I was set up for a meet and greet one afternoon and I think it was for 30 minutes. When I left George Chaconas office it was almost 1 hr. and 45 minutes later. If a doctor will set and talk to you for that long in regard to your health, just think how thorough he will be for testing and personal care. My mind was made up when I left his office. Best decision ever!!!!

My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
As a board certified family medicine physician, with over 25 years of experience, I have spent my entire career concentrating on all aspects of health. As an extension of my commitment to preventive health, I also became one of only 21 doctors in Virginia to be board certified in Clinical Lipidology. My regional referral center, the Center for Advanced Lipid Management in Roanoke, helps many patients in southwest Virginia and I bring the same heart attack prevention expertise to my primary care practice at Smith Mountain Lake. I treat my patients as I would want to be treated, always going the extra mile to explain things in an easy to understand, friendly and non-confrontational manner. I love what I do.
On a personal note, I have other passions, which are spending time with my wife, kids and dog. My hobbies include golf and playing guitar.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Chaconas
Dr. George Chaconas,
I have been a patient of yours for a very long time. I don't believe I could ever find another doctor as good as George. I think he is the best he has always been able to help, either by treatment in office or gotten me to a specialist. He has also given me good advice at times when I really needed it. I feel as he is not just my doctor, but a friend. I have… See more
I saw my previous doctor for several years for a digestive issue Although he prescribed many different supplements and several prescription meds it didn’t cure the issue. When I began seeing Dr Chaconas his initial treatment began with several diagnostic tests and identified the problem and a routine of effective treatment. I have now been a patient for several years and have been extremely… See more
Dr. Chaconas,
Thank you so much for meeting me where I was and helping me to work toward the goals that I have. I am so glad to have a doctor who is willing to meet me where I am and work with me toward the goals I want to achieve.

Dr. George Chaconas has shared many helpful things with me over many years, but one stands out. It has had a profound effect on my life, making it much simpler and less stressful. His words of wisdom were: “Stop Googling stuff on WebMD! If you want to know about something medical, just ask me.” Wise words from a wise man.
My husband and I have been patients of Dr, Chaconas for more than twenty years. He helped my husband Mike Coveny with several health conditions. Dr Chaconas was always my first call to his office or to his home. On this particular early morning my husband had an early appointment with his monitor physical therapist. He needed to get up early to be ready for the appointment. I had roused him so… See more
In September, 2012, my husband became very ill. He was having considerable back pain and received a steroid injection at Insight Imaging in Roanoke, Virginia in hopes that he would get some relief, but was soon hospitalized after a late night call from the corporate offices of Insight Imaging where the injection was administered. They told me to take Ferman to Roanoke Memorial Hospital… See more
