I recently had an appointment with Dr. Zannikos and PA Brianna and I cannot express how impressed I am with the experience! From the moment I walked in, the office staff greeted me with warm smiles and made me feel welcome. They were friendly, efficient, and truly went above and beyond to ensure I felt comfortable. Dr. Zannikos was incredibly attentive and quick to diagnose my condition. Not only did they take the time to listen to my concerns, but they also explained everything clearly and made me feel at ease about the treatment plan. Physicians Assistant, Brianna, quickly returned my phone calls as well. Overall, I highly recommend Orthopedics New England and their amazing team. The combination of swift, accurate diagnosis and exceptional customer service is a rare find. Thank you for making my visit so pleasant!

Dr. Zannikos is always great. I would not be able to walk without his expertise. I had a laminectomy performed 6 weeks ago because I was unable to walk more than a few feet without pain. I was able to walk more than I have in months within a few days of surgery. I am so thankful!

My father needed a emergency surgery due to spinal infection that traveled to his spine from his bladder. I am so thankful we got Dr. Zannikos at Newton Wellesley Hospital. He was excellent at explaining everything to us, results and procedure. He is a very caring doctor.
