Could not ask for better help and outcome, everything went to plan.

I had a left inguinal hernia surgery (robotic) a few weeks ago. It was my second surgery with Dr Apostolou who also operated on me 7 years ago. Needless to say, I highly recommend him for his caring, friendly and professional manner plus a good sense of humor.

Dr Apostolou embodies the wonderful gift of compassion for a patient going through a very traumatic time. Every step of the procedures was well explained with what to expect with possible outcomes. His technique & skills as a surgeon are exemplary there is no doubt that he is at the forefront of pancreatic cancer surgery & must be considered to be held in the highest regards internationally

Dr Apostolou was very professional. He explained the procedure carefully and listened to my concerns. The operations were performed successfully. He had an excellent bedside manner, and even visited me on the weekend. My family appreciated the way that he included them in the decision-making process. I would highly recommend Dr Apostolou. Thank you for enabling me to continue enjoying my life. I am extremely grateful.
