Dr. Fallis has helped me understand in detail my condition, enabling me to better make choices on how to increase my mobility. His knowledge of the body and attention to details regarding my case always is amazing. Dr. Fallis walks into the room having read over all my notes and looked at all my scans/ tests with a clear picture of what is going on in my body. He follows that up with questions and tests to give him the full picture of what's going on. He then showed me pictures of my past scans/tests and took the time to explain in detail what is going on, answering every question I had and giving me follow up instructions. His knowledge, attention to detail, compassion for patients, and ability and willingness to take time to explain to patients what is going on in their body is truly a blessing and has had a huge impact on my life. The first day I came into Dr. Fallis' office I was barely able to stand or walk and was not able to sleep do to constant 10 level pain. I wanted to give up. With his care and the help of my Vanderbilt team I am able to walk with a cane and make changes to my life that further benefit Dr. Fallis' treatments. My quality of life has increased beyond what I ever thought I would have again. I am so thankful God brought me to Dr. Fallis and I am so thankful to be one of his patients!
