Dr. Boutsicaris is one of the most alert, compassionate and knowledgeable doctors I have ever encountered. She prepares for appointments extremely thoroughly, pays attention to procedures and comments from other care team doctors, and relates them, when necessary, to my reason to see her. Recommended without hesitation.

Dr. Boutsicaris is fantastic - as is her staff. They worked extremely hard to make sure my prescription was filled - through prior authorizations, denials, appeals, more denials and more appeals. They did everything they could to ensure I'm able to continue on the successful treatment plan I've been on for four years - despite the insurance company throwing up as many hurdles as they could think of. I'm very grateful.

Caring and empathetic shown
March 26, 2026
I'm new to the Endeavor health system and I have been blown away by the kindness, thoroughness, and overall knowledge & expertise shown by every single person I've come in contact with; from scheduling appointments, answering questions, and making me feel heard for the first time in life about a condition I've suspected I've had but that has been brushed off by numerous doctors about - again, blown AWAY!
