Dr. Yannopoulos – Testimonials

Excellent services with Dr Yannopoulos!

Dr Yannopoulos, in my opinion, what a Doctor should be. Caring, compassionate, competent, and is totally zeroed in on your issue. The Best!

It’s nice that they can get an appointment for you in a few days and the staff is just wonderful!

Very helpful and more importantly, empathetic. Dr. Y understands your pain and feels for you. It's his motivation behind wanting to help you get relief from my back pain. He's a good man. He listens to you and lets you tell your story, your symptoms and even your idea of what is the problem. He doesn’t brush you off as not knowing anything about your own body. That goes a long way with me.

Dr. Y is great! Always answers questions! Cares deeply about his patients. Positive look! The reception area has wonderful, & helpful staff, smiles always & caring The PA is thorough, friendly, & professional. ...
