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.

Condescending and unknowledgeable
I have Achilles tendonosis from antibiotics. It can cause fluoroquinalone toxicity, leading to degeneration of collagen in the Achilles.I went to see Pappas & told him about this. He told me to do x rays even though I told him this has absolutely nothing to do with my bones. He lectured me about how patients come in saying they have an issue and that most times, they are wrong about it and he proves there’s something else wrong. Condescending/disrespectful of those advocating for their health. I did the x-rays…nothing wrong, but he of course didn’t admit that maybe I DID know what I was talking about.He did an exam and diagnosed me with tendinitis. Yep, that’s what I told you I came in here for (except it’s tendonosis). He suggested steroids or NSAIDS, both of which are fluoridated. I told him that those with this toxicity have to avoid ALL fluoridated drugs, & he lectured me about how I’m wrong about that too. Dangerous advice.He has no idea about this & is arrogant on top of it.

Dr. Pappas is great. I stepped on a piece of glass that got stuck in my foot and he took it out with ease. He didn't even have to numb it. Thanks Dr. Pappas!

Dr. Pappas is great. I had Achilles tendinitis for months before I saw him. He told me about open backed shoes, ibuprofen, and prescribed me some physical therapy. After 5 weeks I feel like my old self again. Highly recommend

I visited Dr. Pappas with one goal in mind which I discussed with him and his x-ray technicians. They did not comply. They took far too many x-rays that were not necessary and sold me inexpensive heel pads for twice what they cost online. I don't feel he listened to me and definitely didn't solve my problem.

I would highly recommend Dr. Pappas for any type of foot care. After seeing a local doctor for years for my painful foot, which he called “a mystery,” I tried Dr. Pappas. He thoroughly diagnosed my foot problem, operated, and corrected my issue. A year after my surgery, I am pain free and so very grateful to Dr. Pappas for truly giving me my life back!

Great surgeon. I've been dealing with pain in my great toe joint for years and he fixed it by shaving off the arthritis. Great Doc who I'd definitely recommend.

Dr. Pappas was great and helped me with my plantar fasciitis. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional during my visits/exams. He took the time to explain everything with me in detail and I could tell he knows what he is talking about. My wife referred me to him as she had gone to him for another issue. She was spot on with everything she said. Now if we talk to any of our friends who are having issues, we always refer Dr. Pappas to our friends and family. I’d give him more stars if I could.

My experience with Dr. Pappas was EXCELLENT! I had 2 fractures on my left foot and needed surgery but Workmans Comp did not want to cover it so Dr. Pappas recommended a Bone Stimulator and got my fractures healed! The team attention was AWESOME as well!!! Your attitude towards your medical necessity determines how you're treated!

I arrived 30 minutes early to fill out new patient paperwork. I waited another 45 minutes after my appt time. “Will” was very professional and nice. Had to wait some more to be taken back for X-rays and then back to exam room. Dr Pappas was lacking in his bed-side manner and I had the impression that he was less than interested in truly educating me on my ailment. I was given a verbal set of instructions and offered a cortisone shot. Just pretty cut and dry. 2 1/2 hours

doctor does not answer patient questions very well. His attitude is poor. Makes patients feel like a bother. Maybe he needs to find a job he likes and deal with people he has more respect for because clearly he does not in his current situation.

I saw doctor Pappas last week for a pretty bad work related injury. My wife and I thought he was great with what he was presented with. He gave us our options along with pros and cons of each. He is soft spoken, so I can see how some people get turned off. He's also very young which people might not like. Personally, I like that he's young, sharp, tons of schooling under his belt and a few years of experience. I'm giving him five stars because we thought he was great.

Dr Pappas treated my teenage daughter for her infected in-grown toenail. She was very nervous and asked a lot of questions. He answered them all and made her feel comfortable and confident in what he was doing. Will definitely return if needed and recommend him.

Had my 1st and last appointment with Dr Pappas today. I was told I have tendonitis and some blah blah blah tendon disease and sometimes that just happens. When asked about the possibility of medication causing this he said adamantly no no no not in my experience but there's alot we don't know. Contradictory. Much research on the medications I mentioned have tons of information regarding tendon damage as a side effect. SO my advise to Dr Pappas maybe he needs to research and gain some experience.
