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.

Only issue is that the doctor was going to give me a prescription and we both forgot before I left.

I have come to Dr. Boutris for some years now. His initial advice some years ago that steroid shots could ease my discomfort was spot on.

Talented Professional who repaired my two knees.
I paid a visit to consult Dr Boutros about my knee problems, and during the visit I could confirm that all these good reviews about his knowledge and professionalism are true. I finally decided to move on with him to perform the surgery for my left knee and I cannot say enough how good all the healing process and results have been. I almost had no pain at all, and the recovery has been so fast that after 3 months and a half I decided to have repaired my right knee, again with him. To my surprise, the recovery for the right knee has been even better, which just tells me that it was no luck, but just that he is that good. I have heard a lot of scary histories about painful times during recovery, and knee problems that didn’t go away with surgery, but so far this is not my case, and I cannot recommend him enough. Same for his staff and the Anesthesia team. Just pay him a visit and see it for yourself.

Labrum Repair
My 20 year old son tore his labrum in a lacrosse game. My son had the same injury that many NFL offensive lineman get when they get an arm too far out when blocking. We were lucky enough to find Dr Boutris. He has all of the board certifications and he previously was one of the team doctors for the NY Jets. Consequently he has extensive experience repairing torn labrums in athletes.He is an excellent communicator. He is well spoken AND HE LISTENS. He laid out all the options. We chose surgery as my son's tear was fairly significant. The surgery went perfectly and 2 months later my son is ahead of schedule with physical therapy and range of motion. I only have good things to say about Dr Boutris. I highly recommend.

I was extremely pleased that the doctor pulled out my MRI scans from a different provider and went over them with me. The provider that ordered them did not do so.

Rotator cuff & bicep repair
Dr Boutris completed rotator cuff and bicep repair surgery for me. The surgery was a success and 8 months afterwards there are no surgical scars or impairments. My strength is gaining and my range of motion is almost completely even to the other arm. Dr. Boutris' followup with me through the months after surgery have been informative and helpful to my recovery. His professionalism and friendly demeanor eased my anxiety regarding my recovery expectations and I am 100% satisfied with not only my surgery and recovery, but with my selection of Dr. Boutris as my surgeon.

Repeat customer.
Dr. Boutris repaired my left rotator cuff muscles, 2 full tears, 1 partial tear, in Jan 2023. I now have a complete tear in my right supraspinatus and a full or almost complete tear in my infraspinatus muscle. While I'm less that excited about going through this again, I wouldn't go to any other Dr. to get this repaired. Great Dr. great staff. Excellent re-hab team.

Complete repair of right shoulder
Dr. Boutris saw me after being referred for surgery on my right shoulder that showed a tear of the rotor cuff and bicep tendons. He explained everything and what to expect during rehab and recovery. My experience has been very good both with relief from pain I was experiencing before surgery and the lack of surgical trauma to my body from the repair. I believe it is the skillful expertise of Dr. Boutris that is responsible for my excellent outcome, and I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone.

Great Dr !
I moved from NY to Texas and needed to find new drs. Dr Boutris was recommended to me for shoulder pain. He was great… took X-rays, sent me for an MRI and although I do have a tear, he did not rush in to suggest surgery. He explained everything to me and ordered some PT and we will go from there! I liked his manner and concern and found it very easy to talk to him.

Excellent experience
Dr. Boutris did my knee surgery 3 months ago. It went very smoothly and he fixed what had been four years of pain along with four previous surgeries that never fixed the problem. Dr. Boutris and his skilled hands finally ended my suffering and I feel amazing! I would highly recommend him.

Pain Free
I came to Dr. Boutris with a separated right clavicle and bicep tendon issues. The pain caused by the bicep tendon issue had been going on for 7 years. After reviewing my situation, Dr. Boutris recommended surgery on an outpatient basis for both the separated clavicle and bicep tendon issue. After the surgery, the pain was gone. This was a great relief for me and I can't thank Dr. Boutris enough. I would also like to commend Dr. Boutris for his courteous and caring demeanor throughout the process. This helped to ease any and all concerns. I would highly recommend Dr. Boutris to all.
