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.

Excellent Dr.

Exploratory Visit
Dr Faulk was very knowledgeable, professional, and prepared to discuss my options regarding my carotid artery. He had reviewed my CAT scan and history prior to the meeting and was very clear as to my options along with a good explanation of potential procedures and risks involved.

Dr Jim Bob Faulk
As a new patient with Dr. Faulk and my first appointment, I was apprehensive. I have an abdominal aortic aneurysm and tests showed it had grown this year and could possibly have one of two complications. I was scared. We had done our research and felt comfortable with our family doctor’s recommendation. Dr. walked into the room and was honestly the most personable doctor. Within the first five minutes of our visit, we were comfortable, reassured and confident we had the best vascular surgeon. He sat down and carefully explained the condition and how important it is to be on top of this and be pro-active. He took time with us, explained and answered all our questions ; so we left with more knowledge of my issue and a great assurance that we had one of the best vascular surgeons. We would highly recommend Dr. Jim Bob Faulk.

Dr. Faulk performed surgery on my husband. He has a very caring personality and put us at ease before the surgery. He sat down and explained things clearly and welcomed questions. After the surgery he called to let me know how things went, and before discharging my husband from the hospital he once again explained what to expect and what to do. We’re so thankful my husband was referred to Dr. Faulk!

Dr. Faulk and his staff are very courteous and pay attention to detail. He is to the point and explains options and plans that you can understand. I was extremely pleased with my stent procedure and he went beyond to make sure that I was informed of what all he did as well as informing my family members. I know that if he's doing the surgery I have no worrying of how the outcome will be. Excellent surgeon and a very good person. His staff is A-1! Great job guys! Highly recommend him.

I was underwhelmed. Appeared posturing and about ten years out of date. I have only a 50% blockage in an artery but baby aspirin a day is not going to do much. Will try further tests and a cardiologist because I'm concerned about other areas. Will see in future. The staff was very competent and I'd give them a 5. Faulk is probably good on people who've already had heart attacks and stroke - pre-stroke marginal.
