I found Dr Kouranos a very open and sincere person. I can say he puts my health first. I am able to talk all my doubts with him and he is always listening and came back to me with a reasonable answer. He always hears what I want and need, and then goes ahead with a plan, with I agreed with. I think he never wants to go forward with unnecessary procedures and medication if there is no need. Very happy to have him as a Doctor.
