Laparoscopic Gynecological Surgery Athens, Greece

Dr Harry and his team are great. The hospital is nice and modern. Communication despite my coming from the UK was quick and in good English. Could be a little more by way of confirmation eg a formal email with how to prepare etc but maybe we are too big on that in the UK. The surgery went smoothly. There was an extra last-minute cost but the doctor split the cost with me which was kind. I wished I had a single room though and upgraded, I didn’t sleep as my roommate and her husband talked every hour of the night. There are no privacy curtains around the beds. Also, bring snacks!!! The hospital doesn’t feed you in the 24 hours after surgery due to the anaesthetic. So the only pain I remember is hunger! Everything else was great

After a few bad experiences with IVF clinics we heard about a clinic in Greece by common friends. There we met Dr. Duolotis, who from the first meeting, showed us a level of care and professionalism that we have not found elsewhere. He's been very proactive in suggesting tailored solutions to our specific issue, and we managed to get 4 embryos out of the process and now we're expecting twins. If you are used to the coldness of clinics in the UK that too often make you feel like a number, then you'll find a completely different story with Dr duolotis, who really cares deeply about his patients, and goes the extra mile to get them where they want to be.

I had a truly wonderful experience with Dr. Garavelas in Greece. From the very first consultation, he made me feel comfortable, informed, and cared for. He takes the time to listen, explains everything clearly, and approaches each case with both professionalism and genuine empathy. His team is also outstanding — warm, organised, and always ready to help. Throughout the process, I felt supported and confident that I was in the best hands. I highly recommend Dr. Garavelas to anyone looking for expert and compassionate care.

At the beginning of my IVF journey, I messaged several different clinics/doctors, as it's always good to have some comparison. From the responses I got, and after the initial message exchanges, it quickly became clear Dr. Bazeos would be my best choice - he always replied promptly to all questions I had, in a logical organised manner. There was no pressure to decide 'here and now'; I could ask questions and Dr. Bazeos always answered, even though he had no guarantee I'd choose to do the treatment with him! He also speaks excellent English, which was important to me. I had the treatment (IVF) in the IASO hospital in Athens. I was surprised how big and busy the hospital is. Sometimes there were small delays probably because of the number of patients, but it didn't really matter because I was on holidays anyway. In a way I was reassured I made a good choice - so many other people were having treatment at IASO as well! I had 4 appointments during the 2-week period of taking hormonal injections. Dr. Bazeos always answered all questions, even though sometimes he was super busy, and was always happy to help if I needed anything (e.g. finding medication). Then, there were the most important parts - egg retrieval, fertilisation and embryo transfer. After each stage, with every little success, I was more and more optimistic the IVF would end in a pregnancy. I was extremely happy each time I learned something went well, and so was Dr. Bazeos – I am sure he has done thousands of IVF cycles before, but he seemed genuinely happy for me & always wished me good luck. And now the best part – I am pregnant!!! 😊 It is, of course, still early, and I realise things can go wrong, but still… This was my first IVF cycle and I’m so happy I chose Dr. Bazeos. He is a very knowledgeable specialist & I fully trust his decisions. I’d definitely make the same choice if I had to do it again.

Absolutely amazing clinic. My baby daughter has only recently arrived. They are completely focused on providing individual, personalised care from the start. I cannot thanks Penny and the team for making our family complete!
