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.

He is very caring and experienced, his staff make you feel at home. I thank him and his staff for the wonderful experience of feeling whole again

AMAZING
I had what they call a mommy makeover done which included liposuction, breast lift and tummy tuck and at this stage of my life I didn’t think it was possible to feel good about myself. Well Dr. Zavitsanos and the surgical staff as well as the office staff made that possible and with each follow up I gain more confidence in myself. He truly is someone who takes pride in what he does and pays attention to detail. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping restore something in myself that I thought I would never get back.

I have my life back! No pain!
Dr. Z and his entire staff was amazing. From setting up my first appointment to helping with insurance approval. He took time explaining my procedures and what to expect. He was available at all hours to answer any concerns I had post surgery. Dr. Z listened to me and made me feel like his only patient. My results are incredible. I had surgery 5 months ago and I am still seeing my body change, for the better! I have no more pain in my back or shoulders. I feel more confident and can find clothing to fit my body! He is an artist! 100% would recommend him!

I went for several consults to 3 plastic surgeons and chose Dr Zavitsanos for his kindness, skill and taking his time listening to me. I was so ecstatic on how excellent my results were !!! His office staff are all so nice and accommodating! Going back to him again for another procedure.

Dr. Zavitsanos is one of the kindest, most caring doctors I have ever met. He performed a rhinoplasty on me in conjunction with another doctor performing a septoplasty. He checked in on me many times and went above and beyond in numerous situations. He genuinely cares about his patients, the results (which are beyond amazing) and your recovery. I could not be happier with my choice.

Dr. Zavitsanos is awesome, and his staff is simply the best. I had a breast reduction and was quite concerned about the whole procedure. Most of my concerns were answered and put at ease on the day of consultation itself. The day of the surgery each and everyone in the surgical center was just so nice, comforting and extremely professional. My surgery went without any hiccups and follow up appointments have been smooth. Overall, I had an amazing experience right from consultation to surgery. I am extremely pleased with the results and if ever need or opt for any other procedure, Dr Zavitsanos will be my first choice.

I am a patient of Dr.Zavitsanos, I was referred to him from my breast surgeon after being diagnosed with breast cancer. I had a double mastectomy with reconstruction during chemotherapy and radiation. The staff there went above and beyond all expectations, they walk you threw each step and make you feel at ease especially during such a stressful time. Dr Zavitsanos is wonderful I couldn’t have asked for a better result, he was able to reconstruct my nipples for me also even though having radiation on the left breast. He does exceptional work and I am very grateful to him and to all his staff for everything they have done.

I'm a 2 time breast cancer survivor and Dr. Zavitsanos did my reconstruction surgery after a bilateral mastectomy. He is an exceptional doctor who cares and takes the time to help you understand what needs to be done. He is kind and puts you at ease. I was so scared but he talked with me the whole time during office appointments and pre-surgery to calm me. He even checked on me when he went on vacation, calling me and giving me his cell number so I could contact him if I needed to even though there was a doctor on call. His office staff are wonderful! Always making me feel safe and knowing I could call at any time. He even removed basal cell from my arm. It has been a long 2 years of surgeries and recovery, and I could not have been in better hands!

Don't bother making an appointment. They just called me to cancel mine because the Dr. had "another appointment". We have had this appointment scheduled for weeks. Incredibly unaccommodating over the phone when attempting to reschedule. There are other doctors. This was an urgent appointment that required surgery for me. Unbelievably offensive. I have notified my PCP and HCP not to recommend to others in my network.

I love Dr. Z! I'm a breast cancer patient. I had 2 tumors in 1 breast, but the other breast was fine. For various reasons, I decided against a bilateral mastectomy but my concern was..would the reconstructed breast look enough like the healthy breast? I make my living as an actress and model, so symmetry was crucial. Dr. Z totally understood about all of this, and was even more concerned about what I would look like than I was! The results are amazing!! I cannot say enough good things!!!

He is an amazing doctor! Very caring about his patients and full of compassion. His work is the best around would use him and no one else. I love the work he has done on me after breast cancer surgery. Everyone should use him.He calls you back instantly after hours if you have a problem. He has even met me after hours on a weekend at his office. He answers my questions whenever i need more information.
