Reviews
I have seen Dr twice now for treatment and would highly recommend her.
Was thorough in getting a good understanding of my symptoms before explaining how and where the steroid injection will be given to try help with the pain/inflammation. Very calm and professional with an aura of confidence in her work
I am needle phobic and was very agitated going into the room to have the procedure done. Dr Vrizidou was calm and very reassuring talking me through the whole procedure. Before I realised it, the procedure was completed. I experienced very little pain.
