We owe our lives to Dr. Kovatis. We came thru the emergency room and he was the only orthopedist who fixed our injuries. Many other very badly trained doctors with bad bedside manner tried but Dr. Kovatis fixed everything. From being told we would both be dead or in wheelchairs, we are now travelling and in the gym. His bedside manner and overal demeanor as well as his surgical talents and the nice things we head about him in the hospital and throughout our care says it all. He is our hero and a superstar surgeon in our opinion.

I am a retired Army officer and my wife is a teacher and both had surgery with Dr. Kovatis. He is not only a leader but a true professional. We have no other words except we are blessed to have him save our limbs. We had encountered so many poor doctors and Dr. Kovatis is a leader and super surgeon. Dr.Kovatis is respected by all and we even heard this from many who work in his hospital.

From the moment we met him, we knew he was great. Class act, polite, listens, does not rush you and you can sense his empathy. Maybe due to his famil's military background and the long road of challenges he faced growing up. He is the real thing and if we had more Dr Kovatis types medicine and the world would be in a better place. When others heard us speaking about him in the surgical waiting room most were his patients and all agreed about the above.
