I'm so very pleased to have Doctor Fourniee as my Doctor.
What a smart, caring, professional doctor! He fixed my shoulder for me when I thought there was no hope for it! I highly recommend him as a fabulous surgeon!
Great to work with a great staff
Dr looked at the x-rays and things looked way better than I was feeling. Prescribed a different pain med and going for PT. Will check back in with him in 6 weeks. Said to call if I have any questions.
Always get a smile and makes me feel as if I’m cared for
Thanks! A kind and caring staff. Dr. Fournier was thoughtful and skilled in treating my immediate needs, as well as setting up a plan for the future.
I like the Dr.Fournier he is very good at what he does .very thorough and straightforward good guy
Direct and to the point. Really like Matt. Wish he was a BIT more forthcoming about things to do to ease the problems. Still like his manner and honesty
Great communication and great outcomes on both kids. Quick response for a time sensitive surgery. Amazing team and follow up.
Very professional and has a great sense of humor, too. Gave advice about what to do as well as to watch for. Took his time and asked questions. His support staff was thorough and friendly as well.
