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 strongly advise anyone who reads this post to stay away from this man and his practice. His negligence and unprofessional behavior almost cost my mom her life. This happened about 3 weeks ago. My mom (74) went in for a routine colonoscopy. During the procedure, some polyps needed to be removed. When she got home she noticed that there was significant bleeding. She called his office and they told her ”bleeding is normal”. When the bleeding worsened, the office was not able to be reached. Eventually the bleeding got so bad that she had to call an ambulance and go to the emergency room. It was eventually discovered that during her routine colonoscopy, he somehow managed to clip an artery which caused internal bleeding so severe she needed a blood transfusion of 2 units and emergency surgery. She ended up spending 2 days in the ICU. There was no follow up call for over a week from him or his office. They eventually called to tell her the biopsy results. If you value your health and safety, I advise you stay away from this man and his practice and tell others to do the same. He’s careless, irresponsible, and dangerous.

Top Quality Doctor
Dr. Mihalakakos is a very caring, knowledgeable, and quality doctor. My wife and I have both used his services on several occasions and every time he has given us optimal care. He has always responded very knowledgeably to all our questions and made us feel at ease. He does quality work as a surgeon also.

Great Doctor!
Dr. Mihalakakos is a great doctor. He is personable, caring, and professional. He listens to you and provides excellent care. To Dr. Peter, you are an individual, not a number. He takes his time to know you.
