 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Papathomas has been my Doctor since the Astoria office and I followed her to Long Island.  She is the Most compassionate, sensitive and caring Doctor I know. My injury was very bad and she helped me through it in the most conservative way and continues to help me...recently I was suffering so bad from my injury, she gave me a shot that immediately took my pain away! It was amazing!  Her advice towards my situation is invaluable!
She is an OUTSTANDING  DOCTOR and I'm blessed to know her...because when you suffer with years of pain you need the best person in your life! Thank You Doctor Papathomas she is Highly recommended!
