Mr Stellakis’ comfort and patient satisfaction scores are excellent, and he is audited on a regular basis.

Originally qualifying in Medicine from the University of Bristol in 1991, Mr Stellakis trained at a number of institutes of excellence in London, Paris and Strasbourg, before completing a fellowship in laparoscopic bowel surgery at Frimley Park Hospital in 2004.
