Very thorough , explained everything really well.
Doctor Falatyn is the very best, not only as an orthopaedic surgeon, but as a Christian with an excellent bedside manner. I have been so blessed to have been in his care. Roberta Steiner
Compassionate
Very professional and through surgeon. would highly recommend him.
Waited for over 2 hours and when I did see the doctor he seemed distracted and disengaged from our appointment. He didn't seem interested in answering my questions or giving me medical advice. Felt like he just wanted to get the appointment over with so he could catch up!! VERY FRUSTRATING!!
The best period
He is very caring about your recovery.
It was very informative and told me what was happening and very thorough
I have tremendous confidence in Dr Falatyn. He shows more concern for my well-being than any doctor I have ever dealt with
Dr. Falatyn provided me with significant assistance in resolving my chronic back pain, which I had endured for many years.
