When does the practice open?
The private practice opens during 2027 and the exact date will be announced on this website. Until then, the doctor works exclusively in the Greek public health system. Online booking will open when the practice opens. If you would like to be notified, send us a message using the contact form.
When should I see an internist?
An internist is the doctor for adults for everything concerning the internal organs. It is the right first step when you have symptoms and are not sure what is causing them, for an annual check-up, and for regular monitoring of long-term conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes.
Do I need an appointment?
Yes, visits are by appointment, so that every patient has enough time and you do not have to wait. Once the practice opens in 2027, you will be able to book online, Monday to Friday 10:00–20:00, or by phone. If your problem cannot wait, tell us when you call and we will try to see you the same day.
Do you accept EOPYY or private insurance?
Yes. The practice works with EOPYY and with all insurance companies. Bring your AMKA number and, if you have private insurance, your card or policy details. Prescriptions for medicines and tests are issued electronically.
Can you see me at home?
Yes, when getting to the practice is difficult. The doctor first assesses whether a home visit is the right option in your case. Home visits carry an additional charge, agreed with you before the visit. To request one, call us or fill in the contact form.
Do you communicate in sign language?
Yes. The doctor is certified in Greek Sign Language, so your visit can take place directly in sign language, without an interpreter. If you prefer, you are welcome to bring your own interpreter or companion. Appointments can be booked online, with no phone call needed. More for deaf and hard-of-hearing patients.
Do you see English-speaking patients?
Yes. Dr Karampatsaki worked for several years as a physician in NHS hospitals in Kent and is registered with the UK General Medical Council, so consultations can be held fully in English. Consultations in French are also possible.
What should I do if I have an urgent problem outside opening hours?
For chest pain, shortness of breath, sudden weakness or numbness, confusion, high fever with chills, or anything that worries you seriously, call 166 (EKAB ambulance service) or 112 immediately, or go to the nearest hospital on duty. You can find out which hospitals are on duty by calling 1434.
The practice opens in 2027. Would you like to be notified when we open, or do you have a question?
