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.

Dr D was in the first year attending but after a couple of years he got rude and don't listen. His line is I fix you or you will not die. He can't speak fluent german like it is advertised on the side. The staff is not clean and don't know what the most time to do.Ypu have to call 6 to 7 times the office to get an answer or a call back Refills are never on time or missing at all.. I don't like to called babe all the time. The last time I had a very incompetent nurse who was rude as he'll and only concern not to get yelled from the doctor. I didn't want to go back and said I will file a complaint. I got a letter from them afterwards to find a different doctor. I wouldn't recommend that doctor to no one. Run as fast as you can

Great personality but does the Minimum
I enjoyed his personality very much, but having read so much on Hashimoto's and how important your Hormones being balanced are and cholesterol rising due to thyroid meds Not getting into your cells and also 10x Higher risk of Lupus he should have Ordered me: Choleserol test. Female hormone test. Lupus test. He ordered me an Ultrasound and T3 and T4. I guess he wants me to come in 30x until I get the tests I want! Another thing I found very deceptive is to book my 2nd appointment for a date where he knew he was going to be out of the country for almost a month and you receive an Automated call saying they had to change your appt and you have to re-book with a ARNP. Just be HONEST with patients don't make us have to call your office 3x to leave messages for your staff to call me back and then tell me I have to wait a month for a New appt with you. I did Not book a 2nd appt. with him, Instead I booked an Appt with a Functional Medicine Dr in Naples.

Doctor is checked out
They changed my medication against my wishes for hypothyroidism. Now I am falling asleep all of the time. I have only seen the doctor by telemedicine. Before that, I had to endure seeing his awful PA, who I got in a fight with. I can read medical journals, which he did not like. I presented evidence why my medication should not be changed but he totally dismissed me

At first I liked him. But after my thyroid was removed he never saw me in person it was all telmed. He has not been in office for over a year. That is no way to handle a practice. 8 months AFTER my surgery he never saw me. He adjusted my meds just by looking at blood tests. He kept pushing us to get the vaccine, and on the telmed which lasted 3-5 minutes he mainly talked about the vaccine and not my thyroid. He was deathly afraid of getting covid, so he refused to come into the office. That is not the kind of dr. I can put my trust in any longer. He is a friendly man, and yet, there were times I felt uncertain. My husband was always with me at the office and on the telmed. The last time we talked he called us imbeciles for not wanting the vaccine. NOT HIS BUSINESS. DO THE RESEARCH DR.

I would never refer anybody that has a thyroid problem or a glucose problem to this doctor. When he couldn’t find something wrong with my thyroid he decided he would put me through extensive glucose testing without evidence that the A1C or glucose readings were suspect. My insurance is a great insurance and will pay for just about anything. With this in mind he was able to get extra procedural tests completed and receive the booking credits for the year end bonuses.

This dr and I use the title lightly is the worst I have ever had to endure. He was dismissive and unconcerned about my condition. He told me to “go home your fine”, my antibodies where off the charts attacking my thyroid and he didn’t care. Saying don’t worry it will die and we will just up your thyroid meds. My husband was in the office with me so he heard everything and saw how rude he was to me.

I have been going to Dr. Drimoussis for three or four years now. When I first walked into Dr. Drimoussis office I was a mess, my A1C was through the roof, I was tired all the time, I had developed Diabetic Retinopothy and Neuropothy in my feet and hands. Dr. Drimoussis had me come into the office every week until he got my numbers under control. I have seen several Endo doctors over the years and Dr. D is the absolute best. He tells it like it is and I need that kind of guidance. Thank You Dr. D and to your entire staff. I appreciate you care.

Been going to this doctor for 10 years. Recently complained to office manager about continuing error in refill prescription for insulin. Have now been told not to come back. Letter said issue had been discussed with me but no one ever discussed it with me, certainly Dr. D did not discuss. Guess one is not allowed to complain. Time to find a new doctor.

The first couple times I went to hear Dr. Drimmousis he seemed competent, caring and had a good bedside manner. He also promised me never have to wait in his office. Jump forward about a year and everything has changed. He kept me waiting for over an hour and it seems like he does not like Mondays as every time I had a Monday appointment it got canceled or rescheduled. His bedside manner also became atrocious. I don’t know what happened to him in this period of time but it must’ve been something pretty drastic.I would not recommend him.

I went in to see this doctor with legitimate concerns. He was dismissive and condescending, treating me like an elderly, moronic, hypochondriac. My daughter, who is a PhD professor who teaches upper level class men who are going into medicine was also answered in a dismissive, condescending manner. I will not even return for my bloodwork follow-up. I saw my primary care physician today, who by the way is a female and got answers and suggestions for remedies to all of my concerns.

Dr. was running late at 9 AM. Dr. would not take time to allow or answer questions, kept interrupting, saying "I fix you" Argued with patient about patients prior board certified MD and his abilities. Dr. was very abrupt and in a hurry. Staff interrupted my appointment 4 different times in the short amount of time provided. I would not recommend nor would I go back to see Dr.

I have attended with many endocrinologists but Dr. Drimoussis has been the best of all since the first visit made that same day a specialist attended me without an appointment and was very diligent and professional. The other doctors have to learn from him.
