  • I have been seeing Dr. Ioannis at Thrive since November 2020. I have seen so many doctors and I believe that Dr Ioannis is the best doctor I’ve had. He’s very good at explaining my diagnosis and helping me understand the symptoms and how to cope. He also found the right balance of medication for me and is very considerate. The staff at Thrive are very nice, efficient and polite. They are also very accommodating with requests. I have never had a booking issue with them and they are always on time.
