I want to sincerely thank Dr. Andreas Filis. He performed an excellent surgery on my father and helped him get rid of tumor. From the very first meeting, Dr. Filis was very kind, explained everything clearly, and acted professionally. We felt like we were in safe hands. The surgery was very successful thanks to his skill. We are endlessly grateful to him for everything he has done for our family. Dr. Filis is not only a great doctor but also a sincere and caring person. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced and trustworthy neurosurgeon.

A new building in a great location. The clinic is very clean, and the staff is friendly. I had a cosmetic surgeon with Dr. Iakovos Georgiou, and everything went perfectly. The doctor and his team were extremely professional, and I’m beyond happy with the results. If anyone says there’s no quality surgery in Cyprus, they just haven’t been here.

All the nursing staff and doctors are excellent. I was in the I C U unit. Plus the food was delicious. I had been operated in a nice clean and professional clinic. Well done to all.

Unprofessional service provided by the director of the infectious diseases department of the institute. Incorrect diagnosis and improper treatment, if it can even be called treatment. As for their dermatologists, it’s better to remain silent—utterly lacking in professionalism. Steer clear of this so-called “medical” institution.
