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 Gianaris corrected my disc injury in 2008 and had immediate relief. Still pain free to this day 13 years later without any medications or further medical attention.

I thought he was a very good doctor. However I have a follow up appt with him tomorrow due to my boss being off this week and I can't reach him to cancel my appt. The after hours girl WILL NOT take a message but I can't have my phone at work and his hours are exactly mine! I got an email or text from him (I've received SO many different ways of them reminding me of this appt and now can't remember if it was a text or email) I put NO that I couldn't make it and I got yet an one saying I hav app

Dr. Gianaris is an excellent surgeon! He examined my father and confirmed that a case of Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus was the diagnosis. Dr. Gianaris explained the risk thouroughly due to the severe brain damage, performed a VP shunt and the results were unbelievable! Thank you Dr. Gianaris for taking the chance and saving my father's life! We are now at 60% recovery just two months after surgery and off the terminal list.

From my experience dr. Generis is pretty much a genius. He did my spine surgery to perfection, if I were to need surgery in the future I wouldn't let any Dr other than dr. Generis do my surgery. He went beyond the call of duty. There were some issues with his office staff but I think by now they have been cleared up.
