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.

Professional Surgeon
Dr. Helen Krontiras is a highly professional and compassionate surgeon who took the time to thoroughly discuss the surgery with my wife and I, and even checked in on my wife during recovery. Her care and attention had a very positive impact. Dr. Helen Krontiras is an extremely professional surgeon with a compassionate disposition.

Disinterested in her patients and relies far too much on residents. Her PR effort outshines her abilities

You have to wait a long, long time in the waiting room - usually 1 hour after your appointment time. She does not explain all the horrors of a mastectomy - and she really should. I would never had gone through it if she had been honest with me.

Should of sent this a long time ago but did not know this was available. Dr. Krontiras is a very professional,caring,awesome doctor and surgeon. I was diagnosed in 2009 with Breast Cancer and had my left breast removed. Dr. Krontiras has seen me every year since then and I was released last year because I made my 5 year mark. I am looking forward to my 6th. With God, Dr. Krontiras, Dr. Forero I am alive today and cancer free. I love you Dr. Krontiras
