I first met Mr Kolias to discuss the removal of my pituitary macro-adenoma. He took time to explain the tumour and the procedure details. He offered me two possible surgery dates in the next month. On the day he met with me prior to the surgery to reassure me and make sure all was in order. He removed the adenoma and as a result, my vision had been restored when I woke up (it was not a given that it would). After the surgery, Mr Kolias visited daily at the ward. After a CSF leak post my return home, he was fast in getting me back in the ward to avoid any possible Meningitis. He was very kind and direct when informing me of the steps to deal with the leak, which was dealt with successfully. in the consultation to review the surgery outcome he took time to explain the MRI and what the results meant for me. I can't thank him enough and I definitely recommend him. He is a world-class expert and very caring for his patients. Thank you very much!

Mr Angelos Kolias and his team were most professional in the way they cared for me, pre-op, during the operation and all through the post-op phases.
He took me through the MRI scans and tests and explained very clear to my wife and myself what the issue was, why I needed an operation, the operation procedure and the post-op care that I needed.
The operation was a great success, especially given the size of the tumour and I made an excellent recovery with very little issues.
His team took great care of myself too during the time I was in hospital recovering from the surgery, and I could not ask for better support. Even though I caught Covid-19 whilst in the ward, Mr Kolias and his team continued to monitor my progress and visited me every day.
In summary, I simply could not ask for a better team to operate on me! We are very grateful to have met such a wonderful team.

Utterly clear and honest explanation of condition and treatment/operation.
Able to ask questions and discuss matters on review. Found the discussion while viewing scans most helpful in visualising tumour.
Always friendly and yet professional.
Consideration shown to Joyce my wife on the occasions when she was present, recognising how much she was involved.

He explained the problem and showed us the scans and how he would remove it. He said he anticipated it would be a Meningioma and could be removed. He explained the scar and that the operation would be likely to take about 5 hours. We met with him prior to surgery and he reassured us that surgery would be as he had previously explained. After surgery Mr Kolias called my wife and told her the operation had gone very well and all of the tumour had been removed and that I was in recovery and she could visit me there. My care in recovery was carried out by Alex and she was excellent. Care on the ward was also excellent.
At follow up appointment Mr Kolias showed us the latest scans and was pleased with the result, he checked my scar and said it had healed well. He explained that I will have a further scan in a few months.
