Patient Reviews
Nov 13, 2020
Dr Tranakas is truly an outstanding doctor/ surgeon. I recently had a surgery done by Dr Tranakas. I am grateful to him for being so understanding and caring. He answered all my questions pre and post surgery. He addressed all my concerns. I feel lucky to have been under the care of the Best doctor/surgeon . A scary and stressful experience would have been unbearable without the care , patience and skills of Dr Tranakas. I highly recommend Dr Tranakas to my friends and loved ones. His staff is very professional and welcoming. They definitely deserve more than five stars ??
