Shawn R. Furst's Online Review Report Card

I met Dr. Furst a year ago. For 2 years I took pain meds that really didn't work. After all the pain and wasted medication I was introduced to Dr. Furst. The man gave me my life back!!! He is kind, attentive and enjoys a good joke. His procedures are mindful and not science fiction based as I thought. I am pain free thanks to Dr. Furst.

Dr Furst has helped me more than any other physician in 40 years. While treating my lower back pain, I mentioned Thoracic pain. Past doctors only prescribed pain meds. He took an interest and diagnosed bulging discs there as well. He listens and works with you to address issues and find positive results. YES I would recommend him.

He is a better communicator than most doctors. And will give you as much information as you ask for. He is relaxed and in no hurry though he is thorough in a short visit. Unlike my last pain management Dr L., Dr Furst did the proceedure on the vertebra he said he would. I experienced very little pain (just to know he hit the correct spot causing me to twitch) during the proceedure and none afterwards. The nurse. Asked what music I wanted to listen to and found the album on YouTube.

I have had pain in my hip for almost a year. I saw an orthopedic surgeon, who took x-rays and told me nothing was wrong. My primary care doctor referred me to Dr Furst. He is a knowledgeable, compassionate, and persistent doctor. Instead of just saying that because the x-rays had been normal, it must just be chronic pain, he explored everything that could be causing it. And he found the problem! So now I'll be seeing an orthopedic surgeon with proof in hand that there's a real problem, with a recommendation for arthroscopic surgery. I can't say enough positive things about Dr Furst, and would recommend anyone with pain to him

It took 3 months to get the first appointment. He seems to be very busy, but that is an indication that he is in high demand. He was quite through on the first visit and seemed familiar with my case. He was very clear with his first option and deciding on a course of treatment was very easy. I have great hopes that I will get considerable relief under Dr. Furst's care.

The amount of time it took to see Dr. Furst after making the actual appointment took longer than I would have liked, but the visit was a really good one. He seems like an excellent doctor, based on the one appointment I've had with him thus far. He is not a proponent of narcotics for management of pain. He is an excellent listener and right away I felt as though he really understands pain. I'm looking forward to the next visit.

Dr. Shawn Furst is a fantastic physician. I had severe neck pain due to pinched nerves and severe arthritis. Dr. Furst performed procedures that have virtually removed almost all of my pain. He is a very good listener, compassionate, empathetic, and guided me through each of the 3 procedures I had. He explained in detail what he was doing and what I would feel. When I had the RFAs, I was provided with enough pain medication to endure the procedure. I did not experience any adverse effects and I felt exactly as he had explained that I would. When I need to see Dr. Furst, I am given an appointment within a couple of days. Dr. Furst's office personnel return calls promptly and are also very kind and efficient. I would recommend Dr. Furst for pain management to everyone. I have gone to other pain management clinics in Chico and was very dissatisfied until I met Dr. Furst. My husband also goes to Dr. Furst and recommended that I go. I am very thankful for Dr. Shawn Furst.
