Had a great experience with Dr. Kotis. I selected him because he has a lot of experience with tummy tucks. The surgery went well, results are great (even after 2 months) and have had no issues. I am in my 50's and am in good shape.

If I could I would give zero stars. This guy does sloppy work and only cares about the money. I sustained a GSW to my left hand and wants to claim he "saved my hand" when in reality he hadn't, he caused more permanent damage. I had to get my wound repaired and cared for at another facility with a different plastic surgeon. The permanent damage he caused won't be fixed, but I'm glad the new surgeon was able to heal and really save the rest of my hand.

I wish I did more research into Dr. Kotis but sadly I did not. I ended up having surgery on fractured finger which was rushed to say the least. The end result is a still bent finger and now I am out of pocket $4k (with really good insurance mind you). The office also does not return my calls regarding my bill. Spare yourself the headache and go somewhere else.

Excellent surgeon. He took care of my hand after trauma I sustained. I lacerated tendons and nerves and this was repaired and back to functioning normal. Would not hesitate recommending anyone to this doctor.

Dr. Kotis was an excellent doctor. He was extremely informative and helpful to me while I was recovering from a broken finger. He took the time to explain each and every step of the process with me and encouraged me to go to therapy. As a result, I have complete use of my finger. I would recommend his services to anyone. Great experience!
