VERY KIND AND I FELT VERY COMFORTABLE
NOT AT ALL. HE WAS VERY GOOD AT GIVING ME ALL THE INFO I NEEDED.
PLEASANT, AND DOWN TO EARTH
NOTHING. EVERYTHING WENT SMOOTH
ASK ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS I EVEN ASKED MINE 3 TIMES AND HE WAS NEVER RUDE.
TONS, HE IS VERY INFORMATIVE. I LEFT WITH ALL MY QUESTIONS ANSWERED.
I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE FOLLOWUPS WITH HIM AND HIS STAFF EVERY MONTH UNTILL I HEAL
VERY BLUNT AND STILL I WAS VERY COMFORTABLE HE DIDNT AIDE IN MY DECISION, I MADE MY OWN.
10 OUT OF 10 I LOOKED INTO OTHERS BUT HE AND HIS TEAM ARE VERY PROMPT AND ON THE BALL
IM NOT SURE I HAVENT HAD MY SURGERY YET.
Dr. Papasavas was great, he explained everything in great detail, including all the risks involved. He allowed plenty of time for any questions. I thought his office staff was great also, they were very nice and also allowed time for any questions we may have had. He didn't talk about any aftercare but I am guessing that that will come at a later time. I would rate him and his staff at least a 9. I think surgical competence and bedside manner are each very important. I guess I'll see how both of those go later.
I had my first appointment with Dr. Papasavas this past September, 2004. He was very polite, direct, and thorough. All of the office staff that I encountered were terrific, made me feel like I was walking into their home, and I did not have to wait longer to see the surgeon than I would have waited to see a PCP, so that was great. The office staff seemed to be very organized and everything went smoothly. There was one assistant who made me feel uncomfortable because of a comment that she made that was unnecessary, but other than that, I had a great visit. The surgeon explained the surgery to me very thoroughly, he also went over my other options and seemed to be trying to sell me on another, less-invasive procedure, since I am so young. He went through all of the major risks of the surgery, but we did not hit too much on aftercare. I will see him again in November, 2004 and see where I am with my insurance requirements.
My first impresion was that he was a kind man and continued throughout the interview with him..he told me in detail about the su
rgery and had a very kind manner about him.
His office staff on the other hand seemed to be busy and not interested in answering any questions...but of course that was my first visit....maybe things will change??
I was hesitant about him at first, maybe because I was nervous, but after the first visit and since, I have nothing but gratitude and respect for him. Him and his staff are awesome and have been a great help before during and after surgery.
I cannot say anything but Kudos to Dr. Papasavas and his staff, grreat bunch of people, polite, professional and kind.
My first impression was that he seemed young, but I guess he is relatively speaking. The office staff is superb!!! Very friendly and helpful and sincere. Make sure you have your questions ready before hand otherwise your time with Dr. P will be very short. I maybe saw him for 20 minutes. I'm not sure about the after care program. Everything I found out I found out from his staff. He did address the risks of surgery nicely and very seriously. I'd give him a 8. He seems very competent but quiet. So far I would rate the staff a 10. I enjoyed them greatly.
He is great. Everyone that I met in his office is great. He really cares about his patients. He is very positive but also realistic. He explained the surgery thoroughly and answered all of my questions. His surgical competence and bedside manner are both wonderful. His office also explains all of the aftercare and importance of it. I am very happy with him and his office. I heard the insurance woman are real sticklers and have upset a few people but I luckily did not have to meet them.
