Dr. Kanellakos performed a total knee replacement using MAKO robotic surgery in Jan. 2024.He was very honest with regard to what to expect post- operatively. Was empathetic with the post- operative pain and helped me through it and the surgery went very well. When I was discharged from the hospital I was using a cane and was walking on my own in less than 10 days. Must also add I was very motivated to walk on my own. I now, have no pain in my knee. I would highly recommend Dr.Kanellakos due to his compassion, excellent care ... read more

My wife met with Dr. Kanellakos for a consultation today. We both found him clear, compassionate and exactly what one would want in a surgeon. It is clear he is a master of his art and knows all the ins and outs, literally. We look forward to the procedure of a hip replacement in the coming months.

He did one TKR in 2012 and the other in 2014. Best thing I ever did. Zero problems since. I have recommended at least a dozen other athletes to him and all were extremely happy. He has a very serious personality. The initial recommendation to use him came from someone in the medical device business who said “ if it’s family , use Dr K.”

2 days before my wife's knee surgery, after limping around to get all her pre-operative testing done for a single surgery to remove hardware in her leg and do a total knee replacement, the doctor totally changed the plan and said he was now doing it in 2 surgeries, claiming he never said he would do it one surgery (a lie). She had been totally cleared, including by a Plastic Surgeon for her scarred skin, but he called this surgeon and convinced him otherwise. Now she would have an even less stable leg without the hardware fo... read more

Dr Kanellakos misdiagnosed an Achilles rupture that another doctor diagnosed immediately. His misdiagnosis caused me to (at his recommendation) walk around for weeks on it. The worst part is he was so confident in his diagnosis and was so glib and curt when I asked questions. My advice is to not go to him with any lower leg or ankle issues. The doctors I have seen since cannot believe he missed what was an easy diagnosis, which ultimate set me back weeks and possibly worse. I'm so grateful that I listened to my intuition and... read more

Dr. Kannelokas did a total knee replacement using MAKO robotic surgery. The entire process went much better than I imagined. His office staff was so efficient and made the pre-surgery process go so smoothly, even though I tested positive for COVID three days before the surgery and I had to reschedule. They were always available to answer questions and they called me every step of the way to insure my pre-admission testing was being done properly. The surgery went well and I experienced very little pain. I was in the hospital... read more

This man could not have been less engaged, he seemed almost bored with having to treat me and almost annoyed with any questions I had.

Dr. James Kanellakos is a wonderful doctor, very friendly and pleasant, precise and no nonsense; it is a pleasure to see him. He is very quick in his examination and a straight shooter. I had a right knee issue when biking, he fixed it, I had a rotator cuff issue due to a motorcycle accident, and he fixed it with a no fuss surgery. I am totally satisfied; he has great bedside manners, very easy to work with, his office staff is equally great to work with. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Kanellakos to everyone.
