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 was very happy with his advice and ability to understand and fix my injury. Everything went great!

He listened attentively, gave great advice, and gave me the cortisone shot I needed.

I have been treated by Dr Falender for 2 separate injuries. I fell on my left wrist. He helped by giving me the correct brace for my wrist. The second issue was more serious. I had been treated for a wart under my fingernail for 6 years. After several biopsies it was determined I had a benign tumor under my fingernail. Dr Falender removed the tumor 5 months ago. I now how a fingernail that is growing normally without the pain of the tumor. Dr Falender is a great physician and actually cares about how you feel. I highly recommend him.

I had a prior surgery from a different doctor in which I had a plate and screws inserted into my forearm. I ended up breaking that hardware and the bone. Dr. Falender took the broken hardware out and fixed the bone for me and replaced it with stronger hardware. My arm has never been better and I am back to full strength with no restrictions. I highly recommend Dr. Falender!

I had surgery on both thumbs to remove the severely arthritic bones in the joints and to reposition ligaments to rebuild the areas. Dr. Falender patiently provided answers to my many questions about the procedures and rehab. The results were amazing and I am now pain-free in both hands, which are now the strongest they've ever been. Dr Falender is courteous, professional & very knowledgeable. I highly recommend him to those who need surgery of a hand or upper extremity.

I am very angry at the horrible experience I had with Dr Falender. He spent a total of 3 minutes with me and just looked at my ailment for 30 seconds without touching/examining/treating the affected areas or asking me pertinent questions such as pain I was experiencing. He told me to continue to do what I have been doing without asking me what I have been doing for this ailment! I asked a few questions, and he responded with one word answers.

Thank you for the review, Marsha.

He and his staff were very conscientious of my injury and didn't inflict any unecessary pain as i have had other Dr's grab the injury and just start moving it, putting you into that contortionists dance from the unnecessary pain. All of my appointments were quick and concise. He is very knowledgeable in his field as well. I was very satisfied in all aspects of service. Thank you.
