Rano Faltas, MD - Pain Management in Waconia, Minnesota

“When your in a serious situation with your spine you have several options. Your primary physician. Which is a very good option that you will have to fall back to. A back surgeon that you ultimately may have to use. A pain physician that will ultimately treat you. I have had all three. I'm not providing a review on the three just Faltas. The most important one is Faltas. Better understanding of the situation by far of the three. The only one who will actually listen, and the only one who has an office that will work through anything to treat you. A major spinal injury will ultimately change your life. You can get surgeries but you will still be left alone. Especially if they don't work. I'm hoping your not in this position but if you are Faltas will be the one that gets you through it. The other two will not. They have their place but Ispine and Faltas are the best thing for any spinal condition. It's not even close. He is the best and as difficult as it is without him I don't see how I would have gone about it without him in the loop. He is the best Dr I have ever seen. It's not always additional surgeries you need. You very well may. But surgeons are great for a surgery. Maybe pain management could an option? Just use all your inputs would be my recommendation. If you can buy any amount of time it might help. I also understand this opinion may not be wanted but it's the only opinion I could give on my situation. Faltas is the best Dr there is. That's really it.”

“I love Dr. Faltas! I've learned that if he tells you the procedure isn't going to hurt, he really means it. I've had previous surgeries and procedures elsewhere where I wasn't told it was going to be painful and just how much it was going to hurt. Because of that I became distrustful of everyone in the medical field. Dr. Faltas really took the time to listen to my fears and anxiety and reassured me I'd be sedated and wouldn't feel anything. He was 100% right on. I can't say that I'm looking forward to future procedures I'm going to need but if any are with Dr. Faltas, I know I'll be in good hands and can trust him.”
