The Surgeon
Panagiotis P. Papadopoulos MD, MSc is an orthopaedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist, Deputy Director of the 3rd Orthopaedic Clinic at HYGEIA Hospital.

Shoulder and knee surgery are areas where the surgeon’s specific experience shows in the result. This is a practice concentrated on those two joints rather than spread across all of orthopaedics.

English-Speaking Orthopaedic Care in Athens
Whether you have settled here, are on a work assignment, are studying, or are simply visiting – dealing with an injury in an unfamiliar health system is its own problem. This practice is set up to remove that.
No referral needed
You can book an appointment directly. There is no gatekeeping step to get through first.
Seen at short notice
If something has just happened and you are only in Athens for a limited time, say so when you call. Injuries that need assessing this week are treated as such.
Everything in English
Consultations, examination findings, your treatment plan, follow-up and any surgical discussion. You will not be relying on a translation of your own diagnosis.
Private and international insurance
Employer schemes, international policies and travel insurance are accepted, subject to the terms of your policy. We can advise on what your insurer will typically require.
Two locations
Glyfada for the southern suburbs and the coast, Marousi for the northern suburbs and the centre.
Records you can take with you
You leave with imaging and reports in English, in a form another doctor can work from — whether that is next month or in another country.

Consultations take place at the private practice in Glyfada and at the 3rd Orthopaedic Clinic at HYGEIA in Marousi - both fully equipped for orthopaedic assessment and treatment in modern facilities.

What Our Patients Say
Coming to Greece for Treatment
Patients also travel to Greece for orthopaedic surgery — for experienced specialist surgeons, private hospital facilities comparable to Western Europe, and lower costs.
If you are considering it, email your MRI or X-ray report with a short description of your symptoms and you will receive an assessment before you commit to travelling. Surgery is performed at HYGEIA Hospital in Marousi. Private and international insurance is accepted subject to pre-approval, and you will be told how long to plan to stay and how rehabilitation can be continued at home.
