Patient Reviews
Sep 15, 2023
I've seen Dr. Pappas for years. He follows me for a pancreatic cyst that causes concern it may become cancerous. After discovery of the cyst (& a liver tumor) multiple providers/surgeons recommended removal of the cyst which would involve a very dangerous difficult surgery called a Whipple Procedure. This procedure often results in significant digestive & nutritional issues & weight loss. I weigh less than 120 #. Thankfully Dr. Pappas took a more conservative approach while reassuring me as no one else ever has. He's monitored the cyst since 2007 with many CT scans & MRI's. While it's grown & led to pancreatitis & several biopsies I have still avoided this surgery with his help. I am now 63 and I pray I never require that procedure. My only concern with Dr. Pappas is that he'll retire & I'll never find another provider as outstanding as him. He gives me total confidence in him, he listens & I believe his skills are unmatched. He sees me promptly when I need him. He's the best.
