- From the first visit Mr Drampalos took time to fully understand my injury, how it occurred and - equally critically - how I would be affected personally and professionally during my recovery. Throughout my treatment Mr Drampalos was particularly detailed in his explanation of my recovery to that point and the next steps. His patience with my questions was exemplary. The hospital staff and facilities were all first class. I felt genuinely privileged to have been looked after by Mr Drampalos.
- Very happy with the full experience.
- Excellent doctor! Very diligent and highly skilled surgeon.

- I never imagined that I’d need the services of someone like Mr Drampalos… but I could genuinely never have asked for a more diligent, caring & compassionate expert to look after me. I was fully informed, engaged & cared for throughout. 10/10. Could not recommend highly enough.
- Wonderful caring staff and exceptionally caring doctor in recovery advice and final outcome of operation, in terms of look and mobility. Very impressed with him
