Dr. Fulp did hip surgery on my elderly mother after a bad fall, and did a wonderful job.
I am very grateful to him for all he did.
Shortly after he went on holidays and left my mother's care with his PA-C's Javier Barbosa.
I would like to say how helpful his PA -C, Javier Barbosa, was to me and my mother.
I live in Canada and was unable to get to Texas because of the Covid 19 having the borders closed.
He went above and beyond to help us.
I can not say enough good things about this kind man.
I would highly recommend Doctor Fulp, and his PA-C Javier Barbosa.
You will be in excellent hands, and very well cared for.

I would not recommend Dr. Fulp, left me in pain after two surgeries, and when I went back to tell him that I was in pain, he acted as if I had offended him. it's now been two years since he operated on me and HE DOES NOT CARE IF you are IN PAIN. DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTOR

Dr. Raymond Fulp, who is actually from the Rio Grande Valley. Comes to San Antonio on Fridays and takes appointments, makes you wait for about an hour, then does not care about what kind of pain you are in. Conducts what he considers to be a review, tries to turn a buck, by saying, yeah I did this surgery on my wife and daughter. Then when you finally can get back in to see him, becomes offended when you tell him you are in pain from the surgery he has done on you and looks for anything to turn around and get upset and make a spectacle of himself, to get out of the damage he has caused. Go Back To The Valley and stay there. Don't come back over here.

I was referred to Dr. Fulp and I have received "Exceptional Care" from the entire staff. They took to the time to listen and educate me regarding my injury. Dealing with workers comp is stressful but his staff made me feel like a 'Patient' instead of a 'claim number'. I wish he could open an office in Houston, Tx so I could continue my treatment. I recommend his services to anyone in need. Thank you for all you have done for me. Best wishes.

I tried to tell him how bad my shoulder hurt. He had me out of the exam room in 3 minutes. Shoulder surgery. He said walk your finger up the wall. I said I could do that before surgery. My shoulder is a lot worse since surgery. He obviously doesn't care. I left his office and before I got home he referred me to work hardening. Slow down there Ray Fulp lll. We're getting a second opinion and another mri. I was supposed to have ortho but I have a 4" scar. He said the pump was down on the scope. I saw a few other patients that had same surgery. Same scar. Unbelievable!

I've had back pain for 10+ years. No dr. Would touch my back. Consultations and injections, therapy, neurosurgeons and NOTHING! Dr. Fulp operated and my back is like new!

Dr. Took over 12 hours to see patient. When he performed surgery, he did not explain or communicated with family members before nor after surgery. We had to go around entire hospital looking for update. Patient was in recovery for over 3 hours & they just kept on saying we'll see how she's doing in 15 minutes....which turn into over 3 1/2 hours

Although the doctor is not an issue those sisters in the front are extremely rude, how have they lasted so long?! Not seeing the doctor in follow visits isn't an issue, those sisters in the front are what greets you, and they always great you with a look of disappointment. Let's not even get started on their phone skills you. An literally feel their unhappiness, disappointment and utter rudeness over the phone.

I was given minimal information. An incesision that should be 1inch turns into 3-4 inches. Came to see me for 30 seconds after the surgery. Had horrible back spasms for 3 hours and no help given. I wish I had looked for another dr.

I have been in pain for 7 months and deteriorating physically due to an auto accident. Dr. Fulp was able to diagnosed the problem on our first visit, then prepare the medical intervention. I had my spinal injection this week, and for the first time since my auto accident have been able to sleep (pain and discomfort kept me up) and the pain discomfort and significantly reduced. Thank you, Dr. Fulp for helping me.
