Last autumn, I had my third procedure (over five years) with Miss Pissanou, and in my view, I could be in no better hands. Miss Pissanou is an expert in her field and her bedside manner is exceptional--warm and personable. She also engages you by taking the time to explain her thinking and recommendations. In general, her standards are very high, and she has my complete confidence. She will always be the person to whom I go to first for relevant medical needs, and I will continue to refer others to her.

One of the kindest and most loving and caring doctors I’ve ever seen. Added to that is her amazing skills and professionalism. She has done one of the most difficult surgeries for my mom liver cancer resection. And was with us all the way in following up with her patients, contacting different doctors to ensure everything .she was committed and optimistic. She is not a bless from Allah and i wish her all the best
