My procedure was more than a visit. For 6 years I struggled with spinal stenosis and then a herniated disc. Movement was a struggle and participating in even simple activities was almost impossible. After the surgery with Dr. Fanous, I have a new life and participate in activities ranging from swimming to photography, family gatherings, cooking and just about anything else I could possibly want. ...

In addition to my Rheumatoid Arthritis, I've struggled for 6 years with spinal stenosis and then a herniated disc. Attempting to manage the pain with frequent epidural injections, finally, there was no quality of life. Fortunately my internist found Dr. Fanous. He and his team performed surgery and the result is more than I could have ever hoped. I am able to swim, exercise, participate in outings and hobbies. I literally feel as if I have a new life filled with all the experiences movement affords us. I'm eternally grateful to Dr. Fanous and his staff. In my book, they are the very best.

Dr. Fanous has greatly improved my quality of life and has been a champion for my well being. My back pain had increased over the years from car accidents, to a point of limping and pain medication not having an effect. With treatment and finally fusion surgery, I am no longer limping (same day!) and no longer on any medications. He had also fought against the insurance company for me to ensure I was able to get the treatment I needed. I strongly recommend Dr Fanous....just don't make it harder for me to get an appointment.

At the age of 84, a tumor was found on my spine pressing on my spinal cord, causing walking difficulty for me. Dr Fanous was very through on my first visit, explaining the seriousness of the surgery and explained that without it I would be paralyzed from the waist down. Being a very active, independent person all my life this was devastating to me. Dr Fanous immediately put me at ease and was very ...

I am beyond pleased with the help I received from Dr Fanous. At the age of 84, a tumor was found to be pressing on my spinal cord and causing walking difficulty for me. When I met Dr Fanous he reviewed the MRI and explained if the tumor was not removed I would be paralyzed from the waist down. Dr Fanous immediately put me at ease. He was very through in explaining the surgery, emphasizing the seriousness of the surgery, location of tumor, tumor calcification, length of surgery (8hours), my age and survival during the surgery and recovery after surgery. Surgery was successful. Recovery was successful. Through my journey through this, Dr Fanous was very caring, calling to see how was I doing between office visits and always encouraging. I have my year post surgery appointment soon and I can't wait to walk into his office without my cane. If you are looking for a surgeon who cares for his patients, Dr Fanous is the Doctor you want. I just turned 85 and I am able to take care of myself, dr
