Spinal Surgeon in Liverpool

Get To Know Your Spinal Surgeon

I was born in 1975 on the tiny, but beautiful, Greek island of Alonnissos in the Aegean Sea. I attended the island primary and secondary schools and successfully completed all the national examinations, allowing me to move to Abruzzo, Italy, where I entered the medical school at the Universita degli Studi G. d Annunzio and qualified as Doctor of Medicine and Surgery in 2000.

Becoming a Full-Fledged Spinal Surgeon

In 2011, I was awarded the specialty title in Orthopaedics and Trauma surgery and in the same year I returned to Utah to further specialise in spinal surgery. In the following 4 years I was entirely dedicated to further spinal training and research, focused on preventing complications in Adult Spinal Deformity. I published several peer-reviewed articles in internationally recognized scientific journals, presented my research findings at international conferences and contributed chapters to various books in established medical literature.

I was honoured to have my work recognised in 2012 by the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) with the famous Russel Hibbs Award.  In my time in Utah I completed the AO Spine North America research fellowship and clinical spinal fellowship of the University of Utah under the guidance of Professor Darrel Brodke. I also had the privilege to gain experience in complex spinal surgery, from skull to pelvis, dealing with the full spectrum of spinal pathologies, including the highly complex conditions of ‘degenerative scoliosis’ and ‘fixed sagittal imbalance’.  

I have had the privilege of maintaining my scientific links with the University of Utah as I hold an Honorary contract as Instructor of Orthopaedics and Spinal Surgery and I continue to work on numerous international spinal research projects.
