I started my professional career as a Medical Doctor (MD) 10 years ago, after a series of medicine studies with outstanding degrees, my specialization in internal medicine and practicing in a number of public and private hospitals in Greece.

Since then I am successfully running a private medical practice, in parallel to my full time employment at the public medical institution of Greece (IKA). In both areas, my patients, co-workers and managers recognize me as a Medical Doctor with excellent knowledge of internal medicine and with a long track of right diagnoses, even at complex and emergency medical cases.

- I have always dealt my patients in a professional manner, taking as long as it is needed to explain in comprehensive language the situation, potential risks and recommended treatment.

- The working relationship with my colleagues (MDs, but also nursing and administration personnel) is based on mutual respect, support and in many cases mentoring, as we clearly build on our success as a team.

- My managers do acknowledge my pleasant personality, human approach to my daily medical practice, honest and open communication, but also my willingness to take the ‘extra mile’ in demanding circumstances.

I strongly believe that every medical case should be approached holistically and I personally never underestimate the importance of the psychological and social parameters. This is an underlying principle of my medical practice from which I never deviate.

Interests

My interests are unfortunately circumscribed by my heavy workload but are nonetheless important in my life. I am an amateur painter and I find great pleasure in following most art forms whenever I find the time. I also enjoy particularly participating in community activities, especially those targeted to addressing problems of those people that are most in need. I have been active in supporting refugees in settlements located nearest to my home town, in whatever ways I was able to contribute.
