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.

Great experience! Dr. George saved my dad’s life. He had a plan, consulted with my dad’s cardiologist, and was able to fix his aortic dissection and a leaky valve. It was a 9 hour surgery and everything was handled so well. I would recommend him without hesitation.

I was very reluctant to have open heart surgery because I know people who have had bad experiences with it. Dr Arnaoutakis made all that change. He is skilled caring and and an amazing surgeon.

I would like to express my gratitude to Dr. Arnaoutakis and his team for everything they did for my husband who was in a need of heart surgery. I would highly recommend Dr. Arnaoutakis. He was always available to us and dedicated his time to us, even after work hours. He was always professional, respectful and caring. He saved my husband's life and we will forever be thankful.

Dr. George Arnaoutakis, from the moment I met him, I liked him. he came across as a very intelligent, confident and compassionate surgeon. Recommended to me by a respected cardiologist at Shands Hospital. Dr George carefully & with sincere interest in my health, watched over me during my entire stay in the ICU. Open heart surgery is a very traumatic thing to say the least. If you are as concerned as I was, then this Dr is the Dr you want. I'd trust him to operate on any of my family or friends.
