About the clinic
Ulcerative colitis care at German Medical Institute (GMI) in Limassol, Cyprus, includes diagnostic endoscopy, outpatient management and biologic infusions. Dr. Evangelos Ionas, an inflammatory bowel disease specialist and ECCO member, completed IBD intensive training in 2023.
Ulcerative colitis diagnostics
GMI brings gastroenterology, radiology and histopathology services together at the clinic. Diagnostic and monitoring options include:
- Outpatient gastroenterology consultation with clinical assessment.
- High-definition colonoscopy for checking colitis activity and surveillance. CO2 insufflation may reduce post-procedure discomfort, and propofol is used for sedation.
- Gastroscopy and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) for upper digestive tract examination and imaging.
- Small bowel capsule endoscopy to assess the small bowel when disease may extend beyond the colon.
- Endoscopic biopsy or polypectomy with histopathology to help confirm diagnosis and monitor disease activity.
- CT and MRI imaging, blood tests and endoscopy image reports.
Medical treatment and follow-up
- Biologic therapy infusion is given intravenously in a dedicated day-care unit, without a full hospital admission.
- Long-term outpatient management includes clinic visits, examination, diagnosis, medication prescriptions and scheduled follow-up. A clinical nutritionist and the GMI paramedical team can support care.
The colonoscopy uses an Olympus CF-HQ1100DL scope with NBI, RDI and TXI imaging. Patients typically recover within minutes and leave shortly after the procedure. Biopsy or polypectomy histopathology results are available in about 10–12 days, with written recommendations.
Dr. Ionas has endoscopy training in EMR, polypectomy, hemostasis and clipping. Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss ulcerative colitis care at GMI.

Just finished today at the Oncology centre and i had surgery last week and am now recovering. The experience was absolutely amazing,i am only full of superlatives and look forward to life getting back to normal
I was greeted on day 1 by Antigoni in admissions and shown around i was given my room on the 4th floor and everyone was helpful ,i met a dimitra and Marios i remember who always brought me cool fresh water bottles as i needed to stay hydrated after surgery. On the momemt of surgery which was with the Uroligist Doctor Petros T ,i was also greeted by a lovely, friendly, helpful lady called Katerina,who helped keep me calm before Anesthesia.The sugery was a sucess and my stay in the hospital plus follow ups have been perfect.i highly recommended this place.From the quick turnarounds of surgery as i needed it urgently and to my leave.

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.

I was at the German Oncology centre on Thursday 19 th October 2023.till 21 St October.
I went there for a pacemaker. I want to say everything was perfect from the treatment to operation. 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.
