- Mr Christakis is a wonderful man and a brilliant surgeon. He made me feel at ease from our first meeting and I instantly felt like I was in safe hands. He was very thorough when explaining my surgery to me and answered all my questions. On the day of my surgery, he went through everything again and was very reassuring. I can’t praise Mr Christakis enough and I’m very happy with how neat my scar is looking just a few days post surgery.Doctor's response -Many thanks for trusting me with your care, it has been a pleasure and a privilege looking after you.
