Dr. Dimitrios Giannakakis, Director of the Department of Gastroenterology, studied medicine as a graduate from the German School of Athens in Giessen, Germany. He then received his specialization in Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology at the academic clinic of Offenbach, where he met Prof. Dr. Nikolaos Zamboglou. His main fields of interest are interventional endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasound, and hepatology.
“Meeting Professor Zamboglou in the early years of my professional career, as well as experiencing his human medical work and wider vision, were the reasons for my arrival to Cyprus.
My personal goal was to create a highly qualified medical team in the Greek-speaking area, which through up-to-date training and a shared view of continuous improvement, would be able to provide the best possible medical care to our patients in a friendly and respectful environment.”
