About

Dr. Michael Fialkow is a leading voice in gynecologic surgery, with a research focus on surgical outcomes, clinical decision-making, and the integration of new technologies into practice. His work critically examines how practicing gynecologists perceive and adopt innovations, particularly robotically assisted surgery. In his highly cited study, "Attitudes and Beliefs Regarding the Utility of Robotically Assisted Gynecologic Surgery Among Practicing Gynecologists," Dr. Fialkow surveyed a large cohort of clinicians to uncover the real-world factors—beyond technical capability—that shape surgical choices. This work has been instrumental in highlighting the gap between technological promise and clinical adoption, influencing how surgical training and implementation strategies are designed. With over 8 citations on this key paper alone, his research continues to inform evidence-based discussions on the value and appropriate use of advanced surgical platforms. Dr. Fialkow’s contributions are essential reading for anyone interested in how surgeons think, learn, and adapt in an era of rapid technological change.
