My experience couldn’t have been any better. He is very thorough, looks over every result, gathers the information and does not rush you out the door. Each appointment was at least 45 min from start to finish. The procedure was a success and couldn’t have had a better recommendation. Appointments are hard to get into, but honestly he is totally worth the wait!

The Healthcare team from the front desk to the Medical Assistant. And finally meeting with Dr Papasavas. I have never been to an appointment where I was so at ease. Speaking with Dr Papasavas,I felt comfortable he was easy to talk with, he definitely put all my anxiety I had before my appointment at ease.
