Christian Fulmer, DO

I will first say that I have not been to see Dr. Fulmer. This review is for the experience I had contacting his office. After doing a considerable amount of research to find a primary care physician, I called his office to schedule an appointment. The gentleman who answered the phone was not very friendly and just said that Dr. Fulmer is not accepting any new patients and hung up. I understand that he may not be taking new patients, but I found this receptionist’s attitude and lack of kindness to a person requesting him as a doctor be representative of his practice. Not a good first impression.

I’m not an authority on doctors. I only run into them when someone runs into me. Dr Fulmer is an intelligent, caring, responsive doctor. He’s skateboard injuring repairing skills is second to none. His stitching style when I visit him after returning from the bar makes Ozwald Boateng jealous.
Although not looking forward to my next crash/​incident, knowing Dr Fulmer will be there to put the pieces back together again makes me want to go out and try base jumping from the roof of our single story house.

I haven’t been to see the Dr yet, but his address and phone number have changed. The new ones are:
408 357 1410
50 E Hamilton Suite 120
Campbell, CA 95 008

My wife and I have been seeing Dr Fulmer and Dr Chris for over a year now! They are both very knowledgeable about sports injuries as well as anything else. My wife and I work out a lot so we have some issues here and there. Both very professional and great/​nice guys. I definitely recommend coming here.

Dr Fulmer and his staff are amazing! Their so friendly and helpful. I love all the nurses and staff they are really great and I definitely recommend making Dr. Fulmer your doctor! Can’t say enough good stuff about them.

Wow, wonderful doctor!
I avoid all doctors like the plague. It makes my blood pressure go up when I have to go. But I chose Dr. Fulmer based on the great Unilocal reviews. All that I read here is true!
Dr. Fulmer is so friendly and easy to talk to! He took his time with me and actually listened. I didn’t feel rushed at all. He’s personable and wasn’t cocky or pushy. He took the time to write down the names of specialty doctors. I will definitely see him again and feel more at ease about going to the doc.
I will say my experience with the front desk wasn’t great. I was on hold a long time and the receptionist didn’t listen to me at all when I said I was new at least 3 times. But she’s nice enough and the doctor is totally worth it. So go see him. :)

Dr. Fulmer is the most wonderful doctor EVER! If you need a doctor, YOU SHOULD SEE HIM! If you have an ongoing chronic problem that has gone unsolved by other doctors you should DEFINITELY see him. I would give him waaaaaay more stars if I could.
I have been seeing him for about 2 years and I just saw him today for an ongoing issue that has gone unsolved by other doctors (specialists). Side note: I never say him for the problem in the first place, I went straight to the specialist. I should have gone to him FIRST! Boy do I regret that decision.
Anyway, he comes in the room sits down across from me just a few feet away, leans forward, makes eye contact, and asks «How are you?» while extending his hand for a hand shake. Then our conversation went something like this:
Me: I’m good, but I would be better if I didn’t have this problem
Dr. Fulmer: I can understand that, How can I help you today?
Me: Well, I have a very long story to tell you…
Dr. Fulmer: Okay, I am ready to listen.
What doctor says THAT?! He then proceeded to lean in, maintain eye contact and actually LISTENED! To the entire story. All the while, he reflected what he was hearing back to me. He said things like «It sounds like such and such» or «What I am hearing you say is…» (A+++ for listening, Dr. Fulmer!)
Then, after my crazy long story, together we tried to figure out the best solution to the problem. All the while, he answered all my questions and explained everything in a way that I understand. I left feeling a million times better. He gave me the reassurance I needed that my other doctor (the specialist) pounded into the ground from his egotistical pedestal.
When you see Dr. Fulmer, you really are a team working towards common goals. This is how health care should be. You will not be disappointed. Aside from being the best listener, he is warm, friendly, attentive, and willing to think outside the box. It will be a super sad day if I ever move too far away to see him. I would drive 2 hours or more to see Dr. Fulmer if that says anything about how amazing he is. I really cannot say enough great things about him, so I will stop the babbling and just end with: Dr. Fulmer is the best doctor out there and you should see him.
BONUS: His office now has an online patient portal and if you have questions for Dr. Fulmer, you can email him and he’ll email you back! Usually within 24 hours. No middle man (the receptionist/​nurse). They are still working out the kinks with online appointment scheduling but kudos to them for going paperless and providing amazing customer service!

A friend referred me to this office when I moved to the Bay Area and I am so glad she did! I’ve suffered from lower back pain for 12 years and every doctor I’ve been to brushed it off and refused to think outside of the box to figure it out… until I met Dr. Fulmer. He was willing to tackle it head on and we actually found the answer! He has been so helpful in managing my diagnosis, as well as anything else I’ve had come up and needed to visit a doctor for. He always listens and gives you the time you need. I agree with a previous post that I always feel my questions are answered and I’m at ease when I leave. I don’t think I’ve ever found a more sincere or helpful doctor than Dr. Fulmer!
His receptionist is busy but she’s been helpful whenever I’ve called or checked in. The office is very nice and always clean, but I do agree the walls are a little thin, however, I never feel confidentiality is at risk because I’ve never heard a name, birthdate, or any identifying information. I definitely appreciate the speed in which I’ve waited, been seen, and on my way– all with feeling like I’ve been heard and helped!
I could never say enough wonderful things about Dr. Fulmer! I strongly suggest you give his office a try if you’re looking for an excellent physician!

Excellent GP. He listens, is helpful, and I’m so glad I switched to him.

5 stars for Dr. Fulmer. I have only been to him a few times, but those times he listened and was pleasant.
3.5 stars for his office:
Trying to get a hold of the receptionist is hard. Dr. Fulmer said he would call when some test results came in, but I never received a call. I called 7 or 8 times over the 6 business days after the results should have been in until I could get the results.
One more thing: The walls in this office are so thin. I could easily hear every word in the next patient room. I guess it isn’t a big deal, but it just seems like it should be more private.

Last year I was looking for a new doctor for an elderly family friend. I
first started to ask around for recommendations — with no great leads. Soon
afterwards, I started my Unilocal search for Campbell doctors. When I looked
over Dr. Fulmer’s Unilocal reviews I noticed a thread that was consistent. He
was very patient, kind, and never seemed rushed. This was really important
to me since my friend is 85 years old and needed a doctor with great bedside
manners.
During our first visit I noticed that Dr. Fulmer was really listening to my
friend and asking all the right questions. I know a little about doctors
because I have one in my family. So for me, my standards were pretty high
to start with. He ordered a few tests to confirm things which were being
managed by the previous doctor which impressed me with his thoroughness.
After a short while, he suggested that we see a specialist because he felt
that something else might be going on that needed to be checked out. Fast
forward — it was cancer. While I’m very sad about the diagnosis, I am
relieved to know that we finally had some answers to what was going on for
so long.
Dr. Fulmer is always very professional and his follow up is outstanding. He
has ALWAYS been available to explain things in detail and this is rare with
doctors these days. His knowledge of medicine is amazing and while I know
some might questions his DO status, I can assure you that he is not lacking
the knowledge of medicine one bit! He goes well beyond his patients
expectations and really cares about them. I’m sure that if you choose Dr.
Fulmer you will find the experience to be rewarding and possibly life
saving!

Today I had my first visit to see Dr Fulmer for a general physical. We discussed a number of issues and I have to say, he listens and considers what you are saying. You are getting real service not the standard 2 minute ‘how fast can I get them out of here’.
The front desk is very nice and handles things efficiently. They were pretty much on schedule so not excessive waiting. He also keeps times open daily to take last minute appointments so you don’t have an emergency only to get told that they are booked out 3 weeks.
I rarely go to the doctor but this was overall a great experience. You can’t really go wrong with Dr Fulmer.

Everything in my original review has remained true for almost two years now. He’s still great and we will not see another PCP.
My only comment is that his office ONLY accepts PPO insurances. This was great when we began seeing him, but our lives have changed and we would like to switch to an HMO, and would have to stop seeing Dr. Fulmer if we did.
We’re so pleased with him though, that we will remain PPO, in order to keep him as our PCP.

Dr. Fulmer is very approachable, thoughtful, and polite. He listens well and explains well. I really like him!

Terrific! Interested and a careful listener. Very generous with his time and candid in his comments and suggestions.
Did I say terrific? I should have said, TERRIFIC!

Dr. Fulmer rocks! He remembers everything about me from one physical to the next. He’s pleasant, thorough, caring and one of the best doctors I’ve ever had.
He always is well versed in the latest meds, solutions, etc. Use him, he is terrific!

Dr. Fulmer is a great guy, and a good Doctor.
I spent several frustrated years looking for a good Doctor. I’ve had enough good experiences with DO docs to know that they are my preference. I just feel that they look at the whole picture instead of a symptom.
Also, I’m a very active athlete, so I wanted someone with a sports medicine background. I find that they have a better grasp of what I’m putting my body through, as well as, ideas on solutions (not just rest and advil). DO with a Sports Medicine background… took a while, but here he is.
From my first experience, I knew I would like him. He’s very approachable, very friendly and accommodating. That’s great.
But what sold me was when he diagnosed a hamstring injury of mine, one that I had been bothering me for a year. I had been to several docs before him, but none identified it. It was a bit obscure of an injury (hamstring tendonosis… yes that is spelled correctly). It’s a running injury that if you don’t treat properly, it won’t heal. Once he diagnosed it, I started therapy and was good to go.
I’ve also seen him for a few more sensitive issues. During those occasions he talked with me not only about my physical condition, but about my mental state as well.
I think he’s great. He may not be right for everyone though.
He’s definitely great for young people and young adults.
I think also think he’s perfect for athletes of all age.
For me he is the perfect combination of what I want in my personal physician.

I typically only see DO doctors as they are holistically minded in their treatments. They are not big into writing antibiotic prescriptions for every symptom… a huge relief nowadays.
I thoroughly enjoy my doctor visits to see Dr. Fulmer. He is authentic in his care of the patient and takes the time to hear complaints (or my hiking adventures) and come up with some alternatives/​prescriptions/​health aspects that will improve your problem. You never feel rushed.
As a current patient I can (usually) always get in the same day.
The office is clean and warm. The receptionist is friendly, helpful and efficient. And there is always candy on the counter!

Dr. Fulmer is great. I am pretty particular about my doctors and quite honestly Dr. Fulmer is the best I have come across in my 24 years. He is very modern and takes notes with his laptop (as do the other doctors in his practice).
He is very thorough and friendly and will work with you to find a course of treatment that will fit you, not just prescribe something without first exploring all the options with you. I would recommend him to anyone.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Fulmer for a few years now and I consider him the best primary care physician I’ve had. I moved a lot as a kid and have probably had 20 doctors in the multiple cities I’ve resided, so I consider myself an authority.
Dr. Fulmer is a great guy. He’s extremely thorough and he TAKES TIME with you on every visit. He has an old school approach that makes you feel like he knows you and cares about you. I have to say that doctors who spend 2 mins with you and throw a prescrip at you are garbage, especially when guys like Dr. Fulmer exist.
Highly recommended. You won’t be sorry.
