I have had several consultants over the years in cardiology, gastroenterology and one or two others. Nick is without doubt not only the best of them but the best physician I have ever interacted with. He combines world class technical capabilities with honest, straightforward, diligent and user friendly characteristics. I am a PhD life scientist and run a biotech company developing cancer drugs. Naturally I asked hundreds of questions. Nick always took the time to answer and never saw it as a challenge. He is an asset to you.

Slipping rib Syndrome Mr. Panagiotopoulos always explained the issue and exactly what he intended to do to rectify the condition. The procedure was explained as being a very minor operation and that is exactly what it was with a very short recovery time. I didn’t use the painkillers prescribed as the effects of the surgery were so minimal.

Mr Nikolaos Panagiotopoulos, was in communication with me from the beginning. I immediately felt reassured by his calm, friendly, highly professional manner. He kept me informed of my treatment every step of the way, he has always been available to answer any of my questions and concerns in detail, which I greatly appreciate. He is clearly very dedicated to his profession and wanting to achieve the very best for patients. I always felt safe, comfortable and reassured knowing that he was doing the very best for me. I will always highly recommend Mr Nik Panagiotopoulos to anyone who I feel would benefit from such a highly skilled, dedicated Surgeon. He also has a natural ability to put his patient at ease and make them laugh, which I believe helps very much with healing.

I initially found Nick through his website offering the ability to perform Robotic surgeries. From the moment we contacted him he reassured us about the entire process and procedure. We opted for a robotic method as this meant the invasiveness of the procedure was greatly reduced over the option offered by the NHS. Nick pushed to get the operation booked in as early as he could, knowing that we wanted to get it completed quickly. On the day of the operation and throughout the entire process, he kept checking in on me, ensuring I was OK and well looked after. The operation was successful and he completely removed my Thymus gland in full. This meant my symptoms for myasthenia have been greatly reduced. Nick is fantastic and passionate about what he does, and more than that empathetic to the needs of his patients, ensuring they are given the best treatment possible. I would have no hesitation in recommending Nick to my family and friends and thank him for improving my quality of life.

Dr Nik was fabulous from start to finish. I was made to feel at ease and he was always positive and excited by the prospect of my operation which made me trust him and his abilities. The robot he used was I believable, which of course speaks to his skills. The size of the three incisions are tiny compared to what I would have had without this robot and the level of equipment and skills of Dr Nik are outstanding. I’m over the moon with my prognosis and the scars I’m left with. I can’t recommend Dr Nik enough.

My consultant was very quick at diagnosing my condition and providing options. He was very reassuring and explained all the details and possible risks involved in the procedure. He took great care in making sure I was comfortable on the day of the operation and in providing feedback after the surgery. I would definitely recommend him.

Nik is a very special surgeon :-) He is undoubtedly at the top of his game in thoracic surgery and has a great track record, which of course is essential... but beyond that, he genuinely cares about his patients. From the first contact, Nik has been approachable and accessible - he has been available on text since the first call and mostly responds within minutes, which is remarkable given his busy schedule. He is always on top of what is happening with you - visiting once or twice every day I was in hospital and also talking to the nursing / support teams. He is extremely thorough and clear in his responses to your concerns, providing his view and backing it up with facts and reasoning. You always feel involved in your care. He also actively searches for solutions to issues and symptoms - and connects you quickly to the right people to support you. Above it all, he has a great warmth and humanity about him. As an example, he took the time to speak to my husband face-to-face in the lobby after my surgery, and spoke to my husband at length post-hospitalisation when he sent a text. Sometimes, these are the extra touches that really make the difference to you as a human being. Thank you Nik!

An outstanding surgeon who elegantly achieves the balance between superb clinical care and the knowledge that in the end, I am a person, not a "case". Nick has performed extensive chest surgery for me, and never once did I have any doubts about my choice in him as my surgeon. He's one of the best!

I received an absolutely outstanding level of care from Nick, especially important as due to previous events, I was extremely nervous about the whole procedure. I'd recommend him without hesitation.

From the first consultation this doctor put me at ease, he listened to what i wanted to achieve as a result, he took into consideration my lifestyle when advising what the best procedure would be to fix my issue. Nikolaos visited me every day while i was in the hospital to check i was ok and healing. Two weeks after the surgery i had a video call with Nikolaos and he was happy with how i was progressing, he gave me realistic expectations on my recovery and advised what i should and shouldn't be done. Extremely happy with the whole process and can honestly say this procedure has changed my life! So thank you to Mr Nikolaos Panagiotopoulos for doing an amazing job with my body!
