To my surprise, Dr. George Papas, MD does not come into the office on the date I made my appointment for. However I must note that, Ericka, the PA who saw me for my appointment, seemed even more than qualified than some MDs I have interacted with. She listens, she cares, she is qualified. I couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you.

I was seen by the Physician's Assistant, Erica, and she couldn't have been better. Sat with me for 30 minutes to listen to all of my symptoms/concerns and gave me honest feedback and took the time to make me feel comfortable.

The doctor was fine but I was told to arrive 15 minutes early to my appointment. I did, but was greeted by a locked door because the office was away at lunch. That's fine, but I showed up early and didn't need to because nobody answered the door until my scheduled 1:30 appointment.

Really professional and courteous staff. Dr. Papas is a very nice and understanding doctor; I've been seeing him for about a year and I'd recommend him to anyone seeking a non-judgmental physician who cares about all his patients.

Great Doctor, fast clean and efficient.
Did not have to wait long at all and the staff is amazing as well.
This is the first general doctor I have seen in years! I will not go anywhere else !
July 1, 2019Ian S.Verified patient
Best doctor I’ve seen in a long time. I didn’t wait long, he took his time to do a thorough assessment, gave great referrals, but most importantly listened to me and believed what I said. I made an appointment last minute with first available provider so I wasn’t expecting much but couldn’t be more pleased with the level of care he provided even compared to doctors I’ve waited months to see. I will continue to see this doctor; it makes a world of a difference feeling I have an educated professional on my side.
June 26, 2019Ayla D.Verified patient
He was very professional and straight to the point. No nonsense, just gave me a physical and sent me on my way. Gave a prescription when I asked for it with no problems at all.

I thought he was very old school, but in a good way. He asked a lot of queations and wanted to know every detail. I haven't had a doctor in a while that wanted to know every little detail, just the major ones. Highly recommend.
August 22, 2017Alexandria M.Verified patient
He was very personable, thorough and professional. He dictated his notes while I was in the exam room asking me if it sounded okay to ensure he covered everything and the notes were to my satisfaction, which I thought was nice.
He went through my history and wanted to cover all bases for treatment for me.
I had a very positive experience with him.

June 16, 2017Jeremy B.Verified patient
A very thorough and interested physician, Dr.Papas has a excellent demeanor and bedside manner. He strikes me as knowledgeable and up-to-date. He is generous with his time yet both punctual and concise, ready to listen and to explain matters. Furthermore, he is clearly conservative about inappropriate use of opioid pain meds, which I find so commendable. I would recommend him highly.
