- Great at explaining to me the cause for my shoulder pain and offered me all relevant treatment options. Highly recommended.
- Went in with shoulder pain, came out with a diagnosis, a plan and nearly a PhD in shoulder biomechanics. Dr. Pantelis has a great talent for explaining exactly what’s wrong without making you feel rushed or overwhelmed. He goes out of his way to walk you through the options and reassure you every step of the way. My shoulder might still be a work in progress but at least now I’m wiser (and in very good hands). Highly recommend.
- Dr.Tsantanis is professional, methodical, and very attentive. He listened to me carefully, examined me thoroughly, and explained everything in an easy to understand way. He provided me a clear plan and follow-up, and I left feeling reassured.I would recommend to a friend.
- Dr. Tsantilanis provided exceptional care for my shoulder injury sustained during judo training. After minimal assistance from my GP, I sought his expertise. His thorough ultrasound assessment and comprehensive treatment plan, which included physiotherapy, significantly improved my condition. Just two weeks later, I regained full mobility and began a staged return to advanced exercises. Three months on, I joyfully resumed judo classes. I am immensely grateful for Dr. Tsantilanis's dedication.
- Very happy with the outcome following my surgery. Also the feedback was very well explained giving me a full understanding of what was actually done to improve the issue I had
