Frederick Flaccavento MD

I was told by a physician in the area that I need surgery to fix my disk problem, so I could regain strength in my right arm. I decided I was too young for the surgery, so I went the physical therapy route. I also wanted some additional relief from the pain and the tingling in my fingers from the nerve damage. I was told that Dr. Flaccavento was one of two people in the area that I should consider seeing. I was feeling better from the physical therapy, but kept my appointment to have the procedure done, as I was still having some discomfort. After a very through examination and long discussion we decided that I did not need the procedure at that time. What is most impressive about Dr. Flaccavento was that he recommended against the procedure telling me that I had made great progress in a short period without it. He could have just done it to collect his fee from the insurance company.
