Super personable, fantastic bedside manner. Incredibly intelligent, but spoke in a way I could understand. Was even great with my son that I needed to bring to the appt. Fully confident to move forward with surgery.

I came to Dr Pappas for a second opinion on having a torn meniscus in both knees. He was very thorough in explaining and spent much more time walking thru the details and my options compared to the first diagnosis. I would not hesitate to recommend him without reservation.

Dr Pappas it great. He operated on both my shoulders that were severely torn and tendons popped. He cleaned them both up and I now have limited mobility but had no use of them before surgeries, only pain. They were done four years apart. He’s very meticulous and pays great attention to detail. I Wouldn’t let anyone else operate on me.

Dr Pappas and his PA Eric are a great team. They were knowledgeable, helpful, and carrying. I'm so happy when I started having pain that was effecting my day to day activity they were able to get me in, see the issue and take care of it quickly. Thank you!
