September 20, 2019Robert M.Verified patient
I've been suffering from back pain for 25 years with no one who helped. Dr Kountis understood that arthritis is very real but I was happy to hear he had REAL solutions and interventions to help me. I'm a few weeks out from a minimally invasive procedure and my pain is 1-2/10 compared to 10! I am forever grateful to his expertise and care!! He is highly recommended

July 5, 2019Phyllis W.Verified patient
I cannot express enough how pleased I am with Dr. Kountis! After two years of my worsening condition being overlooked and under-cared for by doctors, this visit blew me away! I was seen immediately, he listened to my concerns, asked if I had questions, etc. His examination was thorough, his caring attitude genuine, and I walked out with a game plan for my treatment and in almost no pain! I cannot recommend this man highly enough!
More than 1 year agoLinda M.Verified patient

Dr Kountis was kind and had an excellent bedside manner. He took the time to understand what my complaint was and I felt confident he would get to the bottom of it. I did not feel rushed and will definitely recommend him!
More than 1 year agoCrystal A.Verified patient
Dr. Kountis is exceptional. He is kind, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. He truly cares. It was my first visit, but I was already welling up with relief in his office, feeling like there is a solution for an on and off decade long chronic pain condition. Also, he is in this for he service not the money. He told me about a mild surgical procedure that often helps my condition, but said we should try medication to treat the inflammation first to see if that resolves it. He offered many options but pushed nothing. I feel so incredibly lucky to have found him.
June 26, 2018Mary Regency B.Verified patient
We just started.
Let you know in 6 months.

Dr. Kountis is a very thoughtful, and thorough practitioner. Anyone looking for a doctor who listens to your concerns, and makes treatment a collaborative experience should look no further.
