"Dr. Pappas and his team provided excellent care for my triplets and I. I have had 11 various surgeries in my lifetime and I can honestly say that Dr. Pappas and his staff are the most detailed and caring team. Dr. Pappas puts you at ease when speaking to you about your injury and the procedure needed to correct it. The hip arthroscopy that my sons and I had went great and we are more than happy with the results. I highly recommend Dr. Pappas and his staff to anyone who is need of expert care."
