Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very personable and answered all my questions. Looking forward to feeling better after surgery.

Very happy with my visit
I was pleased with Dr. T’s down to earth and friendly demeanor. I was also impressed that he did not have to ask detailed questions about my condition but had obviously reviewed my file which means I didn’t waste his time, nor did he waste mine. Very important in a busy office like his. His diagnosis and recommendation thwarted exactly with what I felt would be the correct approach but I needed that reassurance from a professional which he provided.Bill-Maine

Professional and Caring
Dr. Tony took time to carefully explain my options, never sugar-coating the difficulty of the post-surgery recovery. I feel like he steered me towards the best decision for my situation, without telling me what I should do. He is kind and professional.

Dr. Tsismenakis is a great Dr. He's very thorough.
Telehealth
Dr.Tsismenakis always puts the health and recovery of his patients first. He showed me the x-ray of my hip replacement so I could see what he's checking for. He's very concerned to make sure if you have any questions, that he answers them to the fullest. He's great.
