I will always appreciate Dr. Perdikis and his approach to patient questions. He answers them with clear medical explanations and does not try to make you feel ill informed. He also explains things In a way to tell you the pros and cons of scenarios. He gives me reasonable expectations. He also has a great team!

Dr Perdikis listened to my fears/concerns and challenges. He expressed that I am totally in control of what happens next, while making some great suggestions on how I may ease my pain and reconnect the communication between my brain with my chest in the meantime. He asked me to check back in in 3 weeks, which also helped allay my fears. He was very compassionate and thoughtful.
