Surgeon Testimonial

John George Zografakis
My first impression of Dr. Zografakis came when I saw him on a TV23 news broadcast a few weeks ago. He was much younger than I thought he would be, but he seemed to be warm and friendly even then. During the August seminar I was impressed by his honesty and the ease with which he spoke to us. He also seemed to be very much concerned with us getting the proper informaion regarding the procedure he uses, and he was very thorough in giving us information about the other procedures available at this time. I got the feeling that he genuinely cared about his patients and wanted us to be as informed as possible.
He has a great sense of humor and he put us at ease immediately. He didn't 'sugar coat'
or minimize the risks involved.

Have yet to judge his surgical competence, but overall I'm comfortable with him.
