Radiculopathy near Livingston, TX

Care Philosophy: Dr. Fayaz is a communicator, both with his patients and with the referring physicians. He believes that his patients deserve an accurate diagnosis and a realistic treatment and recovery plan. The majority of patients presenting to a neurosurgeon can be managed conservatively and non-surgically. For this to be determined accurately, however, a thorough clinical and diagnostic assessment must be performed. The primary objective is to understand the patient's symptoms and signs in the context of a comprehensive diagnosis, to then lay the foundation and groundwork for treatment. The patient needs to know all the options for treatment, both surgical, and conservative or non-surgical. This requires a partnership with a team of other healthcare providers and professionals, including Neurologists, Pain Management Specialists, Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine Specialists, and Therapists.
