Patient Reviews
Jan 23, 2020
Dr. Fulkerson has performed multiple procedures on me over that past 10 years, including knee surgery and Rotator Cuff surgery on both shoulders (the left shoulder most recently in Sept 2019). The results for each has been excellent. I am very active and run, exercise, ski and swim often with no pain and full use of each joint/limb. He is easy to talk to, explains things clearly and I highly recommend him for similar medical needs.
