The greatest reward for a doctor is the trust of their patients.

My heartfelt thanks to my patient, Kleanthous Augusta, for choosing me to perform her spine surgery and for the trust she placed in me and my medical team.

Moments like these remind us of the true purpose of medicine — to offer quality of life and hope.

These innovations allow even the most complex spinal conditions to be treated with greater precision, safety, and faster recovery.

👨‍⚕️👩‍⚕️ Specialization in spinal health is essential.
The role of spine surgeons, orthopedic and neurosurgical specialists, as well as physiotherapists and other healthcare professionals, is critical for effective prevention, early diagnosis, and successful treatment.

📣 On this day, we highlight the importance of proper posture, regular physical activity, and preventive care for a healthy spine.

🔹 Real Experience 🔹
🩺 Cervical Myelopathy & ACDF Surgery

"I found Dr. Polythodorakis on the internet and trusted him immediately.
I had decided not to undergo surgery, but the doctor inspired confidence from the start.
I was dealing with cervical myelopathy and eventually had an Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF).
15 days after the surgery, I feel great — I haven’t felt any pain or discomfort!
I highly recommend Dr. Polythodorakis if you’re in need of surgery.
I'm also happy to speak with anyone personally and share my experience."

👩‍🦰 Gkioka Angeliki

🙏 We sincerely thank Ms. Angeliki for her trust and kind words.
Her smooth and fast recovery means everything to us.
