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.

Highly recommend
My experience couldn’t have been any better. He is very thorough, looks over every result, gathers the information and does not rush you out the door. Each appointment was at least 45 min from start to finish. The procedure was a success and couldn’t have had a better recommendation. Appointments are hard to get into, but honestly he is totally worth the wait!

The best bedside manner in providers
I like his professionalism, mannerisms, and courteous s demeanor. He has always had patience with me and answered my questions in terms that I could understand. I have and will continue to refer him to many more people.

I had weight loss surgery with Dr. Papasavas in 2008. I have lost all the weight and continue to keep my weight off all of these years later. Dr. Papasavas is top notch and very charismatic and explains the procedure and expectations in great detail.

Waited two months for Appt, took day off of work & drove an hour to get there. Once I got there I was told my appointment had been cancelled & someone called me yesterday, I was so confused & I never received a call from anyone to cancel my appointment. When I asked what number they called to cancel I was told "I have actual patients to take care of and will not be helping you." No Explanation. Staff is extremely rude!

I met with Dr. Papasavas today concerning a possible hernia. I found him to be extremely professional, he did not rush me, he was very caring and put me at ease immediately. He explained my situation to my complete satisfaction.

Dr.Papasavas is the best of the best. I am going on 2yrs since I had my sleeve, it was the best decision I made. He took time to explain everything to me before surgery and after. I will always be grateful.

I’ve seen Dr. Papasavis very often since 2013 for different things concerning my sleeve and now scheduled for the linx surgery with him, he goes above and beyond for my health care! However in the Glastonbury office one receptionist is always very rude and not sympathetic especially over the telephone no empathy or sympathy whatsoever almost as if your bugging her. I found myself so upset with her on several occasions that I was tempted to go over to the office and file a grievance.

I was referred to Dr. Papasavas more than 5 years ago by my GI when I was diagnosed with gastropaeresus. Dr. Papasavas implanted a gastric stimulator (Enterra device). It changed my life. Dr. Papasavas is always attentive and patient. He answers all questions in a way that is understandable. He willingly discusses all treatment options and lets the patient make an informed decision. Dr. Papasavas gave me my life back, and I would highly recommend him to everyone.

Dr. Papasavas is wonderful. His pre-op requirements are very strict. This is where I have the problem. Disorganized and staff is rude. I'm fed up and I have gone else where's for my surgery. Watch what you say because it will halt your progress.
