You share. I WILL LISTEN
A much-undervalued diagnostic tool is to give patients the opportunity to talk about their medical history. When and how did your problem start? What type of pain do you experience? For how long did the pain occur and what other treatments have been tried? It is essential that I understand your condition before starting any treatment.
You ask. I WILL ADVISE
Typically, patients will have a lot of questions, particularly if their condition is severe and they are anxious about the implications of surgery. Therefore, I will always explore all of the options to improve your condition before offering the next stage of treatment.
You have pain. I WILL HELP
Whatever your condition is, I will be able to analyse your symptoms, evaluate the most effective courses of action, propose the possible treatments and consequently improve your quality of life.

BIOGRAPHY
Born on the Greek island of Alonnissos in the Aegean Sea, I completed my medical training in Italy (Universita degli Studi G. d Annunzio) and qualified as Doctor of Medicine and Surgery in 2000. I undertook my initial training in Trauma and Orthopaedic surgery in Athens/Greece (Asclepieion Hospital), followed by four years of fellowship in the United States, where I developed my passion and skills in complex spinal surgery. I am fluent in English, Greek and Italian. Currently, I am a spinal consultant and lead deformity surgeon at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital and hold an Honorary Contract with the University of Utah, USA. I also have a private practice with Spire Liverpool and Murrayfield Hospitals.
