After completing his military service with the Greek Air Force, he got a prestigious scholarship to train in Ophthalmology in the UK.

He undertook his ophthalmic surgical training in London and Cambridge. After completing his residency, he trained for two further years at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge. During this time he further honed his skills in complex cataract and corneal surgery.

From the start of my medical training, I was captivated by ophthalmology’s unique blend of precision, technology, and meaningful patient impact. The ability to preserve or restore sight remains my greatest motivation. As a consultant, I strive to pair clinical excellence with empathy, providing care that protects vision and restores confidence.
