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 wrong.
I was a patient of Dr. Fallows for many years. I thought he was very knowlegable and very thorough. He did help me with my pain. I was disappointed however when he terminated me because I refused to be vaccinated for Covid. I apparently had him all wrong. I was alarmed and surprised that he would be pushing a vaccine that had not even been approved except for emergencies. I had always thought he was more conscientious than that. I was wrong.

Back Pain
Telehealth
I have had several injections and even had back surgery , after my sciatic nerve lots it mind and crippled me. I went to Lady Lake for injections after surgery, and they lasted only a couple of months. I tarted with Dr. Fallons, more than a year ago, and he did not recommend valium, that I took with every previous injection, but his technique and manner was absolutely 'THE BEST'. I had another injection on Tuesday of this week, more than a year later, and received the very same results. MY OPION, HE IS THE BEST!! and has very good office personnel. I will see him again, over and over, if I need to. . . . . no complaints. 5 STARS

No a pain Specialist
This Dr should not be in business, of taking away pain. Only interested in useless procedures that he does not have the proper equipment to do. He was doing an epidural on me and could not find the spot to inject, after 45 min. I was asked if I wanted to continue. ??? Are you kidding me.

Excellence!
I have worked in pain medicine and am a harsh critic of other providers that do. Unfortunately I also have a lot of arthritic pain in my back which I am not interested in taking pain meds for, preferring alternatives such as injections/exercises. I found Dr. Fallows to be a very knowledgeable, patient and thorough physician. He thoroughly explained his reasoning behind his recommendations. His exam was not perfunctory but extremely thorough. I was never rushed and was provided plenty of opportunity to voice concerns and questions! Overall I was very impressed and would not hesitate to highly recommend him to anyone legitimately looking for pain relief.

Any doctor that refuses to treat 80 yr patients because they did not take the jab for the COVID virus should not be in practice.

A doctor who only cares about money. He refused to take me as a client because (even though they are under contract with my company) they don’t like the pay schedule my insurance company pays. They literally told me it wasn’t worth their time. I guess the fact that I’m in pain doesn’t matter at all...

After a year and a half of suffering from a back surgery I was lucky enough to have found Dr. Fallows. Within two visits he was able to explain my problem and proceed with a plan that helped me by injections. It’s been two weeks and I’m 95% better and back to doing all my household duties. I am so grateful for his knowledge and training that brought me back to my old self. Thank You ??Dr. Fallows. Gloria of Citrus Springs Was

Doctor Fallows is an excellent doctor. Only problem I have had was a scheduling issue where I had vascular procedure and was unable to make my scheduled appointment two days later due to driving restrictions but the Office charged me $50.00 fee anyway. Office staff should take into account the condition of the patient before charging them fees like this.

For the office staff it is all about the money, not you. They overcharged me every visit and took there time to pay me back. Furthermore they do not know what they are doing and are upset if you tell them so, not taking the time to find out why you think so. Now they won't do anything for me, as they consider that a waste of time.

Dr Fallows and his staff were wonderful in helping my husband with his pain. He was the only Doctor who knew how to treat it and get it under control rapidly. His staff is friendly and accommodated us by treating him right away. Thank you Dr. Fallows for helping us return to a pain-free life.

As a physician myself for 33 years, I found Dr. Fallows to be exceptionally knowledgeable, adept and generous with his time. I was treated with compassion, patience and understanding. His procedural skills are exceptional and I feel fortunate to have met and been treated by him. I could not recommend anyone more highly and would return to his care, if needed, in an instant.

I recently had a spinal cord stimulator installed by Dr. Fallows. The entire process from trial to permanent surgery was very professional, easy, and effective. I would recommend anyone with severe pain make an appointment with this doctor. His knowledge, experience and sense of humor is refreshing.

Waited months to get help for pain mgmt, that DOES NOT involve narcotics. They make you jump through numerous time consuming hoops, seeing this specialist and getting this report, etc, etc. to tell you they can't help you, during which time pain continues, and condition worsens. The staff is a complete waste, which appears to be the gatekeeper. Doctor Fallows needs to educate himself on treating people who are chronic and/or facing end stage diseases, and close the door from the beginning.

On my first call to the office, I was asked if I was on pain meds, when I said yes I was told That Dr. Fallows does NOT write any prescriptions for pain medication. This is coming from a Pain Management office! If you take any pain medicine at all do NOT go here, they do not want you!
