Courteous, and friendly. Explained surgical procedure and aftermath quite well. Answered all questions.

Dr. Falicov went above and beyond to provide a comprehensive assessment of my case. I went to him for a second opinion after a seemingly long recovery time with another provider. The long and short of it was that things are tracking as they should but I now have a much more thorough understanding of how things are progressing and what I should expect based on my visit. I wish I had gotten the recommendation to set up an appointment with him sooner. I would highly recommend him based on my visit.

I was referred to Dr Falicov by another doctor who has been treating me for back/hip pain.She referred me to Dr Falicov because the injections she was using were difficult to get to the source of the pain.After seeing Dr Falicov today and discussing my situation, he explained every aspect of the problems I was experiencing and offered a logical treatment plan for my situation and beyond. If I was not getting relief from the injections after trying them for a few months longer, or if things started to be worse, with my mobili... read more

I have utmost respect for Dr. Falicov's knowledge, decision making, and engagement with me as his patient. His office also does excellent patient support. As I face a potential second spinal surgery, I have full confidence and trust from Dr. Falicov to guide me through.

My appointment with Dr. Falicov was very informative. I have been having back pain around 5 months after my Microdiscectomy. He very clearly and patiently showed me the differences between my prior and most recent MRIs. He explained what was causing the issue before and how better things are in my most recent MRI. He was very patient and reassuring.

I highly recommend Dr. Falicov, especially if you're seeking a doctors second opinion about the need for spine surgery. The doctor spent nearly an hour with my wife & i, essentially getting a Masters class in how the spine functions while he walked us through the details of my MRI. I do have a pinched nerve in my neck & have been numb in my wrist & pinky finger for months. The first surgeon i visited looked at my MRI and provided me with a single solution of major surgery to fuse the vertebrae in my neck - with up to 6 weeks... read more

I had spine surgery several years ago and I am still so thankful that I was referred to Dr. Falicov for a second opinion. The first surgeon I visited wanted to do two surgeries, two days in a row and I would be hospitalized for several days. I asked my primary physician for a referral for a second opinion and am I ever happy that I did. Dr Falicov recommended an outpatient surgery and years later I am still pain free. I had avoided surgery for years and can't believe how quickly I healed and how I have enjoyed years of pain ... read more

I was surprised that Dr. Falicov spent so much time with me given that he recommended against surgery. He explained my MRI and spinal condition, reviewed the surgical options, and recommended continued steriod shots instead. I felt informed - and very relieved!

I saw Dr Falicov due to my severe spinal stenosis that left me effectively crippled. I could not stand for more than thirty seconds without severe pain causing me to lie down. Dr. Falicov performed anterior lumbar interbody fusion Friday morning at 10 am and the next day at the hospital I was a new man! I highly recommend Dr. Falicov and his professional staff to hopefully due the same for you!
