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.

Great surgeon
Every time I went for an office visit and just prior to my Lumbar Spine Fusion Surgery (ALIF) surgery, he was very approachable and pleasant. Explained everything well and encouraged questions. Gave clear explanations. Thanks Dr. Fairchild.Also my thanks to Anthony Lee who is the meaning of patience in the dictionary. Grateful to the nurses and X ray technicians as well.

Back surgery
Telehealth
I was suffering from leg pain and numbness due to a bulged disc. Dr Fairchild explained what he would be doing to correct the problem. I had the surgery and have been pain free ever since and am walking 2 miles a day, and had the surgery 3 weeks ago. It might not seem like alot, but for me it is, before the surgery I wasn't going for walks any more due to the pain. Kudos to Anthony Lee for explaining and answering all my questions. I would highly recommend Dr. Todd Fairchild and his team.

Excellent experience
Dr. Fairchild is personable and straight forward, and as I can attest, highly skilled. My L4 L5 spinal fusion has been a great success and changed my life. Needless to say, it is vitally important to put in the before and after surgery exercise and follow the recovery recommendations. I am truly delighted and blessed by the results, and I know I made the right decision with Dr. Fairchild and in my circumstance Dr. Burkett, who made a surgical pathway for the procedure. Also kudos to Anthony Lee the Physician Assistant who was always there with a quick response to any questions I may have had. A great team.

I became a patient of Dr Fairchild in 2016 and he did spinal fusion surgery within a month and it was successful. Due to the condition of my back ended up with additional spinal fusions in 2019 which have also been successful. I can’t say enough good things about the professionalism of Dr Fairchild and his entire staff. He takes his time explaining everything and his bedside manner is second to none. The entire staff is very helpful and pleasant. I have recommended several individuals to Dr Fairchild and they have had successful outcomes also and I will continue to recommend him.

I ended up a patient of Dr. Fairchild unexpectedly. I had emergency surgery on my neck. I had an MRI with another doctor who found the problem and sent me that day to Dr. Fairchild. That night I was in the hospital and had surgery the next morning. I should add that this was also a holiday weekend. Dr. Fairchild was simply fantastic. The surgery was a success and I am grateful I can still walk. I can't recommend him highly enough!
