2 months ago Επισκέφθηκα για πρώτη φορά τον συγκεκριμένο οφθαλμίατρο και έμεινα εξαιρετικά ικανοποιημένη από την εμπειρία μου. Υποβλήθηκα σε πλήρη οφθαλμολογικό έλεγχο και βυθοσκόπηση, τα οποία πραγματοποιήθηκαν με ιδιαίτερη σχολαστικότητα και προσοχή στη λεπτομέρεια.
Πρόκειται για έναν εξαιρετικά καταρτισμένο και έμπειρο γιατρό, που εμπνέει απόλυτη εμπιστοσύνη και ασφάλεια. Μου εξήγησε με σαφήνεια όλα τα ευρήματα της εξέτασης, αφιερώνοντας πραγματικά χρόνο και δείχνοντας genuine ενδιαφέρον για την περίπτωσή μου, χωρίς καμία βιασύνη.
Ένας γιατρός υψηλού επιπέδου, με άριστη επιστημονική κατάρτιση αλλά και εξαιρετική ανθρώπινη προσέγγιση. Χαίρομαι ιδιαίτερα που τον επέλεξα και σίγουρα θα τον εμπιστευθώ ξανά. Τον συστήνω ανεπιφύλακτα.3 months ago Ανέτρεψε με αξιοπιστία δύο ίδιες γνωματεύσεις δύο άλλων επώνυμων χειρουργών οφθαλμίατρων. Γλίτωσα δύο επώδυνες για μένα μαγνητικές τομογραφίες και το κυριότερο: συνειδητοποίησα ποιο είναι το πραγματικό οφθαλμολογικό πρόβλημα που έχω.
5 months ago Απόλυτη ικανοποίηση από την πρώτη επίσκεψη. Το ιατρείο είναι καθαρό και οργανωμένο, ο γιατρός φιλικός και επαγγελματικός. Μου εξήγησε αναλυτικά την κατάστασή μου με σαφήνεια και οπτικοακουστικό υλικό. Τον συνιστώ ανεπιφύλακτα.
9 months ago Ένας εξαιρετικός επαγγελματίας με σπάνια μεθοδικότητα και φιλική προσέγγιση. Εξηγεί τα πάντα με απόλυτη σαφήνεια, εμπνέοντας σιγουριά από την πρώτη στιγμή.
a year ago Σχολαστικός όσο κανείς μέχρι τα 45 μου χρόνια
Ευγενικός ήρεμος εξυπηρετικός

3 years ago Εξαιρετικός επιστήμονας και άνθρωπος! Δίνει ιδιαίτερη έμφαση στη λεπτομέρεια. Ο τρόπος με τον οποίο εκφέρει το λόγο του αποκαλύπτει επιστήμονα. Ακούει τον εξεταζόμενο με μεγάλη προσοχή. Διαθέτει ενσυναίσθηση. Από την πρώτη στιγμή γίνεται αρμονικό building rapport.
3 years ago Εξαίρετος ιατρός με σημασία στην λεπτομέρεια.

Frequently asked questions
Where is the practice?
In Melissia, north Athens, on the first floor of the shopping centre at 8 Leof. Dimokratias, right next to the Melissia Lidl. It is easy to reach from Vrilissia, Penteli and Nea Penteli.
Is there parking?
Yes, free. The shopping centre has its own free underground car park, with a lift that goes straight to the first floor, where the practice is.
Is the practice accessible for people with reduced mobility?
Yes. There is a dedicated parking space in the underground car park right next to the lift, and there is not a single step between your car and the door of the practice.
How do I book an appointment?
Online, through the links on this website, at any time that suits you. Or by phone on +30 211 424 7724 or +30 6977 627 626 during opening hours.
Do you issue prescriptions for glasses?
Yes. The doctor issues electronic prescriptions for glasses, including for reimbursement through the Greek national health fund (EOPYY), after precise measurements with latest-generation equipment.
Do you issue certificates for driving licence renewal or entry to military schools?
Yes. After an eye examination at the practice, certificates are issued for driving licence renewal and for entry to military schools.
Do you see children?
Yes. The practice offers specialised care for both children and adults. Young children rarely complain that they cannot see well, so regular check-ups matter from infancy to adolescence.
Is everyone suitable for laser eye surgery?
No. Not every eye is suitable for refractive laser. A thorough pre-operative examination shows whether the procedure is completely safe for you and which technique suits each eye.
Does glaucoma have symptoms?
In the early stages, usually not. High eye pressure rarely gives any warning sign or pain, which is why many people with glaucoma do not know they have it. Regular eye examinations are the only way to catch it early.
