Dr. Pappas works all so at University Medical Center and he hides won't see his patients.  It took me three visits to get him to come out of hiding to see me.  He treats patients there as a number not a patient.  I got a call from a doctor not him that he was not doing my surgery when he said he was going to do it.  Void this doctor.
