Professor Papadakis was excellent and arguably one of the best Doctors I have ever met. He was very professional in his approach and manner. Listened to all my concerns and asked loads of questions around my symptoms and history. He also explained in detail all the tests that I would do and the reason for them. Can't thank him or recommend him enough. Thank you Professor Papadakis.

Prof Papadakis was most reassuring, empathetic and thorough. I thank him for his time, guidance, and his recommendations moving forward to have a full picture of why I may have this newly diagnosed condition. Not only having read the reports I had sent, he had obtained the original scans for his own perusal. He answered many outstanding questions I had about this condition. As a keen Endrance Runner I wanted reassurance and guidance about how to move forward safely with my training. Prof. Papadskis provided exactly this with realistic boundaries for me to follow, allowing me to continue to do what I love. I would not hesitate to book a follow up consultation as and when required.
