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.

No longer with practice.

What a quack. Did one glucose test, no A1C, and diagnosed me with diabetes - didn't even take another to measure my blood over a period of time, which I found out later is the usual process. Thank goodness there are good doctors out there. Dr. Paslidis is not one of them.

Fee gauging! Basic visit was more like the fee for surgical prep!

Very Former Patient in Sedona, AZ – Dec 16, 2018

I'm giving one star only because there's no way to give "0" stars. I went to Dr Paslidis for a Wellness exam, which he then "bait and switched" to a baseline intake exam. In other words, he got paid but I didn't get a health checkup. I then went to him for a colonoscopy. He found 3 polyps but only removed 1...and said he'd like to do another operation in a few months to get the other two. I've talked to several other gastroenterologists who universally said they'd never heard of anything th

Won't go back!!! in Sedona, AZ – Nov 12, 2018
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Paslidis?
He was my doctor for three years and never again. I have Fibromyalgia and a few other things. He would never treat my Fibro and doesn't care.. My first visit i was told 'I don't do pain meds. If you want to go doctor shopping like the rest of the drug addicts go right a head." He made me feel an inch tall and intimadated me into staying as i felt if i left i was admitting i was a drug addict. I am not. I stayed and have lost my SSI/Dis now because the last review he said i was fine. Thanks Doc.

Lost everything in Sedona, AZ – Sep 03, 2018
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Paslidis?
On 2 different occasions, I called when they were open & left a brief, courteous message & my phone #, asking for an appt as a new patient. My land line does not garble messages. I have a chronic illness & really NEED a local doctor. My calls were NEVER returned--this last time, after 2 days of waiting! I was once a drs' receptionist & always returned calls promptly & politely. Now as a respected professional who teaches notable drs. across the USA, I'd like an explanation. Made me feel awful.

Does not have the integrity or qualities of a concerned physician when it comes to current patients. If you need help, find a better primary.

I offer this review as a patient, the wife of a patient, and as a Registered Nurse (RN). Dr. Paslidis (Dr. Nick to his patients) is an excellent communicator, teacher, clinician, and diagnostician. A passion for excellence, he leaves no stone unturned in his meticulous review of past medical records and current test results. An active listener, Dr. Paslidis takes the time to understand the concerns and explain his assessment, often drawing diagrams to teach and inform the patient.

Great Doctor. Brilliant education (Harvard) and actually spends time with and listens to patients. Not the typical assembly line experience!
