Dr Ketonis is awesome! [...]
Jun 19, 2024
Dr Ketonis and his attending were very clear and complete in their diagnosis and description of my issue. I was pleased that they listened to my desires about the options I had for treatment.

Jun 06, 2024
Dr. Ketonis is great.
May 17, 2024
Dr Ketonis is great [...].
Apr 09, 2024
Doc is cool. I'd recommend him to anyone
Mar 22, 2024
Very thorough w/medical part, but after appt. I realized I should have asked more followup home care questions.
Nov 15, 2023
I did not feel like my main concerns were heard. I felt rushed through my appointment and put off on another doctor.
Oct 11, 2023
[...] he seemed in a hurry
Jul 22, 2023
Saw him for very little time. Gave a somewhat good explanation of what was going on, but would have liked more detail.
Jun 11, 2023
He's a good doctor
Jun 10, 2023
Felt like Dr. Ketonis just wanted to get out of the room. I waited six months for an appointment that lasted maybe 5-10 minutes. Very disappointed.
Jun 09, 2023
This was a much better experience with this dr. than the first time I saw them.
May 17, 2023
Does not listen. Always in a hurry.
Apr 21, 2023
Impressed with the Doctors knowledge and communication skills in explaining the diagnosis and treatment options.
Apr 13, 2023
Did not provide much information about the surgery specifics, treatments specifics without my asking [...]
Apr 11, 2023
I was disappointed in Dr. Ketonis, on other visits he seemed interested in me and my problem, this visit not so much.
Mar 31, 2023
Well informed
Mar 29, 2023
Recommendation based on the very impressive results from the single treatment (injection) that I received.
Mar 26, 2023
I felt the provider leaned on a brief overview of my surgeries and what the other doctor(possibly a resident?) who spent the most time with me said rather than taking time to understand the full picture of what I feel is a chronic issue with my wrist. Because I had to [...] to see the doctor my pain had eased. I don't know if the doctors ability to offer more help was limited because I wasn't experiencing debilitating pain at the time? Being in my late [...]s, I was hoping for a better game plan than being told to take ibuprofen and wear a wrist brace for something I've been dealing with since I was 18. I told him I've used those braces before but they really didn't help. It has to constantly come off as I'm a mom of 3 kids and your movement is limited. The doctor basically chocked my constant pain up to overuse but I feel he had one foot out the door almost as soon as he had one foot in. He was never going to take in the whole picture.
Mar 02, 2023
Felt like I was being rushed
Mar 02, 2023
I had a cyst that requires surgery. I need my hands and cannot devote two weeks for healing. He suggested an injection into the cyst to try to dissolve it. It worked. I'm very happy
Feb 23, 2023
Provider was distracted and defensive when questioned about possible outcome for repair/recovery from issue being seen about.
Feb 16, 2023
I have no concerns at all about the medical care or doctor I saw. [...]
Feb 14, 2023
Nothing bad to say about Dr . Ketonis . I trust him with my life , on and off of the operating table .
Feb 06, 2023
Only saw the dr briefly. Very quickly told me what would be done and what to expect. Maybe spent 5 minutes with me.
Feb 01, 2023
I'm sure that they have allot on their plate right now, but the [...] MD I spoke too seemed very dismissive of my issue. [...] Though all of the other staff were wonderful to talk too.
Dec 29, 2022
Massive improvement in communication between my last visit and this one.
Dec 15, 2022
My thoughts on the bedside manner of the provider is that the provider should be more compassionate. [...] The provider was not gentle at all. [...] This provider lacks proper bedside manner, lacks compassion and sensitivity for the patient.
Dec 05, 2022
I feel I received excellent care with my visit.
Dec 02, 2022
Phenomenal experience. I left with confidence regarding my treatment plan.
Oct 31, 2022
Mu intention for this visit was to explore options for pain relief related to my elbows, Dr. Ketonis offered three options and discussed each option, potential outcomes and potential risks of all three.
Oct 19, 2022
Appointment was too short to form an opinion, but I received the information I came for. Provider was professional & helpful.
Oct 09, 2022
Very busy Physician, but took his time explaining and determining course of treatment.
Aug 30, 2022
Overall, it wasn't too bad considering some of the other stories I've heard of other providers.
Aug 12, 2022
My spouse was very appreciative that the Dr called him after my surgery was complete and told him how the surgery had gone.
Aug 10, 2022
Very good experience with the doctor.
Jul 15, 2022
Did an assessment to see what would be best for me. Explained what he found. Let me know my options and what I would like to do
May 18, 2022
At my last visit everything went well.
May 13, 2022
Dr. Ketonis listened to my concerns and addressed them thoughtfully.
May 11, 2022
I have already recommended this practice.
May 11, 2022
He was in a rush! [...]
Apr 25, 2022
Dr. Ketonis seems very busy & somewhat brusque.
Apr 12, 2022
Very happy with the doctor. Not too excited that it took me 3 months to get on his calendar. Otherwise, yes, very happy with the doctor!
Apr 08, 2022
The provider did not know I had previous steriodal injections although it ison my chart. I assumed they knew so did not mention - actually forgot about them and apologized for my forgetfulness. Those injections and resulting improvement in my condition completely changed the providers mind as to confirming I did have carpal tunnel in both hands.
Mar 30, 2022
Very helpful.
Mar 30, 2022
Knowledgeable, takes the time to explain decisions on treatments.
Mar 27, 2022
Excellent experience will return for follow up.
Mar 26, 2022
Did not care for my interaction with this provider. He Did not listen to my concerns and I felt rushed and I was wasting his time. [...] In the future, if I need to schedule another appointment with this office, I will asked to be seen by another doctor
Mar 12, 2022
I was not aware that surgery would exacerbate arthritis in my wrist. Dr. Ketonis is a great surgeon but he can be a bit blunt. He did explain everything to me. I am grateful for the PT care I am receiving post surgery.
Feb 20, 2022
Excellent provider!
