We have visited Dr P a handful of times over the last few years for my sons cough, chest and sinus issues. He has been fantastic - calming our nerves and helping with both short and medium term solutions. I can highly recommend Dr P.

Dr. Polychronakis was very thorough and answered all of our questions. He was also very gentle and patient with our son who was scared. This helped make doctor's appointments a positive experience for him, so we are really grateful. So thankful to have found a great pediatrician!
