Dr Joannis Vamvakopoulos 2022-11-28 Person 5 5 0

Dr Vamvakopoulos is a consultant endocrinologist and I have been treated by him since 2021. I have a complex medical and surgical history and Dr Vamvakopoulos came to the first interview having read my notes and thoroughly familiarised himself with my condition/s and previous treatment. He is remarkably thorough and well-informed; I have seen four specialists, in this field, over ten years, all have been good, but Dr Vamvakopoulos is outstanding and has made more difference than any other to my quality of life. His manner is always professional, kind and friendly. He takes care to clearly any changes to drugs/investigations required (or not required). He also addresses the concerns that are most important to me too - whether or not they might be a medical priority. He has demonstrated considerable empathy, whilst staying focussed on what he can do, as my specialist. We are very fortunate to have someone of this calibre still working so hard for the NHS. I wholeheartedly recommend him and do hope we manage to keep him here!
