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.

Dr. Fiks and the pa;s are very knowledgeable and understanding,willing to spend extra time to find a way to ease your pain. I have had a spinal cord stimulator for almost 20 yrs,
which helps the pain quite a bit.

Right from the start Dr Fiks seemed to understand what I needed and gave me the confidence that he could help me and he did. I have seen other pain doctors and they didn't help and actually some made the problem worse. He also sent me to physical therapy that was as helpful in getting me strong again.l I've seen others that helpful. In shorts this has been a great experience.

Felt comfortable during the entire duration of the visit. Dr. Fiks was very thorough in explaining everything about my injection. I would recommend anybody to this practice for pain management. His medical assistant was very thorough as well.

not enough space for what I need to say here. A lot of doctors and specialists have seen me but then discarded my observations or pain and then passed over me so someone else will treat me. Here is not the case. They listen, treat me with compassion and actually diagnose correctly and then help me cure the problem. I wish I met them years ago.

I had a MILD procedure with Dr. Fiks, treating my L2-L3 spine. Following the two week recovery, my pain lessened overtime and within 30 days I was pain free! He explains everything very well, and was even willing to explain to my Son on the phone.
