Patient Reviews
“On September 3, 2024, during a vacation in Greece, following an accidental fall, my wife suffered a fracture of the neck of her left hip. Two days later, she was operated on by Dr. Andreas Papadopoulos who immediately inspired great confidence in her and made her feel at home despite being abroad. The surgery went well and the recovery is proceeding according to the pre-established plan. We would therefore like to thank him for the very high competence and professionalism and the great sensitivity and empathy shown in the doctor-patient relationship during the hospitalization in his clinic in Patras.”

“I have nothing but utmost praise for Dr. Papadopoulos and his incredible team. Starting with his receptionist Maria, to the hospital team that took great care of me before and after my shoulder operation. His professionalism and calm demeanor helps to put you at ease from the get go. I'm amazed how fast I could get scheduled and operated on. MRI was done same day of consult. All at a very reasonable cost. Not being able to speak Greek was not a problem at all. Highly recommended.”
