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.

I would highly recommend Dr. Komninakas, I had my right knee replaced. He is very nice to talk to and he explains things on a patient level. The office staff is also very nice and helpful.

Knee replacement
It is hard to find a doctor that is professional and will spend time with you and still make you feel comfortable. Dr. Komninakas has done my shoulder surgery, replaced both of my hips, done my carnal tunnel surgery and recently my knee replacement. I wouldn't even think of going to another doctor. He is TOPS in my book.

He's very soothing and calming as he explains things. He's emphathetic and really listens. These are qualities that are, sadly, hard to find in many doctors today. He works out of two locations and his staff are helpful and proactive, another set of qualities that are almost long gone in many doctors offices today. Besides all that, I really just love Dr. Komninakas. He's wonderful and I am so glad that he's my doctor.

My husband and I have both had positive experiences with Dr Komninakas. My husband had carpal tunnel surgery in both hands (surgeries done separately) with great results. I had a knee replacement done. The antibiotic that I needed for future dental appts because of the knee replacement, was causing severe allergic reactions and he listened carefully to my complaints and offered an alternate medication which has been a big improvement. The office is well staffed, with short wait times to be seen

I was treated in a very unprofessional matter, 4 days before my surgical procedure which was scheduled 5 weeks in advance, I received a phone call stating, "the physicians assistant will not make it from vacation in time to perform the procedure" and that I would have to pick a different day, I cannot believe they would treat a patient like that. They do not take consideration that not only I but my wife had to take time off of work in advance to them extending a vacation is more important.

I have never met another doctor who even comes close to Dr. Komninakas as far as skill, patient friendliness. I had 2 other doctors tell me they could not replace my knees because I was too heavy for the surgery. Dr. Komninakas assured me he could and would replace both my knees, and he did...Perfectly!!! Thank You Doctor Komninakas!
