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.

Awesome doctor
Dr. Tsomos is a caring doctor that combines her medical knowledge with empathy. She ensures you that she is listening to you and takes the time to explain the diagnoses and treatments necessary. I would highly recommend her, she is worth the wait.

Unprofessional staff
I haven't been to this doctor, but wouldn't after the experience I just had with the front of office staff. If Dr. Tsomos actually cared about her patients, she would clean up her front of house, or give them some training in how to speak to people.

Doctor fine, office not so much
Last time I saw the doctor she wanted me back in 3 months. At the front desk nobody was there so no appointment. I phoned them yesterday and was told by answering service nobody there to make the appointments.

Staffing problem – Dec 01, 2022
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Tsomos?
Dr. Tsomos was understanding and communicated efficiently and clearly, but her office is lacking both professionalism and empathy. The week of my dad’s new patient appointment, they cancelled with no dates offered to reschedule. Nine days after his cancelled appointment, he had an urgent endocrinologic issue for which I was told he could be squeezed in a month later. When I reiterated the urgency of the situation, I was given attitude about how difficult it is to get a new patient appointment. You’re the one who put us in this situation when YOU cancelled his appointment. And, yes, I do know how difficult it is to get a new patient appointment. Thanks.
