Dr. Efstathios Papavassiliou, MD

He works for the best outcome after making a precise surgical plan. The rest is up to me as the patient. He is honest and shows you what a future without surgery would be like.Some reviews mention a GOD complex. Nothing wrong with that….

Dr. Papavassiliou has ruined my mother’s back. She had her first surgery 2 years ago and then Dr. Papavassiliou yelled at her during her first follow up when x-rays showed a complication with one of the screws that his robot put in her back. My mother then had a second surgery where he put more hard ware in her body that resulted in damaged nerves in her bladder and eventually caused her condition to deteriorate even further. Not to mention she woke up during the surgery multiple times from not getting an adequate amount of anesthesia. Throughout this horrible process, his NP Jan is an actual disgrace to the NP medical profession due to her complete disregard for patients and utter rudeness for no reason at all. She has hung up on my mother countless times and should be ashamed of her actions and how she treats sometimes desperate patients who are in severe pain. No matter how desperate you are or a loved one is, it is not worth it to supply business to this surgeon.

He was the most arrogant surgeon I’ve ever met. I gave him the benefit of doubt and he did laminectomy on me. I was in severe pain after and was left in recovery room with no nurse call button overnight. Six month of pt, an mri and many more injections which he said to do. My spine was unstable and nerves crushed. I had to have a second surgery done elsewhere to repair the damage He was not a nice man and I truly suffered.

Visited Dr. Papavassiliou for a consult after an x-ray indicted a Chiropractor sheared the screw heads off implanted L5-6 rods. The Dr that did the initial surgery was a very good friend from BI in Milton but died from a sudden heart attack forcing me to seek help elsewhere. Dr P stated that my friend used hardware that was unnecessary and too light, and then said he'd use heavier hardware, which contradicted his statement made moments earlier. He intimated that my friend was wrong and that he knew better. Anyone that trashes a prior provider and contradicts themselves in the same breath means you need to run away and not look back!

The Doctor was thorough and considered my needs in his approach to my treatment. VERY professional and took the time to answer all of my questions. I felt confident with him as my surgeon and my results were excellent.

Amazon doctor and person. He operated on my sons and he no longer feels pain and can exercise as he pleases. Highly recommend

profession I would not be here today. I am forever grateful he handled my traumatic surgery. He is one and a million!

Very educated and well mannered doctor. I visited him because I had sharp pain in my legs and could barely walk and he helped me gain strength in my legs and walk again. I owe so much to the doctor and highly recommend him.

Operated on my daughter's back and was very nice and explained the procedure very well. He is very professional and knows what he is doing!

Saved me. No exaggeration.

Thorough exam including images discussed with me, reviewed my symptoms and concerns about healing and recovery. Returned me to function after being bed-bound for 3 months. Excellent surgeon, helpful staff.

Dr Papavassiliou is a great doctor. He looked at my MRI and explained how it was causing my leg pain. He got me into surgery in a timely manner and the pain was fixed. He is professional and answered all my questions. When I called the office with more questions they were also answered right away. He is the best of the best.

When you visit a neurosurgeon usually its because you are injured to the point where your life has been seriously altered. I had hope when I first made scheduled the appointment. I left with no hope and no help. I have typical severe herniated disc with arm pain and ended up going elsewhere. No follow up tests ordered, no treatment offered whatsoever and serious display of unprofessionalism.

During my visit with Dr. Papavassiliou and upon leaving my appointment I have never, ever felt that level of discouragement, disappointment and confusion. His demeanor was unfriendly and cold, but that I can look past. I live in chronic pain and he minimized it and basically told me live with it or take pain medication every day. Told me my back is fine (I have two herniated disks, arthritis and narrowing of spinal canal) It’s not fine. He did not go over MRI with me. Completely unacceptable.

Never even bothered to look at my MRI clearly. Extremely unprofessional, disgusting attitude when you ask any quesions, calls you crazy if you insist on ahowing him your mri report. Total waste of a day, and he shouldnt practice if be doesnt want to belp or even guide you in tbe right direction. I left there highly upset and it takes alot to set me off. His mannerism is atrocious. Never stepping foot there again.

I saw Dr. Papavassiliou for a second opinion. He not only agreed with the first opinion but was able to schedule me for surgery within a week of seeing him. Surgery was totally sucessful and horrible, stabbing neck and back pain was eleviated.

I am terminally ill with cancer, and saw Dr. Papavassiliou because of a fractured vertebra first diagnosed in October. I cannot even express how rudely I was treated by him. I was so appalled by his lack of professionalism that I told him off (and it takes A LOT to get me angry!) I am switching doctors and WILL NOT be seeing him again.

The consultation with Dr. Papavassiliou went totally awry... Looks like he did not read the referral (and didn't know the reason for referral) nor looked at Medical record. As it became apparent during the visit, he became defensive and rude... I have high-deductible plan, and pretty much paid fr this consultation out of pocket. I am totally disappointed as no question was answered, and had to pay for rather bad experience... I cannot say how good is Dr. Papavassiliou as a surgeon...

Left his office with unanswered Questions.Not sure if he wanted to help me by the way he brushed me off

Dr Papavassiliou was friendly and polite. My appointment was not rushed and I feel he spend an average amount of time with me during my appointment.
