Dr. Raymond Fulp III, DO

Do yourself a big favor and find a different orthopedic surgeon. My 73 yr old spouse (who has MS) had a nasty fall on Christmas Day and broke her left clavicle. Had to call an ambulance since she was in pain and needed help to get up. After x-rays showed it to be completely broken in two, uneven pieces, the ER doc told her she would need surgery the next morning. We had no choice of a surgeon. She got this guy by luck of the draw. Only she wasnt lucky. If you want a physician who loves to talk about himself and his upcoming retirement, you wont be disappointed. If you want a physician you will never see after your surgery, you wont be disappointed. When my spouse was in horrible pain, none of the nurses could get hold of him for an order. So, my spouse had to lie there in her hospital bed and suffer terribly for several hours. (The nerve block she was given right before surgery simply failed to prevent pain.) She, who never ever cries, was in tears and could hardly form words, her pain was so bad. She didnt see Dr. Fulp after the surgery. She didnt see him ever again. I will say that the PA (or NP, I cant recall his license) that she saw was professional, polite and competent. He is the reason I gave 2 stars instead of 1. Front desk people ranked from indifferent to just plain rude. Sometimes made you feel like you were intruding on their time. In my career, I used to give customer service training to medical staff for various clinics and hospitals. If I were grading this clinic, theyd get a D-. (Javier gets an A.) The whole lot of them need some serious customer service training.

Dr Fulp has performed a hip replacement, and both knee replacement. Even the nurses at the hospital said that Dr. Fulp's patients tend to walk earlier than do patients from other doctors. Great doctors, great team.

Good Dr, Bad Follow ups, bad office, run around for med's and supplies by Connie or Lupita. Do not inform patient about care and remedies. Suffering patient with pain. Told to call back 4 times with no results.

Dr. Fulp recently operated on my left ankle for a major fracture. He did an excellent job. The minute I came out from under the anesthesia I could tell he had fixed it. I felt so much better. He has a very low key personality. His staff is very nice. I am very happy with the service. My surgery was done at Rio Grande Valley Memorial Hospitaltop notch. Highly recommend.
