3 months agoI have the most wonderful and gratifying experience with Dr. Andrew Fanous. I went to his office with my husband in June 2023. I had a herniated cervical disc C 5. And was in a desperate situation with severe pain. My MRI findings were alarming. He promptly saw me and operated on me 4 days later. The care I received during the postoperative period in the hospital was outstanding. Today I saw Dr. Fanous for my annual and final visit . My excruciating and alarming pain is gone. And I am able to live a normal life . The visit gave my husband and I the opportunity to thank him for such a remarkable and outstanding job he has done. We strongly believe that the LORD placed Dr. Fanous in our path . And He used His brilliance and skill in my case. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Fanous and his team .

4 months agoIโm so late writing this review. Hope you understand itโs because I have been too busy living life again. Two years of shots and PT, sometimes great and then ultimately frustrating. Seemed I might not ever be pain free again Then I met Dr. Fanous. Terrified of surgery all my life I knew I had to try. It was his confidence and understanding that got me ready. Had my spinal surgery and felt good almost immediately, within a week I was drug free and never looked back. Obviously I highly recommend him for his surgical skills but also his dedication. Thank you.

a month agoDr Fanous performed back surgery on April 18, 2024. Today is Aug 21, 2024 and I have my life back with no pain. Iโm back to walking daily for 1 hr and am eternally grateful to God Dr Fanous and staff for the great care and professionalism. The only regret is I should have done this sooner.

2 months agoDr. Fanous! Geez, where do I even start! People it is not easy going through pain and trying to find a neurosurgeon that you can trust. I was lost in a world full of excruciating pain. My active life as I once knew it was gone. But even through all the pain I NEVER gave up hope. I went to a neurosurgeon (won't say a name) he was horrible he said he couldn't fix me. I was terrified. Then my pain management Dr. Called and said I am referring you to one of the best neurosurgeons I know of for a Second opinion. I was feeling discouraged to go see another neurosurgeon. I didn't take the initiative to call and make an appointment. Then the Dr. Fanous's office called me got me in right away. Let me tell you! That was the best decision I ever made. I met Dr. Fanous & his crew the Best passionate medical professionals I have ever met. Dr. Fanous went over everything with me step by step. He is a man of hope a man full of faith. You feel his positive energy. Dr. Fanous, Zoe & Erin made me feel at home like family. Most importantly When I walked out of his office after 1st visit in December 2022 after taking his advice I quit smoking "cold turkey" just like he said to do. In Dec 2022 I had ACDF C5-C7 when I woke up after surgery excruciating pain was gone. That pain was so severe before surgery that I only thought that was the pain I had. Soon after surgery and neck pain eliminated. I found out it's my whole back and lower back I was also suffering from. In Aug 2023 I had right SI fusion was immediate pain relief. In December 2023 I had left SI fusion. Immediate relief. Our lord truly guides this brilliant neurosurgeons hands. My life has changed so much. Been able to do so many things after. I will NEVER forget Dr. Fanous, Zoe & Erin! My family & I are forever grateful for you all! So please anyone feeling lost or hopeless thinking nothing or no one can help your pain alleviate or eliminate it. Or you need a second or 3rd opinion. PLEASE give Dr. Fanous a call! He is an exemplary surgeon! Don't give up! Keep self advocating and go see Dr. Fanous! You will NOT regret it! THANK YOU DR. FANOUS & TEAM for changing my life!
