I would like to thank Mr Christakis, Julie and his team. After knowingly having an over active parathyroid for about 8 years and being advised to have 3 monthly blood tests and drink about 3 litres of fluid a day - a friend recommended Mr Christakis and I am so glad he did as he removed 2 diseased parathyroid glands and moved another - I am now feeling better than I have for years - the histology came back that the two remaining are healthy. A lovely gentleman who did his very best for me ..
