Dr Sotiris Nicholas

Dr Nicholas has been so very fantastic, I cannot recommend him enough! Having had 2 very difficult and traumatic epidurals with my first 2 children, I was feeling extremely anxious in the lead up to my birth, but Dr Nicholas saw me for an anaesthetic review during pregnancy where we went through my history thoroughly, and made a plan for my C Section whilst ensuring I understood and felt comfortable with everything. On the day of my C Section, he was so reassuring to me and my partner, and did a wonderful Spinal anaesthetic which worked perfectly, and supported us with the birth of our 3rd baby in such a compassionate, kind and fun way! We can’t thank him enough for being so great!

If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. My wife and I recently welcomed our first daughter into the world at the Portland Hospital, and without question one of the people who made this experience so special was Dr Sotiris Nicholas. From the very first moment we met him, we knew we were in exceptionally safe hands. Childbirth, particularly a planned Caesarean section, can naturally be an anxious and emotional experience, but Dr Nicholas immediately put us at ease with his calm, reassuring manner, incredible professionalism, and genuine warmth. He visited us early on the morning of the Caesarean section, taking the time to explain everything in detail. No question was too small, and he ensured we fully understood every aspect of the anaesthetic process. His communication was outstanding throughout, and his confidence and expertise inspired complete trust. The epidural/spinal anaesthetic was administered with extraordinary skill. What could have been one of the most daunting parts of the day became remarkably smooth and comfortable thanks to his expertise. Throughout the procedure he remained attentive, reassuring, and present, constantly explaining what was happening and ensuring my wife was comfortable and relaxed. What truly sets Dr Nicholas apart, however, is the level of care he provides beyond what anyone could reasonably expect. He came to see us again later the very same day following the birth to check on my wife and make sure everything was progressing well. Then, incredibly, he made a special journey from home specifically to visit us again the...

He was extremely professional and helped me feel completely at ease. I would definitely want him as my anaesthetist again should I have another baby

I recently had a C-section and my anaesthetist was Dr Sotiris Nicholas. He was absolutely amazing from the minute we met he instantly put me at ease. His explanations of what was going to happen were super clear and kept me informed along the way of everything that was happening. He was so friendly and his general manner was very calming - exactly what you need if you are nervous going into the surgery. I'd highly recommend him to everyone. Thank you so much Dr. Nicholas!

I had a C section and Dr Sotiris Nicholas was recommended to me by my doctor. He was brilliant. Updating me on what was happening, talking to me while I was scared and asking me how I was feeling. Took photos for us too, made me laugh. The injection itself didn’t hurt at all and I was told to be in a position where it would hurt the least. It worked! He’s very trusting, professional but yet assures you and talks to you so you feel at ease. So happy and grateful to have had him! Thank you Sotiris you’re amazing!

Dr Sotiris made me feel so comfortable from the start & throughout the whole process, felt like you were with a friend. Which is so important with such fragile moments, recommend!

Dr. Sotiris was wonderful in every way. Not only was he incredibly clear and calm, but he kept me incredibly calm throughout the process, procedure and after as well. I felt so much more confident as I knew I was in such good hands.
