I saw Dr Costa for the first time over 2 years ago, he helped me and my partner to have a wonderful son and I am now expecting again thanks to Costa taking the time to explain to us about PCOS. Costa always makes me feel very relaxed and reduces my anxiety, It's also nice that he always involves my partner in discussions.
Thank you for everything.

Having had many dealings with doctors over the years I find this consultant to be exceptionally easy to talk to. Not only is he approachable but he makes sure that you have a clear understanding of any diagnosys, treatments or further investigations required. He takes time to explain all details in simple terms and ensures that you fully understand what he has said.
He does not make you feel that you are unimportant and just another patient, but always takes his time with your appointment and makes you feel that he has all the time necessary for you so that when you leave you know that he has done all that he can to help you with your problem.

I have had many dealings with doctors/consultants and Dr Panyotidis stands out above the rest on so many levels. He is an outstanding doctor, he shows genuine compassion for his patients and will always take the to explain to you what is happening, even with drawings and diagrams at times. He is always prepared when I see him and has actually read my notes so I do not feel like I am repeating myself or just another person in the system. He is extremely knowledgeable and gives the impression he wants to learn more and make positive changes to his industry. I always feel at ease during my appointments and fully trust that I am getting the best level of care and advice as possible. I feel like I am treated like an individual and listened to during my appointments. I have even rescheduled and waited longer for an appointment rather than see another consultant. Dr Panayotidis has a real passion for making a difference to his patients. He is a real credit to St Mary’s Hospital and anyone who has him as their doctor is extremely lucky and can be assured they will receive the best care and advice available.

Dr Panayotidis is an excellent doctor. He is very personable and is very helpful in every appointment. I feel that he goes over and above the service I have been provided by others before for example scanning me to identify a major placenta previa early rather than leaving it until another date. With an impending c section and anxiety of the possible symptoms of the previa I am grateful to have Dr Panayotidis as my consultant. I would certainly recommend his care.
He always has time and is very detailed with explanations.

Previously a fertility patient and thanks to tests performed and medication prescribed by Mr Panayotidis we are now expecting our daughter any day now. We have had to see Mr Panayotidis for pregnancy complications in recent months also. We have always found him very approachable, professional, knowledgeable and can not thank him enough for the care he has provided.
