Mr Asimakopoulos was friendly, re-assuring and attentive throughout the consultation.

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.
