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.

Rude Doctor
Never met a Dr with such a horrible attitude. Very condescending and makes unnecessary comments. Dont understand how she’s a Doctor for children. Would never take my child back to her.

This doctor has been rude and condescending to us on more than one occasion. She has made statements that a visit to the ER in the morning for hysterical, inconsolable crying by my toddler was Unnecessary. "Well I knew I was here this weekend" not at 2am in the morning, you weren't! And if you don't agree that abdominal pain for several days is not a walk-in issue, don't make the patient & family feel bad about bringing their ill child into your office who is seeking help, and make it sound like you're doing them a favor to see them even though it's not a "walk-in" issue. There is no reason to have attitude like that as soon as people walk in the door.

If giving no stars were an option, you wouldn’t see a single star here. I understand that doctors now have to focus on filling in all the blanks on their computers, and I was happy to forgive the lack of eye contact or human warmth until the following: Dr. P asked me if I had a vaginal birth. I answered, with a smile and a laugh “Oh yes, I DEFINITELY did.” (My daughter is 4 months old - I remember it well.) She asked me the birthweight. I went to check my notes. (I couldn’t remember if it was 6.7 lbs or 6.9 lbs.) She asked me if my daughter had some kind of photo-something test at birth. “I’m sorry, I’m not sure,” I said. With a straight face and a disapproving tone she said, “Was she adopted?” I was so stunned and offended I didn’t quite know what to say. “No,” I finally answered. She continued to go through her questions. Five minutes later she says, without looking at me, “I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable.” All I could manage was, “Perhaps it will pass.” Never again.

We had a terrible experience with Dr. Papadopoulos.Rough, not considered, bad bedside manners, abrupt.Insulted my daughter-in-lawwith a terrible statement, didn’t give any special answer to any of our questions.The vaccinations were given to the infant like it was a stuffed toy not a real baby . The rooms are cold and so uncomfortable.How this person can practice for so many years?!WOULD NEVER recommend her to anyone!

Not the MOST helpful/considerate in the office. My brother had a similar uneasy experience with his private. Definitely go to ANY other doctor in this office because the others are phenomenal. Dr. Pap is rude and mocked my being concerned and laughed at my questions and was short in her answers. She was confident in my diagnosis that skin condition was just "the anatomy of the skin". Even I knew better and went to a dermatologist and received a true diagnosis (wasn't JUST the anatomy)!

My 8 year old son had a routine annual physical with Dr. Papadopoulos in March of 2018. During the exam, she forcibly retracted my uncircumcised son’s foreskin, thereby tearing it and hurting him. She said that uncircumcised foreskin should be fully retractable by this age and that since it is not able to be retracted fully, it isn’t getting cleaned properly. My son complained that it was painful to walk and his urination gave him a stinging pain for days after the exam.

Wait times are ridiculous (90 min for a visit is pretty unacceptable for small children), office staff is a mess and welcome to the 21st century where email and electronic documents are useful tools. They will charge you for everything (at $1 per page) and there is nothing all that great there to make up for all of the negative. PS. no working knowledge of learning disabilities
