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.

He is just absolutely an amazing doctor amazing surgeon he performed lumbar spine surgery and cervical spine surgery on me which because of my other spine issues neither surgery lasted longer than six months but not because of his mistakes because he has never made any mistakes in either of my cases if I had both of my spine surgeries to do all over again I wouldn't want anyone else but him doing either one of my spine surgeries Thanks A Million For Trying Your Best To Fix My Problems Dr. Fabi I love you for your efforts.

Dr Fabi was compassionate and caring as a surgeon he did for me what others were unwilling to do and he did it successfully. I’m grateful to have been the patient of this gifted healer.

This was my second procedure with Dr Fabi. 9 years ago he put in a Dorsal Column Stimulator and most recently the system was removed. I have found him to be a great listener, understanding, patient focused,as well as professional. I would highly recommend him to anyone requiring neurosurgery.

My procedure did not go as planned. Continued to have residual nerve pain 10 months later and I followed Dr and PT's instruction to the letter. Was told that was normal. Had another MRI done because this didn't seem normal to me and it turns out that I have problems with the same disc. So now back to square one and will most likely have to go through the whole surgical process again to hopefully resolve the issue.

I have nothing but high praise for Dr Fabi and his work. I don't know why ANYONE would rate him any less than 5 stars. He treated me for a bulging disc over 4 years ago now and that operation has literally changed my life - for the better. At that time I had been experiencing back pain for over 30 years using other approaches short of surgery. His work combined with a hip replacement - also done at Bronson have left me free of low back pain ever since.

It was a diagnosis that took me by surprise, and a surgery scheduled quickly. Dr. Fabi made me feel very comfortable and confident in the surgery and in him to preform it. I highly recommend Dr. Fabi and his staff. Due to my experience with Dr. Fabi, his staff, Bronson Hospitals professionalism and their follow up, I have decided to look for a Bronson MD, after many many years with another hospital.

Hands down couldn't have asked for a better brain surgeon! 2 years post-op and the MRI scans can barely even tell there was a tumor in there! Absolutely excellent job and I would recommend him to anyone needing this serious level of medical attention. (Not to mention as a 24 year old female, he did a great job in shaving the smallest amount of hair off and considered how it would all be affected.) Best experience possible for what was going on!

Dr. Fabi, has done several difficult back surgeries on me that have all been very successful. He even referred me to The Cleveland Clinic and they said his care and treatment for me was excellent and that they could do nothing better then he had done. They were astonished with his design and placement of rods and said they had never seen such detailed work. Needless to say I hold him in highest esteem, and do highly recommend him
