Dr Ioannis Ntanos MD, MA, MBA

Written by a private patient at The Pines Hospital

I had a very pleasant experience both at The Pines and with Mr Ntanos. Mr Ntanos explained everything very clearly and was incredibly nice and cheerful at every step which made me feel very comforted and at ease! He is also very quick to answer any questions/address any concerns.

Mr Ntanos was amazing throughout the process. My only issue along the way was a comment a nurse made. she asked my pronouns and then was ‘relieved’ when I said he/him, and then made a number of comments about how they/them pronouns are confusing and she doesn’t like having to use them. Although it didn’t affect me personally I just didn’t think it was appropriate to be said by a medical professional.

The quality of care from Dr Ntanos was outstanding. The initial consultation was very thorough, and I was made to feel as comfortable and prepared as possible. We discussed any possible risks and how best to mitigate these which helped me feel more confident in the procedure. The surgery itself went smoothly and I am delighted with my results. We have been in contact about post-operative care and any issues I had were taken care of as soon as possible. I would recommend Dr Ntanos to anyone looking to undergo top surgery, as he is very knowledgeable and his bedside manner is 10/10.

I recently had top surgery with Mr Ntanos. He is kind, understanding, professional, thorough, supportive and a true trans ally. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I had top surgery with Mr Ntanos in Jan 2023 as a private patient. Throughout the entire process, I was very impressed by his attentiveness and caring attitude. I always felt respected by him, and appreciated his emphasis upon my understanding and input at every stage — a perfect expression of the principle of informed consent. On the day of my surgery, Mr Ntanos was a very calming presence, and involved me as much as possible in decision making about the specific aesthetic outcomes I was seeking. After the surgery, Mr Ntanos came to check on me to see how I was and to let me know how it went, including telling me that he had to connect my scars during the procedure. He'd informed me about the possibility of this beforehand, so it didn't come as a shock or disappointment, and everything else went very well. I returned to Manchester 2 weeks later to have my dressings removed, and Mr Ntanos made the experience quick and painless. I particularly appreciated him immediately reassuring me that my nipple grafts were healthy, which I was grateful for after 2 weeks of suspense! My scar and nipple placement was exactly what I was hoping for, and I was well informed by Mr Ntanos about how to protect and care for my incisions at home. Following my discharge from the hospital, I was able to send him any worries or queries I had via WhatsApp, and gain reassurance/advice regarding my healing. He has responded to all of my questions very promptly, and I have always felt well supported throughout the healing process, which has gone smoothly overall. It is now 7 months on from my surgery, and my results look absolutely fantastic. I am extremely happy with my new chest, and I cannot recommend Mr Ntanos highly enough.
