Cardiologist with a genuine interest for Medicine and Cardiology, Health and Disease, ill and well-being. Combining a very solid formal education and clinical training with (uncommon) common reasoning and open-mindedness, as well as a genuinely caring approach, we strive to provide patients choices with the highest value added. Services include all conventional Cardiological diagnostic and therapeutic modalities (e.g. electrocardiography, echocardiography, stress testing, ambulatory blood pressure and heart rhythm (Holter) monitoring). In addition, after a lot of preparations (involving and resulting in personal and professional growth), we proudly offer the practice's flagship innovative program, which is cardiovascular disease prevention and reversal through a whole-food plant-based diet. This is guided by the results of many clinical trials and studies as well as the plethoric and highly convincing clinical experience of several pioneering medical doctors, such as Dr Esselstyn, Dr McDougall, Dr Ornish, Dr Barnard to name but a few. Our program is fully comprehensive, meaning that in addition to the medical assessment and monitoring, we also provide education, help, and support along every step of the way towards attaining and thereafter maintaining optimum health. We highly believe that such programs provide a paradigm shift for how we view health and face disease, but also how we treat other sentient beings, how we act as responsible guardians for the environment, and last but not least how we raise thoughtful, caring, healthy, happy children free of mental blind spots, stereotypes, and moral and sentimental confusion. This is, in our view, a truly holistic narrative for Medicine and Cardiology in the 21st century. After all Medicine was never (or should never have been) isolated from the social web we live in, and neither are we nor our practice. Kostis Tsarpalis,
