr Fulton has done 3 surgeries on my rt hand, repairing both nerves and he also has repaired my rt shoulder also. Yes I'm clumsy but I think Dr Fulton is a great doctor.

I was very impressed with Dr Fulton. . I found him to be very caring. As I am a very scary patient he made me feel very comfortable and confident in him. Would recommend him to others.

Dr. Fulton did a great job of repairing a tricky broken joint on one of my fingers. Was very personable with me during the consultation, explained the different options, got me in quickly. Surgery was fast and efficient, and since I just had a local block (my choice), was able to talk with him during the surgery. If you need a hand or upper extremity repair I would definitely recommend!

David Fulton, MD was excellent. My 23 year old daughter had a fracture-with-dislocation of the radius about an inch from the wrist. Dr. Fulton offered the choice of reduction (setting the bone) or surgery. With one very skillful maneuver, he set her arm. He was careful to hold her arm after the set and wrap it, not releasing the point of fracture until it was securely casted. I honestly believe we were extremely fortunate to have been in his care; I think many doctors would have not trusted their skill to set it and would have recommended surgery as the only option. He communicated clearly and was not rushed. His focus on doing good work was ever-present. As my daughter said, "Some people are meant to be doctors."
