- May 26, 2023 I think Dr. Christakos is a good doctor and knows a lot about health and medicine; however, I think he should slow down and take more time to explain things more thoroughly and not be so swift during the patient’s visit with him. He seems in a hurry, and I would like for him to just take a little more time to make sure I understand everything and make sure all my questions are answered about my health. I hope this doesn’t seem negative toward him. As I said, he’s a good doctor, but I would like for him to be more laid back vs. seeming as if he’s in a hurry. He has already helped me so much, but I don’t want to feel as if I’m interrupting his rush by asking questions about my health.
