Athina Siampalioti
Anesthesiologist
During my many years of experience in anesthesiology (more than 26 years), I was given the opportunity to provide my services to patients of a wide spectrum of surgical and non-surgical specialties, delivering many different types of anesthesia.
Some of the more challenging groups of patients that I had to anaesthetise were bariatric patients, and living-donor kidney transplant.
I continue my work with the same passion hoping to provide the best care possible and achieve the best results for my patients.
