Complete elief from epicondylitis (tennis elbow) without surgery. It was a miracle necause after EMGs, slings, wraps, and multiple conflicting opinions, Dr Failla was able to work some magic. It's been a few years with no recurrence, and I think of him every time I make a move that might involve stressing my elbow. So far, no indication that the problem will come back. Thank you Dr Failla, and thank your talented staff, from the physical therapist to the brace maker, and all in between. Great team!

I've had two major hand injuries. Both times Dr. Faila has taken action that has restored full function. He is courteous, professional, and I wouldn't think of going to any other doctor for a hand injury. He's simply the best.
