Mark C. Drakos's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Drakos was my 6th doctor I visited for my issue. REPAIR ACHILLES TENDON EXOSTECTOMY LOWER EXTREMITY; CALCANEAL. I chose him because of his staff and because he actually sat down to answer ALL of my questions. He even explained what he was actually going to do and gave me a # of how many times he had done the procedure. I never felt rushed or pressured. The day of the surgery Dr. Drakos really seemed like he was in his element. He was very happy and excited. He REALLY made me feel at ease. And the staff at the ambulatory HSS is phenomenal down to the security! The PA Nicole and Nurse practitioner are also phenomenal. He has chosen an amazing TEAM!

Dr. Drakos perfectly performed a scarf and akin osteotomy/bunionectomy of my big toe on my right foot. He is a surgeon that you can trust and will only do what he says. I couldn't be happier with the results. A+++! Thank you to you and your team for your expertise, commitment and compassion. Highly Recommended!👍👍👍

Dr Drakos flawlessly performed a scarf and akin osteotomy on my big toe of my right foot. Getting ready for surgery on my other foot. He is highly-qualified and highly-recommended! A+ and Thank you to Dr Drakos and his Team. Nannette Smith-Junk

Did not listen - arrogant - whole team culture is punky - he’s got a chip on his shoulder that is very real. Don’t even think of seeing this guy - very surprised he’s HSS approved

This review is long, almost three years overdue and I regret not writing this sooner. Dr. Drakos flawlessly completed a reasonably low/mid complexity procedure on my ankle bone. But I had serious pre-surgical concerns relating to an old injury on the same leg. He was professional, personable, and fully addressed my concerns - even referring me to a colleague outside of HSS, for additional analysis to address all of my concerns. While awaiting my procedure the day of, a complication arose with another surgical patient and I observed Dr. Drakos - as a man of absolute grace under pressure. Dr. Drakos is both very pleasant and highly competent. I wish all surgeons were of similar caliber. Thanks Mark.

I am not only the LUCKIEST patient but the most GRATEFUL patient. Words can not express my gratitude for Dr. Drakos & P.A. Nicole. Dr. Drakos came highly recommended. Excellent bed side manor, understanding, and took the time to answer all my questions. I never felt rushed. Dr. Drakos saved my foot after a botched surgery from another surgeon. Thank you Dr. Drakos for not only recognizing I had a continued problem but suggesting I have another surgery. Thank you Sharon for your kindness and your patience for addressing all my concerns. Dr. Drakos, they always say when the ship is run smoothly it's due to the captain! Your team is on point as well as HSS. Being cared for in HSS was like being treated in the Waldorf Astoria. Let alone my spectacular view! The ball was never dropped! THANK YOU & God bless you & your staff! Forever GRATEFUL!!! Deborah

After having gone through 4 years of pain because of a terrible situation. IDr. Drakos, who sat with me and my son for all the time that was needed to explain all the possibilities for me. He is one of the kindest and most thorough Doctors and human being i have encountered in the medical field. I can't thank him, his intern and his staff for making me feel like I really mattered. Thank you

Dr Drakos was kind and caring. He recommended extracorporeal shockwave therapy as an alternative to surgery to treat a very, very painful heel spur His staff was also over the top professional and thorough. I am very happy with the results How many orthopedic surgeons do you think would suggest a non surgical treatment ? Dr Drakos prescribed what was best for me not his bottom line. I think he’s a wonderful Dr and am so happy I went to him after getting 8 shots in my heel over the years. The ESWT really worked !,,,,

Have better patient care and stop piling on the hardware to compensate for lack of efficacious surgical treatment.

I met Dr. Drakos after I broke my ankle and the Hospital for Special Surgery was recommended to me. So happy I followed that advice. He was friendly, compassionate and professional. The whole staff and the Uniondale office as well as the hospital in the city are wonderful. Helpful, courteous, willing to answer all questions and put you at ease. Surgery was successful and while I'm still in physical therapy, I'm confident that I'm well on my way to a full recovery back to normal. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Drakos to anyone who asked.
