About Mr Anestis Iossifidis
Mr Anestis Iossifidis trained at the University of Montpelier, France, for his medical degree. This means he is a surgeon, but also a medically qualified doctor, giving him an excellent understanding of the patient as a whole. With an international background, Mr Iossifidis is Greek and a fluent speaker in French.
He has been able to utilise and enhance some of his early years training, with his ability to build relationships and communicate as the clinical lead at the Croydon University Hospital. He leads a team of surgeons and mentors them through trauma and elective surgery.
Continuing his training at the North Norwich/ Cambridge area, he was able to further hone and specialise in his interest in orthopaedic surgery and ultimately in upper limb surgery. He was subsequently selected through competitive entry to Guys and St Thomas' and the high surgical training rotation there, where he stayed as Senior registrar. Throughout this time, he was mentored by the key host Orthopaedic Surgeons at these hospitals by Professor Fred Heatley, who has been one of the leading orthopaedic surgeons in the UK.
After his specialist training in upper limb surgery, he sub-specialised and did fellowship training, which took him through the South-East of England including London, as well as travelling internationally to New York. He felt that this was an important opportunity to further consolidate and enhance his international background and coordinate the different aspects of shoulder surgery allowing him to be a specialist in this area.
Mr Iossifidis is well recognised in the international scientific literature as well as locally where he is involved heavily with teaching and training. As a Consultant Shoulder surgeon since 1997 in Croydon, he developed a shoulder surgical practice and introduced arthroscopic (keyhole) shoulder surgery. Most of his shoulder surgery has been performed in day surgery since 2005.

Arthroscopic Shoulder surgery
Shoulder sports injuries

Shoulder fractures and dislocations

Rotator Cuff repair. Previous patient of his so came back to use him again. Very happy with everything
Mr Iossifidis, was very understanding, very informative and so helpful on every step of the procedure.
I had a serious fall, fracturing my shoulder, torn ligaments etc 8 months ago. Mr Lossifidas and his team did an incredible job! I have about 70%+ movement back in my shoulder. Can sleep without sleeping pills and no longer need constant pain relief. I'm slowly getting my life back! Incredible professionalism and care. Thank You - Shirley Oaks Hospital
Mr. Iossifidis was very efficient in his diagnosis and quickly arranged the necessary examinations for my right shoulder. The surgery on 28 January 2026 was performed on schedule and was a complete success. He remained highly professional throughout the entire process—from the initial diagnosis to the surgery and the postoperative consultations. Most importantly, his approach helped take the stress away during a difficult time. My recovery is progressing very well, and I am very happy with the results so far. Thank you, Mr. Iossifidis!
Mr Lossifidis was very professional in his approach before, during and following surgery. Thank you.
I got seen very quickly, was told everything in detail and was straight forward from beginning to end. I'll recommend Mr Iossifidis to anyone, and will definitely look to use him again in the future.
I had my right shoulder repaired,rotator cuff repair back in 2022 returned in January 2026 to have my left shoulder also repaired by Dr Iossifidis, I have to say, operation was both times complete success, service was excellent, also the doctor explained everything that he did, my recovery time was very short, just six weeks and I’m back to work. Simply the best. Last operation, January 28th 2026
