Central Clinic of Athens Hospital

"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."

"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 was on vacations with my cousin and I ended in an emergency at this awesome clinic. I had a surgery with Dr. Evangelos Chr. Niakas. He is the best. He gave me a lot confidence, because I was so scared. I was far away from my country (Peru) in the middle of vacations, I did not want to ruin my cousin's vacations. I came with a big pain on my lower belly and I had appendicitis, but Dr. Niakas found that I had a tumor on my left ovary and he took it off. He literally saved my life. He and his team treated me with a lot patience and dedication. They really take care of people. I asked him thousands of time for the same thing and he was always happy to answer. Thanks a lot for saving my life, doctor. Long life to you and Christopher. See you in Peru"

"I had an accident and fractured my patella. I went to the emergency department and Dr. Lampros took great care of me and continued communication with me over the phone whenever I needed advice and assistance. He helped to set me up for surgery with Dr. Georgios Panagiannopoulos the next day. Everyone at the clinic has been extremely kind and attentive during my recovery."

"I had to go to this hospital during my vacation being pregnant, on the recommendation of my insurer. My husband and I were impressed by the care provided by the entire staff - the lady at the reception desk, who was very supportive when she saw that I was panicking, the nurses, the paramedic who took patients to right places (you don't have to look for a room in the hospital yourself), and the wonderfull gynecologist. Everyone was smiling and supportive. I even got a single room with a bed, bathroom, and balcony, where my husband and I could wait calmly for the doctor, even though it was not clear whether I would stay in the hospital for longer (fortunately, there was no need). The doctor Ioannis Thanopoulos was competent and explained everything in understandable way, even though I don't know English very well. He did the appropriate examinations and gave all recommendations. He was very nice and assured me that if anything happened, I could call him. I felt really well taken care of physically and mentally. I am very grateful! 😊"
