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.

Highly recommend!
Dr. Fanous is one of the best general surgeons I have ever encountered! He is thorough, he listens intently, he has quality data to present, he answers questions patiently, he is a highly skilled surgeon who performed surgeries on my family members and has excellent outcomes. He presents quality information on which we can make intelligent decisions. I highly recommend you seek him out for your general surgery and foregut needs. He specializes in diagnosis and treatment of GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) with the latest and greatest equipment and technique!

Excellent surgeon.
Dr. Fanous is a very skilled surgeon who has successfully operated on me twice. He is very thorough with his diagnosis and has a good bedside manner. He explained everything in an understanding way and answered all my questions. I would not hesitate to continue seeing Dr. Fanous.

Highly recommend!!
I had a hiatal hernia and needed the TIF procedure done also by Dr Fanous. He is an amazing doctor and described in detail everything that needed to be done to fix my issues. I used to have to take antacids just to drink water!! I am doing amazing now!! One year out and I feel amazing! I also had an amazing side effect , I lost weight which I love!! I owe everything to Dr Fanous for helping me with my issues! I would and DO highly recommend him for any and all patients that may have any GI issues! He also does many other surgeries and if I needed another one I would most definitely go to Dr Fanous!! He also has other doctors that come in to LEARN from him!! That just shows how amazing he is!

When deciding to research if you are eligible for the TIF procedure, there are many excellent reasons to choose Aspirus – Iron River. I too was a little skeptical about going to a small hospital. I found the surgical team exceptional and extremely professional. All staff follows the three C's: Caring, Competent and very Cohesive. Everyone working together makes your journey successful. Today you get more personal care at a small hospital. The staff at the clinic and hospital are exceptional!

I can easily tell you that this man and his staff are so well trained and prepared for the TIF and if needed Stomach surgery, you will not regret scheduling an appointment with them. Lastly, the hospital, located in Iron River, Mi. is a new and very comfortable place. Not to mention that from the employees that sweep to the Doctors are by far the nicest people I have every met and my entire family feels the same. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you Dr. Fanous, you changed my life! All for the good!!

Dr. Fanous performed a TIF in order to correct a weak esophageal valve. He precisely and patiently explained the procedure to me and the surgery was a success. He possesses a very grounded bedside manner and is a pleasure to work with. I would recommend him highly.
