Dr Paraskeva was extremely reassuring. He explained my condition, & the procedure required very clearly. I had total confidence in him, which for a rather nervous patient like myself, was invaluable.

Mr Paraskeva spent the time to explain all the options to me very clearly. The care I received was excellent and the recovery from the operation smoother than I had expected. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Paraskeva to others or to return to see him if needed.

Always enjoy my appointments with Barry.

From Initial consultation through to the follow up appointment after my procedure, Mr Paraskeva was very professional throughout and was happy to answer any questions or address any worries that I had. I was very happy with overall experience under Mr Paraskevas' care.
5
He was very good to deal with, both in the examination of my condition (a painful hernia) and his recommendations. On the day of surgery he was friendly and encouraging. The follow-up examination was very satisfactory and he showed concern and interest in me.
3.5
Mr Paraskeva explained the procedure well beforehand. However, the operation was not as straightforward as expected, and it was difficult to find out what had actually been done.
5
The question is not well worded! In my experience Mr Paraskeva was professional, kind, concerned about my well being and took time to explain everything to me. The outcome of the procedure would indicate that he is also technically excellent
5
Personable, reassuring, calming and a very good communicator. I was always condenser that I was in good hands
