Avis
The Best Orthopedic Surgeon!! Dr. Riad did my ACL and meniscus surgery, and the same day after the operation, I was able to do a few steps in the Hospital room. It was an excellent experience from start to end. He explained all stages from the first appointment – before, during, and after the surgery. Plus, he is so gentle and attentive to details, and he takes his time to answer your questions and explain everything. Six weeks after the operation, I swim, bike, and walk. Overall, I’m really happy with my experience with Dr. Riad Fakih, and I highly recommend him. Thank you Dr, you are the best! – Google Reviews –
