My experience from start to finish was excellent. Great care and follow up with everything explained well
Very happy with the high quality level of service from Mr Asimakopoulos.
Very professional approach whilst remaining friendly, approachable and comforting.
Excellent doctor, knowledgeable and keen on explaining to the patient.
Mr Asimakopoulos was friendly, re-assuring and attentive throughout the consultation. He took time to explain each step of the examination he carried out and to provide a clear summary of his conclusions and recommendations. His manner and approach was perfect for an apprehensive patient such as myself.
Cannot thank Mr Asimakopolous enough for making a difficult situation very easy. He talked me through the whole surgical procedure, checking my full understanding throughout. He gave me reassurance whilst explaining the risks involved which took a lot of worry away. He is very knowledgable and fully explained anything I asked. He is friendly, approachable and open to any questions. Could not do enough to put me at ease. After care was spot on too. A very positive experience.
Very friendly; really made an effort to ensure I felt comfortable and well- informed throughout.
