DON KENNEDY

AGE 773

“Dr. Fanous is not your run-of-the-mill podiatrist. He is also very skilled surgeon who is caring and compassionate and will do whatever it takes to help you heal. I am a diabetic. He recently removed an infected bone in my foot. He insisted that I stay in the hospital for several days to recieve (intravenous) antibotics and arranged for visiting nurses to care for me at home while I recuperated. I am now on my way to a full recovery. His staff is very helpful, efficient, and friendly. I have come to consider Mike Fanous a friend. I will continue to visit his office for regular check ups.”
