"Following my son's recommendation and knowing Mr. Dervenis personally since he was a child, I have been to his office twice so far for an examination. I found him very good, calm and analytical. The examination was very detailed and he was not in a hurry to complete it. We discussed my questions and he was helpful and very understanding. I was completely satisfied and I recommend that you visit him for an examination or discussion on a topic."

"An excellent scientist with many years of expertise in internationally renowned hospitals abroad. The office is in a very central location in Thessaloniki, in a very pleasant and modern space with state-of-the-art equipment. He is an excellent ophthalmologist and a person who knows how to listen and deal with the patient. The examination was thorough. The doctor was able to diagnose a finding that no ophthalmologist had informed me about in the past. I highly recommend him to anyone who would like the best for their health!"

"I visited to have my eyes checked for possible lens implants (RLE). Dr. Dervenis was thorough and explained the advantages and disadvantages without pressure or sales pitch. Impressed with his examination and explanation of the risks and benefits of the operation. He clearly likes what he does and takes the time to listen and explain."
