I provide a full comprehensive shoulder, elbow service for degenerate disease and sports injuries, promoting good medical practice. My approach is holistic and multidisciplinary, and I work closely with Orthopaedic consultants and other skilled health professionals, to provide a caring and evidence-based treatment for my patients.

I hold a substantive post as 'Trauma and Orthopaedic Consultant' and 'Trauma Lead' in Queen's Hospital, London (Barking Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals Trust), specialising in shoulder, elbow and wrist surgery.

'I am passionate about medical training and teaching, and was awarded with the 'Trainer of the year" award for 2021, from the Royal London Hospital Orthopaedic and Trauma Society (RLHOTS).

As 'Unit Training Director and Research Lead' for the orthopaedic department in Basildon Hospital, I received the award for the best orthopaedic department for trainees in the RLHOTS rotation for 2021. I structure and run courses on upper limb surgery while being a member of faculty for shoulder surgery cadaveric labs in Paris.

I have completed two substantive upper limb fellowships; in Royal Free London focusing in shoulder arthroplasty and arthroscopies, and in Royal London Hospital focusing on shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand complex trauma as well as elective upper limb surgery.

I graduated from the University of Athens Medical School in 2003. During my specialist orthopaedic training, I acquired experience and skills in the whole spectrum of orthopaedics, obtaining the Fellow of European Board of Orthopaedics and Traumatology (FEBOT) and Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England (FRCS) diplomas. In 2009, I obtained my MSc in 'Metabolic Bone Disorders' from University of Athens Medical School.
