Yes, Dr. Fuerst , whenever I do visit him, he shows total respect. He listens. He doesn't seem to be in a rush. And his staff members are very cordial, very respectful. I have no complaints about Dr. Fuerst and his staff. Thank you.

There was nothing you could do that would be better than the experience I had. The facility was great, on time, courteous and efficient. Dr. Nicholas FUERST was fabulous and understood my concerns and he was very candid and informative.

I did not care for the woman's attitude when I checked in. Otherwise, I had a great experience

I absolutely love Dr Fuerst. Excellent physician. I was released into the care of oncology but he made it clear if I needed him I could call. Caring person.

Nothing I like the doctor that I saw and the nurse is friendly and I like her also
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/31/2025
Give the doctors in Easly more offices.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/30/2025
It would have been nice if the tech who took my vitals could have smiled and been friendly! All I got was a "hello" with her back facing me. They should be the ones to make the patient feel comfortable since a doctor's visit isn't a social visit. Most of us are a little anxious to be there anyway. If one isn't happy with their job maybe one needs a new one!

Nothing- it was much better than expected.

I have no suggestions. Everything and everyone exceeded my expectations.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/18/2025
I have to say this was one of the very few physicians that I immediately had total trust and confidence in. Dr Fuerst was totally awesome. I would not hesitate to recommend him.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/15/2025
All good.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/5/2025
Everything was fine I just forgot a few questions I had until later.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/2/2025
I know it didn't have anything to do with how well Dr. Fuerst treated me but when I go into that office and the first person you meet is rude and uncaring it has a lasting effect on me. I won't stop coming to see him because of it, but I'm used to people at Prisma treating me more kindly
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/30/2025
It's more my fault, I don't have enough knowledge to ask the right questions.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/27/2025
