Patient Reviews
Mar 12, 2024
I’ve been seeing dr Kovatis for quite some time now. It’s for my foot. Which is a mess. With a lot of excess amount of hardware in it. Of which was performed by another dr. He is very knowledgeable and there is a reason he has received so many doctor of the year awards. He’s that good. I feel comfortable enough to speak with him about my care. Many times, you will find, the truth about a number of drs. They just care about themselves and you’re lucky for anytime they give you. I highly recommend dr Kovatis and if I could, I would give him 10 STARS. I am A very satisfied patient.
