I came to him after major aortic surgery with chronic, debilitating pain. From the very first visit, Dr Petrou listened — really listened. He took my pain seriously, explained everything clearly, and never made me feel dismissed. He tried multiple approaches, adjusted my medications thoughtfully when things weren't helping, and was honest with me about what to expect. I don't know where this journey ends, but I'm grateful to be under his care for pain management.
I was waiting for an appointment with Dr. Mehta, for a 2nd opinion, which he is the head of the group, but since it was a long wait, my referral agency told me to see Dr. Petrou, I must say I was very impressed the way he examined me, the way he explained me everything, and how I was treated, was a really professional set up and pretty fast paced service, Thank you,
Amazing doctor and fantastic practice. Have been seeing Dr. Mehta for many years and wouldn't dream of seeing another pain management specialist. He listens, is very detailed about procedures, he and his staff are meticulous about your safety and comfort and he is on the front line of cutting edge techniques, medications and procedures. You cannot do better than Dr. Mehta.
