I have had the privilege of working with people through medical practice for over 35 years. I was trained at two very prominent health care centers (University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and the University of Alabama Birmingham) so I have an excellent grasp of “traditional” health care. However, as my career progressed, I have increasingly incorporated what the public would refer to as “wholistic health care” into my treatments.
In 2020, the COVID-19 “pandemic” hit the country and I joined the small number of doctors nationwide who refused to accept the narrative that there was nothing we (doctors) could do to help people suffering with COVID. I've treated many people with "early" COVID care and had great success doing so.
In October 2022 I was offered the opportunity to join Stefanie Woodrow in her new Health and Wellness clinic in Alabaster, AL. I am excited about this new part of my career and hope you will join us in your quest for wholistic primary care.
“Dr. William Fulcher is the most caring, interested doctor I have ever had the experience of being a patient with. Also, he doesn’t immediately start trying to resolve all of your issues by throwing a pharmacy prescription at you, and I really appreciate that. He was able to do my exam, talk to me extensively, had me get weighed, had my blood drawn (onsite), and had me give a urine sample. All of this without leaving his building. That is a really rare thing nowadays.
I totally recommend him!”
