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.

Terrible
I went in for consultation which went great. Zannis heard my areas of concern and told me he COULD fix it with augmentation and would absolutely need a lift with the lollipop scar. I have birthed three huge boys so my boobs were deflated balloons. I just wanted the skin that was there to have form and make a boob. I didn’t care how he did it or how big just that it wasn’t saggy skin laying there. Surgery day comes they talk to my friend who drove me while I was still under that due to the size the life wasn’t needed. When taking me to the car they tell me the same thing. Less than two months after my boobs are sagger than before and the cuts he did are so jagged they look terrible. When confronted he lied said I was wrong and of course since he’s the doc his word is final which is gross. I recorded the last appointment and have pictures to prove what I’m saying is not a lie. I wish I had more room to write but that’s the short version. Don’t ever go here.

Breast surgery
Dr. Zannis did beautiful work on my breast augmentation. I wasn’t sure at 52 years of age how it would look. But I am so happy with Dr. Zannis beautiful work.

Bambi. She’s who I needed to start looking refreshed, feeling comfortable, and seeing myself how I used to see myself before my sun damage and age started showing. She makes her job seem effortless, and the entire time she is painlessly changing my life for the better! She is unbelievably knowledgeable and experienced, and her excitement for helping me is reassuring and makes me feel so relaxed (hard to do with needles coming at my face and neck. See what I’m saying?). I learn SO MUCH about my skin and different ways I can maintain and improve it. She goes out of her way to help me, even if it’s not with a procedure (I’m new to the area, and she makes great referrals). It was by luck that I found her, and while I’d love to keep her as my favorite secret in New Bern, that’s not fair to the other people whose lives she could be improving! Bambi’s gonna get me married, despite my trash personality!

Best doctor experience I ever had. Travelled from out of town for a breast procedure and it was smooth and went great. Doctor was very kind and a true expert. Staff were awesome! Telling my friends to go there. You wont regret it!

I was not happy with the results from the initial surgery. The right implant fell out of the pocket. He charged me to repair it then the right areola was so high it would show in my bathing suit top and in my sports bra. He charged me to alter it but it still was too high. I had to go to a surgeon in Greenville to have it fixed.

Originally I gave Zannis a 5 star review. They were friendly and answered all of my questions. Their post surgery care however has been atrocious and has caused me endless needless suffering. I developed sores along the stomach incision line that would not heal and my left breast look out of place. Instead of investigating the wounds further Dr. Zannis told me that I was a "slow healer." I sought help at two other doctors and they told me Dr. Zannis had to take care of me and they wouldn't see me. Four months later, I still had open wounds and went in for a revision. Once again sores developed. This time they spread beyond the incision line. I was still told this was normal and I was a slow healer. Additionally, my left breast revision popped and looks worse than it did initially. I eventually found someone that would help and have since been referred to two specialty clinics. Both clinics were appalled at the lack of treatment he provided us. He never referred us to greater c

I went to Dr. Zannis after several consultations in Eastern North Carolina. He was very kind, patient and answered all my questions. My mastopexy and augmentation surgery was a breeze and my recovery was pain free. He and his staff well exceeded my expectations. I absolutely love my results! Thank you Dr. Zannis for restoring my self-confidence.

I scheduled a procedure after being told I could meet the MD and have the procedure the same day. I would not have scheduled if I had been told the truth (Dr Zannis told me in the consultation, "this is NEVER done") My problem is I live in another country. The offered date 3 weeks later is too late. Waste of time and money. They refused to refund after making this mistake. Not a company to do business with.
