I have seen probably 3 different orthopedic surgeons over the past 6 years and have always heard the same story with my pain. Dr Petros is amazing. He did something no one has done yet which is fully listen to all of my symptoms and the issues ive experienced over the years. He fully explained the reason I have the pain and explained that it may not just be from one central point but a combination of factors which was eye opening to me because it made so much sense as it related to the way I felt. Thank you Dr Petros, very thankful I was able to find you.

After several years of seeing pain/injury related doctors within larger clinics, I found Dr. Petros immediately refreshing, personable, detailed, and comfortable. His listening was fantastic, and poor listening is perhaps a doctor's worse trait.
I am extremely happy to be with Dr. Petros now.
June 10, 2014Tim V.Verified patient
Dr. Petros has given me hope. If you are in chronic pain, you know what that means! He is awesome. Very thorough, caring. Takes extra time. He is by far the best doctor I have ever seen for my pain and has more knowledge than any doctor in Texas I had did by far!!! Best office and staff also!

Dr petros is great. For once i didnt have to convince a doctor of anything, he knew what was going on and saw that i needed not only to be seen but also heard. That means a lot! Besides that i was also able to restart my medications and trust that he knew what was needed. I feel better today than i have in a very long time and felt like i barely took any medications! That is a God send! I look forward to future appointments instead of dreading them. Thanks again Dr Petros and his welcoming staff! :-)
