I had an excellent experience with Dr. Michail Nikolaidis, who performed my laparoscopic hernia surgery. From the very first consultation, I felt that I was in the hands of a highly experienced and confident specialist. He explained everything clearly, answered my questions, and the whole process – from diagnosis to surgery and follow-up, felt very professional and well organized. Before choosing a surgeon, I also looked into Dr. Nikolaidis’ professional background, and it was very reassuring to see his many years of surgical experience in Greece and Cyprus, as well as additional specialist training in laparoscopic surgery in Austria and Germany. What I appreciated most was his attentiveness during the operation itself. Initially, the ultrasound and the whole pre-operative process were focused on the hernia we already knew about. However, during the surgery Dr. Nikolaidis noticed another small hernia in a different area and repaired it during the same procedure as well. For me, this really showed his experience, thoroughness and genuine care for the patient. He did more than I expected, and I’m extremely grateful for that. Another big advantage for Russian-speaking patients is that Dr. Nikolaidis speaks Russian himself. He also speaks excellent English and Greek, so communication was always easy and comfortable. I’m very grateful to Dr. Nikolaidis for his professionalism, calm approach, attention to detail and excellent care. I truly respect doctors who take this level of responsibility for their work, and I would absolutely trust him again. Bravo and thank you!
