I had been suffering from Calcific Tendonitis in my left shoulder for over three months, resulting in severe pain. Before I learned about Ms. Plagou, I had tried anti-inflammatory medications, cortisone injections, physiotherapy, all without success, and I was on the verge of serious surgery with doubtful outcomes.
I underwent Barbotage in her clinic very easily, quickly, and painlessly. As soon as the brief procedure was over, my pain ceased, I slept well, and I quickly resumed all my activities.
I want to thank Ms. Plagou both for the impeccable handling of my problem stemming from her excellent scientific training, as well as for her kindness and friendly demeanor.

I am very grateful to Dr. Athena Plagou. With her high specialization and professionalism, she accurately diagnosed and successfully treated the tendonitis I suffered from in both of my shoulders.
Other specialists I had consulted previously had suggested arthroscopy, which I did not want to undergo due to my age (86) and because the treatment was not guaranteed.
With the special method used by Dr. Plagou, the fluid causing the pain was absorbed, and the pain was immediately relieved without recurrence for the past four months. Besides her high specialization and effectiveness, Dr. Plagou is also very friendly and fully explains to patients the cause of the problem and the treatment process. Her assistant is also very friendly and efficient. Sincere thanks again.

Her experience, her thoroughness and her love for what she does make her one of a kind. My daughter suffered for months with pain in her wrist. Having visited several orthopedists, having done magnetic resonance imaging and x-rays, only Mrs. Plagou found that she had fluid in her wrist and referred us to a pediatric rheumatologist.
I recommend her. Her assistant is also extremely helpful and kind.

I want to publicly thank my colleague Athena Plagou for her immediate and effective intervention to treat the problem in my shoulder. The Barbotage method she applied, and in which she is specialized, quickly relieved me from the painful symptoms of Calcific Tendonitis. The return to my daily routine was immediate.

For 4 months, I suffered from terrible pain that extended from my shoulder to my wrist, making every movement difficult. I underwent various treatments without any results.
Finally, I visited Ms. Plagou. After an ultrasound, she told me that my condition was treatable. She performed fluid aspiration and injected anti-inflammatory medication into the shoulder joint.
Two days later, the pain completely subsided, and I truly couldn't believe that my hand had fully recovered. I am extremely satisfied with the result and overall with how informative the doctor was and how kind and helpful her assistants were.
Dr. Panagiotis Karakoulis
From my personal experience, I must say that the doctor operates with scientific consistency and empathy. She interprets her findings in a simple, understandable, and informative manner.
The doctor's office is welcoming and clean. The reception staff are very polite and helpful. Appointments are kept punctually. Conclusion: An exemplary medical practice. I highly recommend it without reservation.
Ultrasonographic Evaluation of the Knee
Ultrasonography is one of the most widespread diagnostic methods for musculoskeletal system imaging. Images are obtained after the production and detection of ultrasonic waves based on the piezoelectric phenomenon from transducers, allowing the study of tissues based on their physical characteristics.
