My husband had Dr.Fancher as his surgeon for burning of the nerves in his spine at Passavant Hospital, in Jacksonville, Il. We have nothing but high regard for him. Would recommend him to anyone. We met him on surgery day so can't really answer questions below about appointment, etc. Great bedside manner, talked to us and explained everything before surgery.

I have been seeing Dr Fancher for about eight years now. I have always had trust issues with any dr but right away felt comfortable in his presence. From my injections to other pain management he listens and has a very professional but down to earth way about his demeanor. He never seems arrogant like some drs and explains why my body reacts to things certain ways. I completely reccomend him for your pain management care. He isn't a pushy dr.

His listing of my past surgical history was totally inaccurate even stating I had a hip and knee replacement when I have had neither. He was unable after many tries to get an epidural into the spine.

Very positive experience. Had been blown off by other doctors and been to other clinics. Dr. Fancher actually listens, and has helped me more than anyone previously. Great staff, they actually care about you.

The doctor was professional and listened to me. I have been to many physicians, most of whom never even touched me. The pain clinic staff were professional and happy. My pain is much better and I am glad I went. By the way I am a medicaid patient.
