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.

Great Doctor!
Dr P. Took care of the bone spurs on my foot in a most efficient and pain free comfortable surgery this week. His manners and skills are top notch. He actually listens. I would not hesitate to go to him again for surgery. 5 plus stars!

Don't go to this dr if you have medicare
he refuses to work with outside places when he orders things like diabetic shoes/braces/other durable medical equipment. he acts like he's hot snot on a silver platter, but he's really just a cold booger on a paper plate.

Friendly and Competent
I’ve seen Dr. Papacostas for my ankle and knee on a few occasions and he has always explained my condition in layman terms. I have always been satisfied with the treatment I received and surgery on one occasion. He is a compassionate Physician and very patient oriented. I would highly recommend Dr. Papacostas.

Three for three
I've been to see Dr. Papacostas three times in the last five years: once for leg pain; once for shoulder pain; once for hip pain. Each time he sent me home with detailed exercise instruction. Each time no return visit was necessary and I was able to heal myself. That's the kind of pain management we could use more of! Additionally, Dr. George ALWAYS explains the diagnosis and outlines the options in lay terms, making sure I understand the cause of my pain and how I can alleviate it. He's "...simply the best."

Dr. Papacostas did a great job of listening to my concerns about surgery, and we came up with a non surgical plan till I’m ready, I also had a cortisone injection that day, and he made it easy and pain free!

Excellent diagnosis & recovery plan
Dr. Papacostas was very thorough with the diagnosis of a problem with my knee. An X-ray was taken at the office which was very convenient and mobility of my knee was checked. As a result he recommended an exercise plan to strengthen my knee and so far it has helped.

My "bad ankle"
I went in with foot pain and a 20+ year old ankle break and multiple surgeries. I was expecting to have to have another surgery. I left with an incredibly detailed explanation of the options and each options pros and cons. Expert advice and a brace and stretch regimen was all the doctor recommended. It is also nice to leave with the confidence he instills while discussing your case with you. Highly recommended!

Excellent Doctor
Dr. Papacostas adjusted his schedule to see me after I broke and dislocated my ankle. He was very down to earth, explaining what happened and what needed to be done. Surgery was scheduled the next day and I’m now on the road to recovery. Choosing him and Omni was a good choice.

Excellent doctor!
Dr. Papacostas did a bunion surgery (lapidus bunionectomy) on my foot and I couldn’t be more pleased with the surgery results or the care I received from him and his medical staff throughout the entire process. Everything was explained to me very well every step of the way. I especially appreciate the time that the doctor spent with me in the office visits. I never felt rushed- he was very patient and answered any and all questions I had. I would definitely recommend him!

No one likes going to the doctor. It usually means you're in pain. Omni and Dr. Papacostas worked quickly and efficiently to diagnose my issue and a recommended course of treatment. No unnecessary tests or wait time, and the followup to make sure the treatment is working is appreciated.
