R. Alan Failor

I first was cared for by Dr Failor when I had surgery in Bellevue. Both I and my wife were thankfully able to reconnect when he came to UW. We have never been more pleased with any doctor.

I should have written this review a long time ago! Dr. Failor is the BEST endocrinologist. I wish I could have moved him with me to a new state. Dr. Failor did my pre and long term post care due to a pituitary adenoma. He was very sensitive to how I was feeling and ensured that blood tests were performed every 6 months to verify the levels of cortisol and other hormones n my blood. I miss him terribly!

The experience that I had with this person (I refuse to call him a doctor because doctors don’t behave so poorly you get to keep that title!) was nothing like the experience that the other reviewers stated. Encountering him was a horrible, miserable experience! Getting him to answer questions directly was a nightmare! He was cruel and harsh and evasive! It was one of the worst medical appointments I’ve ever had and I’ve had many because of my complicated health! I cannot recommend him whatsoever. He behaved like he was drugged. When he looked me in the face it was like he was looking through me. He wouldn’t look at me and be compassionate whatsoever! This was devastating because I sincerely needed his help. His colleague had prescribed a medication to me that gave me serious and dangerous side effects which I needed his help recovering from. He was utterly useless and helping me deal with the situation. I wonder why a person would even remain in practice and behave this way!

He is a very caring and professional Dr. who has gone above and beyond for my case

Dr. Failor has been able to answer questions that I've had about my thyroid for years. He pays close attention to what I say. I usually only have to wait about 5-10 minutes in the waiting area before each appointment. I would recommend him to anyone with a Thyroid problem.

Dr. Failor took care of me for 7 years, pre-op and post-op until I moved out of the State of Washington. In all the years that I had thyroid disease, no one will ever match the care, kindness and geniune concern given to me by Dr. Failor. If you are fortunate enough and blessed to be in his care, then you have indeed a "tangible" and "intangible" gift of life! My thanks for all eternity to Dr. Failor.
