Dr. Medhat Fanous, MD

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!

I have complete faith in Dr Fanous! He is excellent in every way. I have recommended Dr Fanous to Family and Friends. He always takes his time, listens, cares, and is completely thorough. I always walk away knowing that I have had the best care possible. I completely trust Dr Fanous. I am so grateful that I found Dr F. I highly recommend him.

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.

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!

Rushed visit, avoiding the issue after a surgery gone wrong. Very disappointed!

A great Dr. kind, understanding but to the point .tells you like it is and shows much care for his patients.

Dr. Fanous is a extremely skilled surgeon, and has a great personality. He is such an asset to our community. I had hernia and TIF surgery performed and now I feel great. No more sleeping upright in my lazyboy!! Give Dr. Fanous and his staff a chance to help you too.

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!

Dr. Fanous was skilled, knowledgeable, talented, caring, compassionate, humble, and friendly. He saved my life, literally. I sing his praises for all that he has done for me. The time and effort he devoted to my care was extraordinary. Thank you for everything. I highly recommend him.

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 is a gifted and rare type of Doctor. He exceeds all expectations in manner, practice, wisdom, medical and clinical expertise, and patient/Doctor relations. He is a gift to our community. I am so grateful to him!

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.
