Excellent service, top notch and very professional, and a wonderful Cristian that is blessed! Thank you!
Dr. Steve is very thorough and genuinely very caring!
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.
Outstanding
