“ Dr Papagapiou is a genius. He removed a distal plate and at the same time removed a thick ugly scar. He found that the previous surgery had resulted in my nerve being in the wrong place so he repositioned. The results are amazing and he has the most compelling and friendly manner. I was referred by an ex patient and would recommend him in a heartbeat.”

“ My 73 year old mom was hit by a car which resulted in 2 broken legs and a broken hand and head laceration. Dr Papagapiou needed to perform 5 procedures via 3 surgeries - the first one on the night of the injury and 2 more that followed over the course of the next week. Dr Papagapiou has been incredible throughout. We have appreciated his expertise and superb talent, how he has kept us informed the whole way through and his kind and gentle bedside manner. Thank you so much Harry for helping my mom and giving her the best possible chance of recovery and a good life again.”
