Dr. Yannopoulos – Testimonials
Dr. Yannopoulos and his nurse/medical assistant, Diana, are amazing. Very to the point, empathetic, and accommodating with appointments and follow ups. Surgery went great, second surgery coming up.
Hopefully my back will get stronger with therapy
Helpful, considerate, patient
Excellent treatment and advice. Thank you.
I had ACDF surgery a year ago. Dr Yannopoulos did a great job and has been very attentive on following up with regular checks after the surgery. I am very happy with the outcome - both physically and aesthetically.
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.
