About Dr. Christopher H. Fagan
Reviews for Dr. Christopher H. Fagan
Was my doctor for many years until the Fagans divorced, after that the office went down hill. If you come here, ask for Kelly. She is amazing but Chris sucks now.
My mom has been a patient of Dr. Fagan’s for a long time and has never had the care she deserves. There is absolutely no bedside manner either by the doctor or his staff, specifically Carrie. In fact, she is rude and always speaks as if she’s being inconvenienced. The doctor is quick to prescribe meds without running tests and does not seem to be interested in the root causes or how multiple meds are affecting her. No compassion or interest whatsoever. I think we have finally convinced our mom to see another doctor and we’re so glad!

Kelly~PC, Dr. Fagan~MD and staff are awesome and have helped me tremendously with my complex healthcare, test, procedures, and results. I'm blessed to have them in my corner.
Dr. Fagan is the great doctor. He has helped me very much
Rude staff. They take your calls as if you’re disturbing them and when you need something important they never go the extra mile. Bad attitudes. I had a medication issue and they told me to go to the ER because they were getting ready to leave. However I do like Kelly and Dr Fagan.
I was visiting big bear when I had to go to urgent care for vertigo. The staff is rude and they took advantage me of me financially. They told me I would have to pay now in cash because the visit was not covered by my insurance. After the appointment when I asked my insurance if I was covered there they said absolutely. It took me months to get reimbursed. And the reimbursement wasn’t the total amount that I should’ve been paid back. I warn you do not go here to see the doctor.

The receptionists are rude and completely unhelpful. I spent weeks calling the office after having x-rays sent there. Eventually they said they had the X-rays but no one had viewed them. That was on probably day 9 after having them sent there. On day 11 I called again and had a receptionist tell me everything looked fine on the notes and I'd have to schedule an appointment, another 12 days out, to talk to the nurse about the bulging bone on my face. I accidentally missed the appointment and they notified me afterwards I'd have to pay a $20 fee for missing it. After receiving no reminder and playing phone tag with them for over 3 weeks. I'll find a new family dr in Arrowhead or in Redlands before going back there. The receptionists are rude and completely unhelpful. I spent weeks calling the office after having x-rays sent there.

I usually see Kelly NP, but if she seems to need another opinion, she calls in Dr. Fagan. She did that today! She heard a click in a heart valve and called him in to confirm. Yes, he heard it too. Right away it was to get a cardio appt., for an ECG, blood work, x rays. I'm on it! Best practice in Big Bear, I trust them for my health, you should too, very thorough.. 5 STARS.

Dr. Fagan may come across as uncaring, but he is anything but. He is blunt and to the point. He was my MIL primary until we moved away. He also delivered my daughter when he was an er doc at bear valley. He is a good doctor. He even gave me some eczema medicine sample for my son who was dealing with it at the time. He is a caring doctor that doesn’t do drama, just facts. Would definitely recommend him!!! Dr. Fagan may come across as uncaring, but he is anything but. He is blunt and to the point.

He is direct and to the point. I appreciate his style
Gives straight answers. Doesn't beat around the bush A Doctor you can trust for better or worse
The front desk staff are very rude and inconsiderate. I left ID at home and they won’t accept a picture while my partner goes home to get it.

Most thorough doctor in Big Bear!
Excellent experiences. He examined the patient, listening and understanding the patient's needs, prescribing the medications and placing orders accordingly. Dr. Fagan is a wonderful and trustworthy doctor, I solute him!
Dr Fagan has been my Dr for over 20 yrs. He's the best in Big Bear. Love that guy
He's a quack. Worst doctor ever.
Best diagnostic Dr on the mountain
The man saved my life!! He's one of the two best doctors I have ever had! FIVE STARS!!!!
First I have never had a Doctor like Dr. Fagan. He tells you how it is, there is no sugar coating. You may not like what he says but keep listening, soak it in. Because I will not ever leave. He has showed my stubborn way that I am at times, a better life to lead. He knows what he is saying very knowledgeable in his work. I didn't have insurance paid cash for my visits. But something came up and Dr Fagan was very firm..Not only did he and Carrie get me to understand how important insurance is and to get on the right track, he handed me the card to call.. I went back to work after my visit and called the insurance company, I'm now insured and starting the process of getting better. I believe if I kept going to all the other doctors before Dr. Fagan , my Health will be on the downside. You want a Doctor that is Honest and Understanding will go out of his way to help... Then stick to Dr. Fagan . Looking for a good Doctor or want a change call Dr. Fagan. You will not disappointed.
Although the office is very busy, Dr. Fagan always treats me like family and answers all my questions. The staff is always friendly and kind. Hard working girls!!!!
Dr Fagan is an awesome doctor!! By far the best in this town!! My family and I have been coming to him for over 15 years. His staff goes above and beyond for their patients!!
Arrogant, and very rude, with no “bedside manner”. His way only, or the highway. Thinks he knows it ALL, and won’t take constructive criticism from anyone. Would never recommend. Should have changed Drs., 17 yrs.ago.j

Dr. Fagan is rough around the edges, he will tell you like it is. However, I trust him with whatever ails me. You have to listen to him, and only him. Sometimes there might be some miscommunication with his staff. Overall, he is a bit rough but he's nice enough. He has a soft side too, along with the brunt. He is a highly skilled physician, trust that, if you're in trouble go with him!
Don't know when this started, but I had blood work done a few weeks ago and hadn't heard from his office. Well, I called the office and they said they no longer contact people if everything is fine with the results. When the heck did they start this? I think I will start looking for another Dr up here if this continues. We would like to know the results Dr Fagan!
First time here in Big Bear, just passing through. Would not return. Find anywhere else.
I chose Dr Fagan as my new primary care physician as I recently moved to Big Bear. Made an appointment to meet my new dr. and request a refferal to see an opthomologist. On the morning of my appointment I received a call to confirm my visit with a nurse practioner. When I explained that the purpose for my visit was to meet my new primary care Dr. She became very rude and told Me the dr. doesn't see patients in the afternoon, and asked my if I would like to cancell my appointment and I did. Can't rate the Dr. As I never got to see him, but his staff is very rude and unprofessional, and I would not recommend .

Thank you, Doctor Fagan & Entire Staff for all you do for the Bigbear Community.
Christopher Fagan is the best diagnostician I have ever worked with or seen. His clinical skills are excellent, and his manner with patients while occasionally abrupt, is direct and honest. He is firm but kind. He uses a step-care approach to diagnosing problems, although his first hunch invariably proves to be correct - most likely from 40+ years of experience working in Emergency Departments of hospitals throughout the Western states. Trust him, and you will be in good hands. Christopher Fagan is the best diagnostician I have ever worked with or seen.

Dr. Fabulous saved my life
Saying this Dr. is a jerk is not fair, he is worse than that. He will be little you. He can't stay in the exam room with you, he consistently leaves the room to check to check on his staff. When he comes back into the room you must tell him everything again since he wasn't listening to you the first time. This happens each visit. He refuses to see you until he gets all records from other Dr's every time you come in, even eye exam or something he is not treating you for. He is a control freak.
DIAGNOSIS WORK UP EXCCELLENT
I will never go here again. If I could rate it zero stars I would! The ladies behind the counter are extremely rude and unhelpful.
Saw Dr. Bulrice for a rash and he guessed at a treatment and said if it did not work, to call and he would see me again. Called back and was treated nicely and scheduled right in. When I arrived they said it would be another charge for a full visit. The first visit was a total of 5 minutes with the doctor to guess at a treatment, that did not work. When did treatment become a guessing game and when the treatment didn't work, you would get charged again? Sounds like a system to make someone money, not help patients. Thanks but no thanks, you won't be getting mine or anyone else's business I know anymore.

If i could give no stars i would the service is decent but the cleanliness is completely unacceptable, its always filthy, i saw blood on the floor the first time i stepped into an exam room, my toddler almost picked up dirty tools. there were patients coughing ad no one had a mask on i understand supply shortages but every time i bring my children here 2 or 3 days later they are sick. When i spoke with the doctor about the cleanliness of the facility he agreed and said something needed to be done. i cannot risk the health of my family. I have contacted my insurance provider and will never be seen t this office again.

Dr Fagan and his staff were very attentive to my needs and will recommend Dr Fagan to my family and friends.
Dr. Fagan was instrumental in saving my wife's life when she suffered a cardiac arrest after walking into his waiting room Feb/2017. Five star doctor in my book. (Her's too.)
Dr. Fagan and his staff were very helpful when my elderly friend needed help with an emergency medical condition over the busy July 4th holiday weekend in Big Bear. His ability to provide the best care is exceptional. Thank you!

In emergency medicine doctors must treat the patients that are most critical. When we visited him with my mother he made time for her and calmed her down. Even with short term memory loss she always was grateful for Dr. Fagan's help.
While the PA Mr. Bulrice is very friendly he is not thorough and did not palpate or examine my arm completely. He Xrayed it but that is not the current issue. The issue seems to be (and sadly I have to self diagnose due to his lack of doing so) that when I fell I also damaged much nerve/muscles and these things need attention as I can not fully extend my arm due to the seized nature. I am with Kaiser and they are not on the Mountain so paying out of pocket, paid 330.00. Staff/Debra VERY rude!
The rudest Dr. I have ever been to. Arrogant, hostile and abrupt, with absolutely no compassion.

After several years of seeing John Bulrice P.A., I followed his practice to Dr Fagen. I highly recommend both. This office is very competent in every aspect of medical care. I personally have nothing derogatory to say. Thank you Abby & Christine for your hard work in getting my referrals thru. I know it's sometimes confusing, even my insurance co. told me what a great job you girls have done. Thanks again!
After the recent office expansion, this practice has gone downhill fast. Wait times of over a hour, sometimes with standing room only, with an appointment are common. Numerous mistakes by office staff on follow ups also common. Like telling you they called and left a message with important information when that did not happen. Having to call three additional times to get a routine RX refill after having spoken to the Dr. on a mandatory visit that they required to get the refill. Ridiculous!

I worked with Dr.Fagan at William Beaumont Army Medical Center as a ER tech. His expertise and awesome bed side manner and care are unsurpassed! He's down right no non sense and straightforward! Heck I took orders from the man and learned alot!! A++++ for me!!
Dr. Fagan is a jerk. He is rude and doesnt care to be mean to his patients. His staff follow his example and are also proud to be rude. After dealing with many doctors due to a workplace injury i would say that fagan was the worst doctor i ever had to deal with. I was treated like a criminal going to jail, when i was just there for a physical. They took a week to fill out the paperwork. I guess they dont care if i was able to start working just like they didnt cate about anything else.

Excellent doctor!!! When I moved to Big Bear 7 years ago, I found there were only 4 primary care physicians for me to select from, so I interviewed them all. I gave them the same list of my medications and medical history. Although Dr. Chris Fagan didn't have a hand holding bedside manner, he was far above the others, in his knowledge and ability to help me understand my problems. In addition, his recommendations to specialists down the mountain (when needed) have been exceptional. My experience with extremely serious medical problems, proved to me that I absolutely made the right decision selecting Dr. Fagan. He is straight forward and confident in his knowledge, doesn't sugar coat what needs to be said and always understood my symptoms. In my book, he's the best you could ask for in any medical situation. Excellent doctor!!!
