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 was my assigned former PCP, never returned my calls when attempting to schedule a physical. Never even meet the guy. His front staff had no idea what they were doing. Switched to a different PCP

What visit. His staff wouldn't give me a physical exam at his office during Covid. Now 6 months later they still wont give me a physical exam because I am not vaccinated. I told the nurse I had Covid in March of last year and I have the natural antibodies. She said it doesn't matter. I said wow I am going to get another Doctor. She said do what you have to. I looked up the doctor and he is 69 years old. I am 66. I called my insurance and got a new doctor who will see me right away! What has this medical world come to?

I actually never met this doctor because the staff cancelled on me AT THE VERY LAST MINUTE TWICE IN ONE WEEK! They claimed both times that he had "an emergency" come up.....both times! Do not put your health in the hands of this incompetent doctor and his staff!!!

Really terrible clinic. Impossible to get an appointment, and the staff is incompetent on a good day and miserable on most other days.

Proceed with caution. When I met Dr. K. at my dad's appointment (he's the patient), the apathy with which we were confronted was appalling. No accountability and no compassion here, I'm afraid.

My fiance has had major health problems. When we first went to Dr. K he was so gung-ho with helping us. I felt like he actually cared. I was excited to finally be on the road to figure out what was wrong with him. Why he was in so much agonizing pain all of the time. After the 1st visit it all went downhill. His office staff lagged on submitting our authorizations for treatment he needed. The staff was just rude. Not enough room to go into detail! If you want good personal care LOOK ELSEWHERE!

Dr Kockinis is the best primary care doctor I have had. He communicates well, follows through, works well with my insurance company, writes effective doctor?s notes, open to questions, knowledgeable, and his staff are what good offices strive for. He is assisting me in my goal of asserting myself to the best health possible and working on my preexisting multiple medical conditions, he made my relocating to this area easier by finding me even better specialists than I had with my prior insurance.
