About

Christ Pavlatos

Christ Pavlatos is a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon who specializes in sports medicine. He treats knee and shoulder problems, including rotator cuff tears, torn labrum, and knee ligament injuries. His practice includes high school, college and adult recreational athletes. Dr. Pavlatos has extensive experience in arthroscopic surgery, which reduces pain and speeds recovery times. Drawn to medicine by the combination of his interest in science and desire to help people, Dr. Pavlatos wanted to be a physician ever since he was five years old.

His approach to care stresses aggressive physical therapy as an alternative to surgery and as a means of speeding recovery when surgery is needed. Recognizing that patients do better when they are empowered to play an active role in their care, he makes certain to spend enough time with his patients to ensure they understand their condition, their treatment options and the rehabilitation process. He combines clinical excellence with compassion to earn patients’ trust and to achieve good outcomes for them. His goal is for his patients to be pain-free and functionally able to return to their desired activities.

They ignored my questions and my appointment seemed rushed. Their staff was friendly enough, but they didn't go out of their way to help me. I feel like my appointment was pointless. None of my questions were answered, nothing was accomplished, and I felt worse when I left.

botched knee surgery and lied to cover it up. had so many problems each time he wouldnt answer the question why my knee cap would move all the way to left when bending and hurt like hell. he blamed me! then he tried to blame it on my therapy, falling down from the knee giving out , profuse bleeding from viox ( known drug to that hurt and killed people) etc. i trusted him so i had no idea he put the tendon in too tight and was the total cause of my partial disabiltiy thereafter. I was too niave ,kept thinking he was telling me the truth. two years to go back is not enough time to figure out what is being kept from us. If i knew what i know now i would have never gone there! and had i , i would have sued and got another doctor to repair his botched knee surgery right away! The most horrible ordeal i have ever had to go thru. i was affraid of another surgery since it was a nitemare . too bad he didnt just confess he messed up and paid to get it done and compensate me for all the pain and suffering i am still going thru. i have to have his inferior work taken out and redone at my expense. I will NEVER go there again!

Their state-of-the-art facility offers some of the latest equipment in orthopedic surgery I have ever seen. It was such a relief to know they had such an outstanding and impressive facility. Their office was one of the quietest, most peaceful places I've ever visited. I was able to relax very easily. I never have to worry about them overbooking appointments. They definitely believe in quality over quantity here and it is much appreciated. They always made sure that I wasn't in any pain. Their prices were very fair. The level of care you get for the price is outstanding.
