Patient Reviews
Nov 11, 2025
I will never go back to Dr. Falgoust—uncaring, no sympathy, terrible doctor-patient relationship, and rude. I found another caring specialist who is correcting the problems I had; he was appalled when he heard how Dr. Falgoust treated me. My advice: do not go to Dr. Falgoust!
