Dr Falatyn was outstanding.
Known him for years has done surgery on my back. Now he does consultation, which I think is awesome to bring your m. RI or X race for him to check out
Dr. Falatyn listens, cares, and I have entrusted him to do 2 of my back surgeries. I have been a patient since 2014 and consider him a friend.
Dr Falatyn is a superb caring doctor. I'm pleased to have him for my surgeon
The only Doctor I trust to cut me open.
I've been going to Dr. Flatten for years and he's soft-spoken and so helpful. I would go to him anytime.
