Central Clinic of Athens

"After one night in a public hospital in greece arriving here felt like heaven. The staff was very helpful and friendly and waiting times for treatments and examinations with MRI/CR were very short. Only the communication with the two involved orthopaedists and the diagnosis was a little confusing at first and took time. They explained very well my injury, but maybe there was miscommunication because of two different doctors involved plus me not speaking any greek. However, almost all staff spoke decent enough english to understand my needs."

"I had a pilonidal cyst with multiple fistulas treated by the attending physician Mr. Evangelos Chr. Niakas and his team. It had been bothering me for many years and I had not decided to do it, because I was afraid of the postoperative pain and the old treatment techniques. I could not take it anymore. It got to be too much the pain. Mr. Evangelos Chr. Niakas is an excellent doctor and exceptional person. He showed understanding of my problem and inspired me with confidence in his innovative method - the Niakas's method. The method used by Mr. Evangelos Chr. Niakas does not cause any pain and is a one day clinic. I want to thank once again the attending physician and his team as well as the staff of the clinic."

"I had a horrible fall and broke my shoulder on a Friday afternoon in Athens. I was brought in here by cab and by 10 o’clock on Saturday morning Dr. GEORGE and his amazing team had replaced my shoulder with a reverse total shoulder replacement,! It has only been eight days, but I have significant movement and really no pain. . I feel really good and the clinic staff are so good at what they do and attentive to my needs i can’t say enough about this entire team. The physical therpists all work together in a very cooperative manner. I’ve had physical therapy three times a day Each day, which is I’m sure why I am doing so well. The nurses are efficient and kind there’s a head nurse Nancy, who is so good at management. I would hire her in the US for anything that needed managing. And as for Dr. GEORGE, he’s kind of amazing I came in and I didn’t know what I did when I saw that x-ray that showed that I cracked the ball of the arm and dislocated the shoulder among other things and he looked at and said we can fix this. And he did. Not only that the clinic is in a beautiful place. I’m going to attach a picture of sunset over Athens and my personal view of the acropolis from my hotel room and the Terrace. If anyone ever needs orthopedic surgery in Greece, this is the place to come. Patricia Ericson Hood."

"A clinic who deserve more than 5 stars! We would like to thank the medical team at Central Clinic for their excellent care and treatment. During our vacation in Athens, my husband had to be admitted to hospital urgently and underwent delicate spinal surgery, performed by Dr. George Papagiannopoulos and Dr. Panagiotis Lygouriotis. The surgery was performed with great care, and we were reassured by Dr. George; he is such a gentle and kind person! We would also like to thank the physiotherapist George, Nick from the ambulance, the nurses Maria, Althanasia, Lia, the kitchen staff, Julia from the accountancy and everyone else. The recovery is going good!"

"Unfortunately for me I had a nasty fall ( looking at my IPHONE instead of where I was going) hit my head and chest. Even though Greek is not my native language, all the nurses, MD’s and CRI techs , admitting people were able to communicate with me about my situation and condition which was very reassuring and comforting. Appreciate you all!"
