Internists - Murray, UT

"I only have to see him every 6 months but he treats me like I'm his only patient. "

"Pretty sure I’m her worst patient... but she still puts up with me. That’s a good doctor. "

"My mother received a uterine cancer diagnosis in September 2022. Following her first treatment, she experienced two visits to the emergency room and a three-day hospital stay, to which he never checked in on her or our family. At the next appointment Dr. Ormsby recommended a lighter dose of treatment on a weekly basis for the remainder of the treatment, as opposed to the full dose every three weeks. Unfortunately, three days after receiving the first 1/3-dose, she was hospitalized again for four weeks. Throughout this period, we consistently contacted Dr. Ormsby's office to provide them updates on her condition and seek guidance, with the hope that we would be assisted in some way. Regrettably, neither Dr. Ormsby nor his office made any effort to check in or follow up. Even when we informed them that my mother was admitted to the neighboring hospital, her doctor did not visit or call, despite my raising the issue with one of his nurses. I would never recommend Dr. Ormsby to anyone based on his failure to address the severity of the treatment's side effects and his lack of support or concern for my mother's well-being. It appears that his primary focus was financial gain. Furthermore, I must express my disappointment that neither Dr. Ormsby nor anyone from his office reached out or offered condolences after my mother's passing in May. Although her cause of death was unrelated to cancer, but rather a consequence of radiation treatment received at Huntsman, one would expect a doctor, particularly one dealing with matters of life and death, to extend some form of support or acknowledgement to the family. Even when we visited the his office to collect my mother's records and then informing them of her passing, we received no response. It is disheartening to witness such indifference from a healthcare professional who claims to save lives."

"He has been an awesome Dr. for the past 5 years."

"I have been dealing with chronic stomach/digestion issues my whole life and finally decided to get it checked out. When I visited Dr. Oaks I felt as though she was annoyed by my questions and didn't care. I told her that I have to take laxatives because I had very irregular bowel movements and otherwise I could go days without a bowel movement but I wanted to figure out what was causing the constipation so that I don't have take something for the rest of my life. After a series of questions she told me we could do a colonoscopy but sometimes peoples just need to take them in order to go. Her over-all attitude didn't make me feel very hopeful or that anything was even solved. I know that Dr's are very busy and some patient's can be difficult but I left her office feeling like my visit was pointless and a waste of money and I guess I should just deal with it."

"I had seen this doctor once before. She seemed nice. I was seeing her concerning my blood pressure and mental health. I was on a medication for my blood pressure that was not properly managing my blood pressure. I had been on a different medication in prior years that worked better. I requested to be put back on this medication, seeing as I was no longer pregnant. She refused to change my medication because I wasn't on a birth control. I know my body and birth control causes a range of other issues to me, so I choose not to use it. Instead practicing other methods of prevention. I explained this to her, and explained every child I had, was planned. I know my cycle, I know my health. She didn't allow me to make the decision for my own health. She refused to even place me on a different medication or change the dosage of the medication I was currently on, knowing my blood pressure wasn't being properly managed on this, unless I do what she wanted. Which was to get on birth control. I proceeded to try and talk about my mental health, and my ADHD, which is prior diagnosed. I wanted to know what medicine options were available to me, to help with my ADHD and chronic anxiety. This woman spoke over me, interrupted me. Refused to let me finish a sentence. She yelled at me "you can not be on stimulants!" Even though I wasn't even wanting to be put on a stimulant. She insisted that there was nothing I could take and I just needed to loose weight instead of getting on a different blood pressure medication, knowing full well the risks that present with high blood pressure not being treated properly. She left the office without a word more or looking at me. As I sat frustrated and crying, because she wasn't listening to me at all or helping me. The assistant came in after this and was consoling me. Apologizing saying this doctor doesn't have good bed side manner. Some time after this I ended up having a massive anxiety attack, my blood pressure elevated and I was rushed to the hospital. All of which could have been avoided had this apparently "experienced" doctor helped me. There i spoke to a doctor who actually listened to me. Fixed my medication, and was able to find a medication I could take to help with my ADHD and anxiety that was not a stimulant. I wouldn't recommend this doctor. In my opinion Her mannerisms are not one of someone who actually wants to help her patients. She wants to collect a check. "

"I had to switch PCP's because my PCP I've had for over 25 years moved her practice to Park City where she's lived for some time. I didn't want to go out to Park City to see her everytime, so I found one much closer to where I live (Murray). I really like Dr. Fulghum. Although I only had one visit with her, my first impression of her was that I was impressed with her caring nature and her knowledge of medicine. I had a blood draw before I came to see her, and had the data sent to her office. She was very competent about interpreting the data, and so we had a good conversation about my health. I highly recommend her if you need an internal medicine doctor - which is what people 50 years and older get as a PCP. She is a good listener and I feel is genuinely concerned for my health. "
