Dr. Yannopoulos – Testimonials
Dr Yannopoulos is a caring, down to earth, knowledgeable, and personable orthopedic doctor. My experience with him and his office has always been positive. I recommend him wholeheartedly.
I really don't have words to describe how professional, sympatic, humble and caring are doctor Aris Yannopoulos and his staff. 100% recommendations of Orthopedic surgery and Partners to the public of Connecticut.
You were great!! You diagnosed my knee issue and you were able to explain what needed to be done in order for the knee to heal. I have the utmost confidence in your medical expertise!
Thank you very much.
Great dr- he takes time to assess you and help you recover. Trust his process and him. He is the only dr I would trust to operate on my back.
Dr Yannopoulos is fantastic. He has helped me with my cervical neck degeneration. He is calm and understanding and has moderate solutions for pain. He knows his stuff. Highly recommend!
After second visit the prescribed medication seems to be giving me relief from strained knee. I appreciate that Dr. Yannopoulis was diligent in finding a solution to my discomfort.
Was able to schedule appointment within a few weeks, issue diagnosed and explained to me, clean office, friendly staff... everything one wants from a medical provider.
I was referred to Dr. Aris Yannopoulos by my Internist for a severe pain in my back. Dr. Yannopoulos showed compassion and understanding of the pain I was in. He also showed empathy for me. You do not see that with many doctors today. Dr. Yannopoulos put me at ease regarding my pain because I thought something was terribly wrong with my back. He assured me that my x-rays revealed no evidence of a fracture or any acute pathology. Dr. Yannopoulos recommended physical therapy for me which I will be starting tomorrow. I highly recommend Dr. Yannopoulos for an Orthopedic doctor. The staff at Orthopedic Surgical Partners were also very kind and compassionate.
