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.

Lisa took the time to listen and took my goals and concerns into consideration before making a treatment plan decision. It was very personalized.

Office Visit with Dr Fanaee
Hands down, my consultation visit with Dr Fanaee was absolutely spectacular. Dr Fanaee is courteous and extremely knowledgeable & professional. Dr Fanaee reviewed my back medical history as well as my recent surgical procedure, systematically examining & diagnosing the various pain mgmt procedures, details & various treatments. Dr Fanaee explained each procedure, and tailored the options, based on his years of experience for my treatment. I have seen numerous physicians over the past two years , only to be disappointed with generic text book ineffective options and results. I can’t express enough the comfort level & confidence Dr Fanaee gave to me. Of course, I attempted to internet educate myself over the 2 year period, only adding to my anxiety and hopeless quality of life improvements. Dr Fanaee removed that cloud from over my head and I look so forward to living pain free going forward.I am 1000%positive I’m in good hands!! The office staff are very accommodating and pleasant.

Outstanding!!
Dr. Fanaee made me feel comfortable from the moment we spoke on the phone. He was sincere and listened. His approach was thoughtful and with my best interest in mind. His PA Lisa is also great, she listens to your concerns and does a great job explaining and helping with any concerns you may have. I highly recommend Dr. Fanaee and his team.

I have been a patient of Dr Fanaee since 2018 when my neurosurgeon recommended him. His expertise has been keeping me comfortable for many months at a time. As pain management he is fantastic. I usually get immediate relief after his treatments.
