Member of the Athens Medical Association, the General Medical Council and the British Medical Association.

An internist who learned medicine on the wards, on call and in emergency care.

I graduated from the Medical School of the University of Athens and began my clinical career at the rural surgery of Kallianio in Arcadia. From there I moved to the Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital in England, where I worked in general medicine, cardiology and respiratory medicine, rheumatology and care of the elderly.

I returned to Greece to train in internal medicine at Gennimatas General Hospital in Athens, where I spent most of my career. I served as Consultant, Senior Consultant and finally Director of the 1st Department of Internal Medicine and Infectious Diseases Unit. Since 2022 I have been Director of Internal Medicine at the Vyronas Health Centre, where I am the personal doctor of 2,000 patients and work in the emergency department.

I am certified in Greek Sign Language. Deaf and hard-of-hearing patients can talk with me directly, without an interpreter, and patients with speech difficulties find the time and the way of communicating that suits them. More

I believe good medicine starts with a careful conversation. I take the time to listen to your history, explain clearly what is going on, and we decide together on the next steps.
