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.

Dr. Bambakidis is a very professional caring physician. He took the time to listen to my concerns, spent much time putting me thru a series of neuro testing in the office and provided me with a diagnosis and treatment plan. He is a true Caregiver.

Dr. Bambakidis is the most caring doctor I have ever met in my life. My husband was 42 years and had a massive stroke. I was lucky enough to have this man as his doctor. He gave me all the time I needed. He went above and beyond any doctor I have ever had. So please if he is running behind on appointments it’s because he does not rush you out. He listens and I mean really listens to you. Wish we had more Doctors like him.I have and will continue to recommend this man to anyone. My Daughter as also gone to her for her migraines. Thank You Doctor Bambakidis please don’t change!

My mother sufferers from dementia.
This terrible excuse for a physician told my mother who has definite dementia that she doesn’t and that her and my father should never say the word dementia in their home. There are times that my mother doesn’t know me and she thinks that my father who she’s been married to for 54 years is her new boyfriend. I’m a nurse and have some knowledge of the condition. For him to tell my parents this without testing and thorough evaluation, is despicable!

Horrible “care”
My experience with this doctor was horrendous. I’ve been suffering with migraines, a constant feeling of motion sickness, nausea and more, for decades. It became unbearable in the spring of 2019. I was barely functioning. After seeing me only two times Dr. Bambakidos proclaimed that I was his second most difficult patient. He rambled off a list of medications asking me to choose one that o thought I hadn’t taken and could try! Here’s the absolute worst comment - he said that “people like you usually consider suicide”. I was in total disbelief that this neurologist could even say that to a patient. I had to insist on a brain MRI. To this day, I NEVER received a call from him or his staff telling me of my results, even after at least three calls from me. I am still struggling but have found that I have continued strength to find an answer and will not be gaslighted by another doctor like him!! If I don’t advocate for myself, who will.

his old fashioned thinking in todays technology world mix beautifully and he listens to me and allows me to be a part of my treatment. I wouldn't be where I am today without his guidance and help and most importantly communication with me, his staff and my other doctors.

He yawned in my face at least 6 times during my appointment and mumbled the whole time. I asked for a refill on a prescription and he sent in a prescription for the wrong medication. My last 3 appointments were like this. Wont be going ack
