Patient safety issues galore

Dr. Fullick is nothing short of personable, incredibly up to date and knowledgeable regarding his field, and understanding of each patient's unique circumstances, goals, and needs. However, his MA Maria E Delgado mishandled every step of my care from the first time I spoke with her on the phone to schedule an appointment. She completely botched my insurance preauthorization process for Euflexxa, then botched the patient direct purchase program, then gave me the run-around for scheduling my appointments and threatened to hold... read more

Dr. Fullick replaced both my shoulders six years ago. He also had to remove 1 inch long bone spurs on both sides, since I put off the surgery almost 15 years. We spoke often, both prior and post-surgery. After six years I still have the mobility regained from the surgeries and I am able to lift and workout at pre-surgery levels. I have kept up with the exercises I learned as part of physical therapy. There is no question that Dr. Fullick was a perfect match for what I needed.

I've known Dr. Fullick since 2009 having seen him for a fall off of a bicycle then. Unfortunately I had a few more accidents over the years competing in Ironman triathlon that required his services. One thing was always very clear to me. He's an expert with the shoulder. Probably one the best in Houston if not the country. He never recommended surgery for many years with various shoulder issues from Ironman competition and was always looking for the best way to solve the problem which usually involved me being patient with t... read more

I was recommended to Dr. Fullick by my sister who's daughter went to him. In Feb. 2018, I fell and broke my humerus bone. Due to my cervical and generalized dystonia, I was unable to do physical therapy after my initial surgery. For about 2 years I could not use my right arm. However, the pain became worse and worse. Dr. Fullick (who was not my original surgeon), recommended that I have the hardware removed. That happened nearly 5 weeks ago. I am now doing PT which is helping. I thought Dr. Fullick's bedside manner was excel... read more

He did replace my shoulder. Wish I had chosen ANY OTHER doctor. Will never forgive the fact that he ignored the infection in my arm until it almost caused me to loose my arm. Bad choice.. After two years my arm still hurts- every day.

Dr. Fullick performed a shoulder replacement in Oct-2018. My surgery went very well and my recovery and rehab at Ironman Institute has been excellent. My care has been above and beyond expectations. Thank you!

I went to Dr. Fullick for a problem with my shoulder at the recommendation of my son who is a surgeon. Dr. Fullick took a conservative approach (physical therapy) initially, but when that didn't work, he gave me a steroid shot that completely relieved all of my pain. When the shot wore off, though, the pain was worse and my shoulder had frozen so we scheduled surgery. The surgery was successful and I have made a full recovery. THANK YOU DR. FULLICK!!!!
