Richard Fullerton, Jr., MD

This was my first & last time seeing Dr. Fullerton. I went in for my annual physical. He barely goes through the motions. He is very nice, but I would not trust him with my healthcare. He & his assistant do the bare minimum & seem very bored with their job. The assistant copied most of the answers, to questions they usually ask, from my previous visit with another doctor last year. She did ask me 2 questions, but the rest she just copied. She did not measure my height but, again, filled it in from last year. And yes, at my age it matters. I'm positive that Dr. Fullerton did not even look at the results of my lab work. My cholesterol was very high, but not a peep from Dr. Fullerton. Other doctors I have seen in this group have always sent a message about my lab results, but not Dr. Fullerton. Very unhappy & upset with this visit. Also, I have one prescription, been getting it for about 5/6 years. It has ALWAYS been filled with 90 pills and 1 refill. For some unexplainable reason he wrote the prescription for 15 pills with 11 refills, which makes absolutely no sense at all since it is something to be taken nightly as needed. So, what if I need it for more than 15 nights the first month. Just bizarre.

I have seen Dr. Fullerton about 9 times over the last 5 years. I needed a M.D. because the doctor I had been seeing for over 20 years retired I chose Dr. Fullerton because his location was perfect and he accepted Medicare.He seemed to be a nice enough fellow, however, something seemed to be missing. You see, almost 6 years ago I had a fall while at work and fractured 3 vertabrae in my neck which left me partially paralized on my left side and nerve damage through out. I spent 2 and a half months, including 6 weeks at Shepherd Spinal Center, in the hospital and left in a wheelchair, unable to walk and my left hand frozen shut. After 18 months I began to use a walker. This led to a couple of falls. One breaking my left hip, another breaking a bone in my pelvis both leading back to a wheelchair, rehab, then back to a walker. Another fall led to tearing my right rotator cuff which has led to seeing several ortho surgeons which has been a frustrating experience.I need surgery when I find the right guy. I have to use my left arm to raise my right so I can use my right hand.The cuff is very painful. I am 70 years old and very beaten up. I had to preface this to bring me back to Fullerton.I have been taking 1.5 mgs of Xanax a day for 30 years prescribed by my Doctor of 20 years and then a neuro doctor for around 10. Dr. Fullerton is now refusing to prescribe them He also refused to prescribe anything for pain so I had to see a pain doctor who prescribed 10 mg oxycodone 3 times a day which really helps. Because I take these, Fullerton called me a drug addict and said the questions he would have to answer about prescribing Xanax was not worth having me as a patient.I saw him last wednesday and couldnt believe what I heard. That will be my last visit to him. He had no interest in my opinionq
