Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I love the way this Gentleman listens to me and does what it takes to make my pain bearable. Thank You Dr. Fairleigh.

I saw Dr fairleigh for severe back pain and then due to a change in my insurance I was unable to see him again until now. I've changed my insurance just so I can see him because he's the best.

Dr Fairleigh is an excellent Dr - his staff as well have been excellent! He has worked WITH me to help with my spine injury I received several years back, and if one thing doesn’t work he continues to work with me and- we are just about there! I really get tired of some negative posts -if your getting meds you obviously have to drop a urine sample and if your taking your meds as prescribed then- that will be known, if you aren’t , then, that will be known! If your no longer taking those prescribed, perfect- just bring them with you to your appointment! He’s a Dr not babysitter! He has to go home to his family like everybody else and should be able to do so without worry - urine test don’t lie! DR Fairleigh and his team get 5 stars from me! I love the front desk ladies and gents they are so sweet! Michelle Jaks - Pensacola-

It's always a wonderful and most beneficial visit. Dr Fairleigh, Audrey, and all of the providers are excellent. I've been a patient of Dr Fairleigh's since 1993. He has treated my mom who is 89, and my daughter age 38. I met P.A. Monique at my last visit, she is a "top of the line", way above average provider. A compassionate, knowledgeable, and skilled pain management provider. I receive excellent care while we consistently work to keep medication at a minimum necessary level. This clinic has kept me on my feet, and able to stay active in life.

Found things to try previous drs wouldn’t, visits are short, nurse practitioners are helpful- must do urine tests- Looks for opiate alternatives.

I moved to the Pensacola area for work and was searching for a pain management doctor who performs a procedure that I felt held promise for me. I called his office and asked if he does this particular procedure. I was told yes. I made appt. explained to him why I was there. He llied to my face then proceeded to schedule outpatient procedures I previously had that were ineffective. Being double insured proved too enticing for this unethical and cold Doctor. He tried to lead me into surgery which couldn't fix my problem. He is the kind of Doctor I was warned about long ago. If you want disrespect he is your man,

A 5 yr patient, I found him CONSTANTLY ignorant of my pain causes; cold, uncaring, he tried only to cover his butt in the "opioid crisis". He changed, and slashed meds, then accused me of taking Rx I did NOT take, finally expelling me from practice for refusal of 1 MONTHLY urinalysis (BCBS ins denied for "excessive frequency"). Caring not about ME, only his soiled professional rep (see board complaint filings), he treated me as a “junkie” from day one. I wouldn’t take my DOG to this “Dr” !!

2 hour wait time, told me he would refill my pain meds of 30 which last me from 3 to 6 months, but when i went out to the reception area to wait for my prescription they told me he wasn't going to refill them, no explanation, yet i still have to got to PT and he still wants me to have shots, nor does he explain in detail what is going on, and on top of that he has no sense of humor never laughs at my jokes

He's a great doctor. He truly cares. I hate that he's bought into the so-called opioid crisis, however. He's cut my meds in half and taken some away. I'm in a worse position than when I walked in several years ago. But there's nothing I can do about it.

He’s a great doctor but he’s not giving enough medication. I’ve been going to see him for about 14 months. We’ve tried two types of injections and they only lasted a few days at the most and actually made me worse! I have spinal stenosis, disc herniation, and very bad arthritis. He’s very good about trying medications that I tell him about, and is willing to try them out on me! I’m just not on a high enough dose! It needs to be double what I’m taking on my main medication. I’m hopeful he will!

I was seeing him for a Rare Blood Cancer. I am taking Oral Chemotherapy. I seen him for 5 years. He admitted that he didn't know much about My kind of Cancer. But would research it. After going to him for 5 years. He still didn't know that I have cancer. Then accused me of selling my pills since My high mg water pill flushes My system. He dropped me from being seen. Made me feel like a very no good low life. I will not recommend him

He is very personable but I felt like I was in an assembly line as he sometimes does 27 procedures in the morning. He and the staff talk constantly to each other constantly during the procedure. He is a good doctor but wouldn't return because it is very difficult to get anyone in the office to return a call if you have a question. He is a very competent doctor but way too busy

You can tell he's been doing this for a while. He is easy going but strict on making sure my meds last. I don't mind but I've seen patients get upset when they don't follow the rules. He's a great doc that helped me get back on my feet again.
