Dr. Zannikos did a wonderful job on my L4-S1 TLIF fusion. I am diabetic, which was concerning, but I healed well with no infection. I believe that is due to his small minimally invasive incisions. He is very attentive and concerned about the needs of his patients. Dr. Zannikos is an expert when performing lumbar spinal fusions. I got through mine with no bad side effects and significant improvement in my pain. A Grateful Patient

I have seen Dr. Zannikos for two separate reasons. The first time for a herniated disc at L5-S1 which resolved without surgery and then the second time for a cyst at L4-L5 ending in surgery. Dr. Zannikos is not only very professional he also cares about his patients. He made me feel very at ease with his confidence in my surgery going well. It did and I am recovering well. The staff in the office are all friendly and caring. Thank you to all of you for helping me through this. Highly recommended !

Dr. Zannikos and his staff are fantastic! I went to him for a herniated disc in my neck that was causing me to lose feeling in my hand. I could not be happier with the entire process and the professionalism which my case was handled. The surgery (cervical disc replacement) was a breeze, minimal pain, and able to get back to work in a much shorter time than anticipated. I highly recommend Dr. Zannikos and his staff, they are the best!

I had a great experience with Dr. Zannikos. Everything went smoothly and my recovery after a minimally invasive L4-L5 TLIF is going faster than expected. I highly recommend Dr. Zannikos

I had a previous lumbar fusion that did not work and I needed it revised.. this was a rather complicated surgery and Dr. Zannikos was able to complete the surgery minimally invasive...something a surgeon with less skill or experience would not have been able to do. I had no complications and my recovery time was very fast. Dr. Zannikos also took time to make sure all of my questions about the surgery and post-surgery expectations were answered which alleviated my anxiety a great deal. Dr. Zannikos office staff are wonderful ... read more

Performed a difficult surgery that literally saved my ability to walk. I have total trust in his medical decisions and surgery skills. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs surgery.

Dr. Zannikos immediately made me feel comfortable, demonstrating great knowledge about my problem and how to fix it. Most importantly, he was able to convey that information to me in a meaningful, concise, and often humorous manner. Since it was my first major surgery, I needed that extra boost of doctor/patient communication. My cervical fusion (c4-c7) and my recovery went well, and as far as I am concerned the operation was a huge success.

Dr. Zannikos and his office did all the work for my L4-L5 TLIF. Basically all I had to do was show up at the appointed times for my office appointments and the surgery. His office handled all of the scheduling, medicines, prescriptions and my questions. They made it very easy for me to understand the exact situation at all times. He made my recovery and follow up equally as simple. Some pain, of course. But I knew very well what to expect. There were no surprises.
