Verified patient
Dr. fu was very understanding and took time discussing treatment. I felt he was very pleasant and understanding my concern. Yes I would recommend Dr Fu.
Verified patient
Great service, bedside manners, almost no wait. The only reason I give 4 starts is that I wish the doctor would’ve provided the most novel options without being a skeptic. It impacted the questions I asked and my decision on next steps & treatment
I cannot say enough about Dr. Fu and Sports Medicine North in Peabody! I have had to go there for different parts of my body; the most recent for a cyst on my knuckle that has ruptured and will likely need to be removed soon. I was taken right away (I got there 15 min before appt as requested). I was put into a very clean room and the PA came in and spoke to me for a moment, etc. The doctor (Dr. Fu) came in and could not have been more pleasant (makes a big difference) and was very thorough in explaining the next step for my issue. I left there feeling like I had a plan and I could dictate when that plan would be executed! All the doctors there are super professional and it is a 'well-oiled machine' with the office administrators and entire staff. I really recommend SMN and Dr. Fu!!
