What a great BLESSING YOU ARE Thank you Dr.tONY

Knows his stuff, and knows how to talk with people who don't know yet have

Dr. Tsismenakis is a top notch surgeon. The Down East Orthopedics operating facility is new, super clean and up to date. When they wheeled me in to the operating room for my hip replacement surgery, I counted a team of 7 professionals standing by their posts and focused on the job at hand. Dr. Tsismenakis replaced my hip joint, and three hours later I was in the car headed home. I had no issues at all post surgery. My outcome was really good. Six weeks after surgery my physical therapist discontinued my appointments. I hiked the Gorge trail at Acadia National Park yesterday, 7 weeks post surgery. Dr. Tsismenakis knows what he is doing. If you need to get your hip replaced, this is the go to doctor.

Dr. Tony is very personable and professional. My hip surgery and recovery went very smoothly, and I could not be happier with the outcome. Highly recommend!

He was very informative and he had great understanding in which he was able to show as l was making my decision!

I highly recommend Dr. Tsimenakis to anyone who needs hip replacement. He is a class act: Very professional, and he cares about his patients.

Dr. Tony took the time to listen to me, answer questions and didn't rush my appointment.

upfront about everything, great 'bedside' manner, explained things in completely.

He was pleasant, patient & kind. He took a lot of time explaining in great detail what to expect during my procedure. He was very reassuring when I expressed fears & concerns. He took his time & treated me like I was the only patient he saw that day. I feel confident in choosing him as my doctor.

Needed specific answers -couldn't seem to get them.

This doctor is knowledgeable and professional and provides clear and concise diagnosis and prognosis. He seems to be on the conservative side, which serves the elderly community very well.

He is an awesome surgeon and person as well. He is very easy to talk to. I highly recommend him

Dr. Tony explained my diagnosis clearly in a way I could understand as well as my potential treatment options. I left feeling like I had a good understanding of what I could do.

My new hip has changed my life.

Dr. Tsismenakis is a breath of fresh air. He cares about his patients, insists on surgical excellence, works to explain the details, and his overall attitude gives me a great sense of confidence in the outcome of my forthcoming surgery.

I feel confident that Dr. Tsismenakis is going to provide me with a state of the art hip replacement. This was my first visit and I am reserving my five star rating until I am back on my feet! But so far I am very happy with my experience with Dr. Tsismenakis.

Dr. Tony is the best! I had oth my knees replaced by him last year and I feel like a new woman! He is a wonderful doctor who makes you feel like you are his priority from Day 1! I highly recommend him and Downeast Orthopedics!

Very personable and compassionate. Presents a high degree of competence. Discussed options available, pros and cons and left choice to me.

Excellent care and excellent knowledge

I thought Dr. Tsismenakis was very good and he explained to me the alternatives to hip surgery and what the problems would be with surgery with a patient with stickler’s syndrome. He seemed to be a cautious sensible doctor and I would recommend highly.

He was excellent , He was the only dr that was aware of my problem. I went to 7 drs before I finally was referred to Dr Tony. He knew what was and fixed it!!

Dr. Tsismenakis is an excellent communicator. During my visit he explained how the knee joint works, the problem with my knee as well as my treatment options. He is also a good listener. He is professional and at the same time very personable. I would highly recommend him to someone with knee pain.

Dr. Tony is very thorough and is a pleasure to have as a doctor

I was left in a room waiting for the Dr. for over an hour, with no explaintion. Your lucky I gave him 3 stars, I guess sales and marketing got in the way.
