 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Papathomas is a wonderful physician! I've been her patient for approximately 10 years, and although I hadn't needed to see her in the past seven years, when my plantar fasciitis flared up, I knew exactly who I wanted to see. She is warm, caring, and compassionate, and always takes the time to listen to my concerns and address them thoroughly. I trust her completely, and when it comes to receiving a cortisone injection in my foot, there's no one else I would rather have caring for me. I'm truly grateful for her kindness, expertise, and genuine concern for her patients. I highly recommend her!
