Dr. Bambakidis was like a breath of fresh air--besides my PCP, he's the first physician at the clinic that seemed to really be concerned with what I'm experiencing and really wants to get to the root of the problem for me so I can live a better life. He was very caring, kind, and took time to listen to me, and was very thorough in his exam/assessment. We need more Dr.'s like him!

Dr Peter Bambakidis honestly was one of the top 2-3 FINEST, most caring physicians that I have ever had. I have been to dozens of top physicians at CCF UH and Mayo over the past 9 years. He is among the very very best. I can tell that he was trained by The Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN. They really care and listen. He blended medical science with caring compassionate medicine in a way that many have forgotten. Thank God that Dr Bambakidis chose medicine as his life's work. The world is a better place. He should train all incoming physicians to CCF on physical exam, listening, compassion, empathy, and writing notes instead of typing on a computer. He even walked me out into the waiting room. Really? Most docs say "see ya"Dr Bambakiditis is such an amazing physician and a wonderful human being.

Dr Bambakidis is the best neurologist I have had by far. He really listens, not something doctors do too often anymore. I don't think he realizes how much he has helped me just by listening. He seemed to pick up on the underlying reasons for my headaches, beyond just the physical reasons. I don't think I would have made the progress I have with any other doctor.

Dr Bambakidis is always attentive and "listens" to you. Though a neurologist, he understood that concerns we were having about a GI problem potentially worsening her dementia symptoms due to chronic dehydration were heard and validated.

Dr. Bambakidis the the best doctor I have ever had. He is extremely experienced, knowledgeable and caring. He comes into the room well-prepared and familiar with any notes or images I have sent him, even when they are extensive. He takes an extremely thorough history and conducts and extremely thorough exam. He is a dying breed of doctor--I honestly don't know how he manages to do this given the pressures put on doctors today. He has helped me immensely with a set of very complicated problems.
