Endoscopist

Easy and friendly

I cannot recommend Mr Athanasiou enough. He took so much time with me. From the initial consultation, seeing me through my gall bladder removal operation to my follow up appointments afterwards. He was happy to answer any questions, was knowledgeable, making sure I had thorough information about my condition and the procedure I was having. He was very kind and reassuring. I am very grateful for his help and feel like a new person since my surgery!

Had a great experience from start till finish. The harbour hospital was fantastic and so was Mr Oliver Allenby-Smith . I went to hospital with a hernia and they put me totally at ease . After the op I didn’t really get any pain and felt I was recovered after a few days . I felt it was well worth going private as the NHS said the waiting time for this would be well over a year . Well impressed, thank you.

Been here three times now, once for me in October (colonoscopy) and now twice in eight days with my seventy nine year old mum (top and tail examinations).I was nervous for myself the first time but the wonderful staff put my worries to rest with their professional yet friendly behaviour and information about what was going to happen. They constantly talk to you throughout the procedure and it was all over very quickly.With this knowledge I've been able to keep my mums spirits up before each visit and the staff have done a fantastic job looking after her through each attendance here.As in previous reviews there is plenty of parking here but it was a little tight today as its so near Xmas and a great local butchers also uses the same car park.

Excellent experience despite initial worries! Everything was explained well. I had a Gastroscopy. I went for the throat spray plus the sedation which mean I hardly felt a thing - I couldn’t believe how quickly it was completed!

I was due to have a Gastroscopy next week, but was fitted in today, because of a cancellation.The staff were so kind, caring & professional. I'm a nervous patient, but they did everything to put me at my ease & I wouldn't fear the procedure again. I'd give every member of staff 5 stars.

Wish I could give it aMinus rating. The whole procedure is harrendous. When tube down throat no way to let them know you want it to stop nothing is in place about this. If I knew everything before hand would of totally refused everything. Didn't keep to time very very poor all round. My rating is about minus 5

It's private health care. It's great.

Very professional throughout. Dr. Sarkar is extremely knowledgeable, explaining all details of my procedure and answered any queries. A big thankyou to the staff, who were all very helpful and polite.

I am very pleased with the treatment received from Mr. Papettas. The procedure was clearly explained and the outcome has been a complete success. I am more than happy to recommend him to anyone requiring surgery in his area of expertise.
