We are forever grateful to Dr Vassilis, he performed a laser surgery to my mother’s left leg as she suffered from Deep Vain Thrombosis and after the surgery she felt like a new person! Dr Vassilis is also a very humble, caring and kind person and always super responsive.

Dr. Vassilis took great interest holistically in my condition (not just focusing on my veins) he was very meticulous in my exam. he supported me with courtesy phone call 1 month after my operation when i suffered from another hand condition ,to make sure it was unrelated to op.
