Nikos Koutsogoulas

I visited my doctor and friend now, Nikos Koutsogula, 4 years ago, suffering from a huge post-operative abdominal hernia. I had previously undergone an open gastric bypass operation due to obesity and a second operation due to a complication of the first. When I spoke with the doctor I was amazed at the way he explained my problem and most importantly, the exact plan of what he will do in the surgery to restore my abdominal wall. The operation was successful and today I am able to do any physical activity without any problems. Mainly I would like to mention his simplicity which disarms you and despite the big surgeries he performs he immediately becomes your friend

I used to have a big problem with obesity. I am 1.85 m tall and weighed 230 kg 2 years ago. Due to difficult, long hours and heavy work, my daily life had become unbearable. Joint pain, shortness of breath at rest, increased blood pressure. I decided after many visits to nutritionists, pathologists and surgeons, to trust Mr. Koutsogulas. He won me over from the first meeting with his scientific proficiency, his simple way of approaching me and his confidence. He operated on my "mother" and performed a laparoscopic elongated gastrectomy, the so-called sleeve. Everything went well. I had no complications or side effects and was back home in 3 days and back to work (vulcanizer) in 10 days. Today I weigh 90 kg. I am a completely different person and I want, by writing this, to express my gratitude to him.

9 years ago, I had a severe, urgent, surgical problem due to acute gangrenous cholecystitis. The fact that I had given birth 20 days before (C-section) and was in the caesarean section made the situation even more difficult. I entered the operating room under adverse conditions with a high fever, intense pain and great difficulty and exhaustion. Being a doctor and understanding the magnitude of my problem burdened my psychology even more. But my doctor, Nikos Koutsogoulas, was cool and always complacent towards me. He performed a laparoscopic cholecystectomy with complete success and stood by me with firmness and care. I was discharged in 3 days and returned home to my newborn son, in excellent condition. Thank you Nick.

A big thank you to my doctor Nikos Koutsogoulas. I am 82 years old and 2 and a half years ago, I was diagnosed with stomach malignancy. I was anemic and weak and my children forced me to take tests. They recommended Mr. Koutsogoulas to me as a good and attentive surgeon, so I went to visit him. His physiognomy, an element of great importance to me, won me at once my esteem. After explaining everything to me in detail (what he will do and the possible complications), he told me that it is a big operation and that he will try to do everything for me. He had also operated on my sister's pancreas and I knew this to be true. He operated on me in "health", all went well and now my tests are crystal clear, my oncologist is happy and I'm still drinking my chips (not much) in the health of the surgeon who saved my life.
