Weather history caused a more difficult time to get an appointment. Kanos's office is extremely helpful, respectful. Kanos is concerned, highly competent. He is worth extra days waiting to see him.

Dr Kanos is the Best! He was recommended to me by a friend. I would recommend him to anyone who has spinal/back problems.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/25/2026
It would be great if scheduling could be improved. I know that a lot has to be coordinated and more doctors and facilities are needed and expensive but each day/week/month that goes by could result in further damage and pain is a distinct probability.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/19/2026
You are very busy but Dr Kanos was extremely helpful and explained my situation very well. He even apologized for the time it takes to get an appointment with him which only speaks to how good he is at what he does

Excellent service
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/13/2026
Everything went well, I just wish the appointment schedule was more controllable and the wait for treatment was not so far out. However, when your healthcare team is the absolute best, everyone is trying to to get into se them.

I have only been to Dr. Kanos office 2-3 times and everyone has always been pleasant and helpful. I have no complaints!

No. Everything was great.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/26/2025
I can't think of anything. Dr. Kanos was outstanding. He listened carefully and responded to my questions fully and with interest. One of the best doctors I've come across in terms of communication skills and bedside manner.

Dr Charles was wonderful, answering my questions and helping with all my worries.
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/27/2025
I appreciate Dr. Kanos' surgical skills though he has a dismissive and aggravated way at appointments face to face.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/27/2025
The staff in Dr Kanos office is courteous and respectful! Dr Kanos is patient and explains treatment plans in detail. He reviews his opinion on care plans and surgical options then offers the opportunity to ask questions. Does not seem rushed at all even though I am aware he has a very busy schedule.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/27/2025
NA, the staff was kind and friendly and Dr. Kanos took great care to listen and provide options and expertise that were needed.

I have not seen a more organized office and staff. It matches my PCP providers level of care
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/3/2025
Always give report from visit upon checking out without having to ask for one.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/3/2025
It was a "second opinion" visit, but I would have liked to have been offered a follow-up appointment. I would definitely prefer for the surgeon I saw to take over my care.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/31/2025
I was very pleased with my surgery and all those involved with my care.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/28/2025
Dr. Kanos was wonderful. I didn't get the appointment I needed was because he was all booked, not his fault. I don't see a nurse so I had to answer no that that question. I can trust the doctor & his staff completely.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/26/2025
I can't think of anything.Everybody was great and doctor Kanos It's very conscientious

Dr. Kanos attended to all my questions and concerns and laid out a solution that includes pain management. His personality and conversation made this an enjoyable experience.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/9/2025
Faster appointment scheduling,
- 2 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/9/2025
He could have explained the MRi more . I was concerned bc I read I had a stroke and I brought it up and no one mentioned anything about that
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/9/2025
All was good. Dr. Kanos explained my MRI results and recommended a new care plan.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/7/2025
Keep doing what you're doing! This office is amazing and I've been seeing them 2011! I would not trust anyone else for my spinal care!
- 3 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/7/2025
I visited to find out about a treatment that had been done and I was supposed to talk with my doctor to find out what was found. The doctor could not find any of the information from this treatment. He did show us on his computer what my problem was. Information about my previous visit was not found.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/6/2025
You could answer your phones when people call to make an appointment. First call rang 38 times then disconnected Ten minutes later Second call rang 32 times then disconnected. Billing answered on 5th ring they sent me over to office appointments

If I was able to get an appointment faster or if you would have called me regarding the referral that I got from my general practitioner.

Ask the doctor to introduce himself to new patients -I didn't have any idea who he was.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/18/2025
Nothing... "their service is over the top!"

Nothing it was all great...Dr. Kanos is great ?
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/14/2025
Nothing at all. The care I received was exceptional
- 1 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/13/2025
The doctor came in and did not even introduce himself. Never called the patient by his name. Verified pain placement with patient by touching the place of pain.. The doctor proceeded to say sorry I cannot help you and had us follow him out to exit the facility.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/13/2025
I trust Dr. Kanos completely.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/13/2025

Dr. Kanos was extremely knowledgeable and answered all questions about my back issues.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/8/2025
Could not have been better.
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/8/2025
It just took a while for the doctor to come in. He apologized that he was getting behind.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/8/2025
Very pleased
- 1 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/4/2025
The doctor could have asked me what had happened before and talked to me about my past treatment. He now wants me to do the same thing that didn't work before. And I don't understand why I need to do this.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/31/2025
I was respected
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/31/2025
Excellent care. Just seemed a little rushed, as my doctor was extremely busy answering other phone calls and messages during my visit. But I really like my doctor and am pleased with my care, just a little rushed.
- 4 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/1/2025
Everything was good.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/30/2025
IT WAS A VERY GOOD EXPERIENCE FOR ME AND I CAN'T OF ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE

- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/14/2025
Dr. Kanos and his staff are extremely professional and courteous. Dr. Kanos took time to listen to me and explain what he saw and his recommended course of treatment.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/9/2025
slow the whole process down. That's with me having hydrocephalus. My memory, my short-term memory is not that good. And just need to make sure I understand what the doctors are telling me or saying to me before I leave. Other than that, things are going really well. Thank you very much.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/9/2025
Well, I was, there was overflow in the hospital, so I was in recovery room all night, and I, it was just not a very nice experience. No food, no, it was just, I had, but other than that, it was great, thank you.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/8/2025
Have more time with the doctor. While he is obviously a great surgeon and has done surgery on my back before, he goes very fast. It would be nice to get a printout of exactly what vertebrae he plans to do what to. Two days after my visit there is no after visit summary in MyChart.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/7/2025
The follow up post-op visit was perfect without any issues. Dr Kanos is a fantastic doctor.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/2/2025
The only negative is I wasn't allowed to make an appointment for soon after my mri, until the mri had been completed which only delayed surgery. On a positive note, the office runs like a well oiled machine. The Dr. even apologized for being late and we had only been in the room a few minutes. Everyone has been great to work with.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/3/2025
The appointment was very fast, didn't seem like it lasted more than 5-7 minutes.

Improve time needed to get an appointment.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/29/2025
The rn or the individual who took notes for the Dr said nothing did not introduce herself was borderline rude. Dr kanos is of the charts good very kind very interested in the case plus very out of the box in his approach to my possible diagnosis...we weren't even sure the referrals had been done until we checked my chart...referrals were NOT on documents given to us at check out ...front desk folks very friendly and helpful
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 7/28/2025
Seemed a little rushed But I realize how busy Dr. Kanos must be.

Dr...No compassion. No plan "he changed his mind". Left me in tears and had no words of encouragement. I'll contact my Endocrinologist for a new referral.

Everything about the visit was good. We came in the wrong door but the staff at that desk and the security guard were most kind and put me in a wheelchair and got me to the right floor and then the security guard came back and got me after the visit. I was very impressed with Dr. Kanos and his staff and he is ready to help me with my condition as soon as possible. Support was offered before we even asked. Treated very nice by all staff in the office.
