This testimonial from a West Point Graduate, Combat Veteran and former multi-sport intercollegiate athlete with service related orthopedic issues, is typical of her work:
"Caring excellence" is how I would describe Fabiana. It is a rare thing in any profession to find someone with that combination of technical excellence, caring for the overall and long term outcomes for a patient, and the leadership and character to bring out the best in a person. The difference in my own strength, flexibility and bearing after multiple back and other surgeries, and the attendant challenges with going from healing to health, would not have been possible without her. She sees not just what the problem is, but what is possible. My daughters think she is "simply Fabulous" and I heartily agree with them!"
