Patient Reviews
Aug 19, 2021
This man saved my life. I’m writing this review nearly seven years after my procedure with him. Long story short, I was run over by a semi truck while riding my bike. My pelvis was crushed, I broke many bones including some ribs and smaller ones in my lower back, and I was unable to walk. Dr. Fullerton was assigned to me and his skills are expertise are what kept me alive. Although my interactions with him (while conscious) were brief, he is the reason I am able to live a normal life today. Thank you, Eric!
