Θα ήθελα να ευχαριστήσω τον κύριο Μιχαηλίδη που ανέλαβε και χειρούργησε την μητέρα μου. Πριν ενάμιση μήνα υποβλήθηκε σε ολική αρροπλαστική ισχίου και από την πρώτη μέρα σηκώθηκε χωρίς πόνο και ήδη μπορεί και περπατάει ακόμα και χωρίς μπαστούνι. Θα ήθελα να προσθέσω ότι μας έκανε τρομερή εντύπωση πόσο πολύ την πρόσεξε λόγω ηλικίας, είναι 76, την εμψύχωσε και μας ενημέρωσε ώστε να μην έχουμε καμία απορία και να ξέρουμε ακριβώς πως να αντιμετωπίσουμε όλη αυτή την κατάσταση. Είναι πραγματικά καταπληκτικός άνθρωπος και έμπειρος επιστήμονας.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Dr. Dimitri Michailidis Completed my second knee replacement surgery (Arthroplasty)on October 5, 2022 with Excellent results. On July 5, 2022 (3 months ago) Dr. Dimitri Michailidis performed a first knee replacement (Arthroplasty) on my left knee also with great success! All the care, time and follow through by Dr. Michailidis made for winning results. With tremendous gratitude I thank you. I highly recommend you. Your expertise changed my life. I now have two brand new knees that should last the rest of my life, in perfect working order and no longer living with chronic and debilitating pain. Previous post: I went to see Dr. Dimitri Michailidis Because I no longer had quality of life. Both my knees reminded me everyday with pain with each step and continued to escalate. I was extremely sendentary because too painful to walk for any length of time. Also when I would sit too long I had severe leg, foot a back cramps. Once the Dr. Dimitri Michailidis did a left total knee replacement on July 5, 2022 to relieve me of pain, stiffness and very limited mobility he gave me back my life. I am very happy and thrilled with the results and am planning to have the right total knee replacement on October 5, 2022. as I had the surgery the following day the Dr. Started me on physical therapy for five weeks. I no longer have any pain. I can walk, travel, shop and take back and enjoy my life.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Ο κύριος Μιχαηλίδης ανέλαβε την αφαίρεση υλικών παλαιάς εκτεταμένης οστεοσύνθεσης από το άνω ήμισυ του μηριαίου μου. Η επέμβαση πραγματοποιήθηκε τον Αύγουστο του 2022 σε πολύ καλή κλινική στα Χανιά, χωρίς προβλήματα, χωρίς αιμορραγία ή άλλες επιπλοκές, με τεχνική που εξασφάλισε γρήγορη και ανώδυνη ανάρρωση και με τη χρήση ενδοδερμικής πλαστικής συρραφής για την εξασφάλιση του καλύτερου δυνατού αισθητικού αποτελέσματος (όσο το δυνατόν λεπτότερης ουλής). Επιπλέον, ήταν πολύ ευγενικός, υπομονετικός και υποστηρικτικός σε όλη τη συνεργασία μας. Μου εξήγησε πολύ αναλυτικά όλη τη διαδικασία της επέμβασης και της ανάρρωσης, άκουσε όλους μου τους φόβους και απάντησε όλες μου τις απορίες ακούραστα, ενώ ήταν συνέχεια διαθέσιμος, δείχνοντας και μεγάλο προσωπικό ενδιαφέρον, για οτιδήποτε μπορεί να τον χρειαζόμουν τόσο πριν όσο και μετά την επέμβαση. Τον ευχαριστώ πολύ και τον συστήνω ανεπιφύλακτα.
Dr Michaidis’ expertise and compassionate care have transformed my life. I can’t thank him enough.
