He listened to everything i said and asked before answering me. I felt he gave me as much information as possible, even checking for further information on line whilst speaking to me. I consider him to be a caring and informative specialist who made me feel ok with my diagnosis and treatment i was going to receive. I am thankful for his support.

I was in a pretty bad way having been rushed into hospital to have a problematic pituitary tumour removed. I couldn't see much as my optic nerves were being affected by the tumour so I was somewhat disoriented.
All the Addenbrookes staff were wonderful but Mr Kolias was superb. He explained my situation very clearly so that I understood what was going to happen every step along the way. His calm manner immediately put me at ease. He took great interest in what I was saying, in particular my wanting to get my sight back so that I could see my new grandson for the first time. I have no hesitation in saying that I was blessed to have Mr. Kolias performing my surgery. As far as I'm concerned, he saved my life and I will be forever in his debt.

Mr Kolias is exceptional. Before my operation he was very patient and explained everything I needed to know, this was very reassuring. On the day of my operation, once again, he made me feel comfortable about what was going to happen. When Mr Kolias visited me on the ward after my operation, he explained what had happened during my operation, I felt very reassured again.
I will never be able to thank him enough for saving my eyesight, I feel very humbled. His team and all my nurses were wonderful.

Mr Kolias is an amazing medical practitioner. My Husband came under his care as an emergency admission to Addenbrookes in November 2022 following a cycle accident that left him with a TBI. At every step of the way Mr Kolias was compassionate & kind. For someone who must see this kind of injury frequently, he has not lost empathy for the families of the patients & acknowledging the trauma they are going through too. He always listened to my concerns, and explained everything to me clearly. I could not of asked for my Husband to have come under the care of anyone better.

My experience of the consultation with Mr Angelos Kolas and his colleagues was exemplary.
The explanation of my injury and what outcome I could expect were very clear and precise which I could fully understand.
I also learnt a lot about my injury and the possible long term effects.
The care and compassion I received from the N&NUH and this team was amazing and made me feel very lucky to have the NHS.
I also appreciate that Mr Kolas has to travel from Addenbrookes which is an added benefit for patients that live locally.
I don't have any suggestions for improvement only to keep up the fantastic work.
