"Better to regret something you did than for something you failed to do"

Mr. Galanis is a doctor with years of experience and passion for his work. From a young age he felt an attraction to medicine, probably fascinated by the primitive satisfaction that all children feel in the idea of ​​helping the fellow man and not because he really knew what he was, as he himself says.

The final decision was made during his school years, and in particular in high school, when his wish prevailed of his other interests.

One of them was the music with which it still maintains a special relationship today. In terms of specialty, his choice was not the result of strategic planning, but a series of events led him to vascular surgery.

In the future, surgeries will change drastically, with technology playing an increasingly important role. From hybrid halls to artificial intelligence, developments are rapid. However, despite progress, man must always have the final say in his health decisions

An inspirational mentor who appeared at the right time, the professional satisfaction he felt through the successful therapies and the supporting environment he found in his field were factors that contributed to his decision to follow this specialty.

For him, surgery is a place where decisions are made experientially, through experiences, challenges and dedication, certainly possessing self -evident academic qualifications.

His experience in Germany and Switzerland for the 18 years he lived in these countries has certainly been important in his evolution, as he offered him knowledge, skills and a specific perspective on medicine.

But no matter where he was trained, he believes that family support is just as important to devote one into a field with extremely laborious and long -term training without defined hours.

His patience, love and understanding of his family allowed him to be fully devoted to his work. His decision to return to Greece was not based on professional goals, but on a deeper - perhaps nostalgic - need to return home.

Although he had no specific plans when he returned, the evolution of his career in Greece filled him with satisfaction. For him, the return to the homeland was mainly of moral value and less professional, which proved to be an excellent decision.

Compared to the health systems of Germany and Switzerland, Mr Galanis considers the Greek health system different, as each country has its own cultural and economic background.

However, it avoids making immediate comparisons, preferring to draw positive elements from each system and avoid the negatives. Concerning technological developments in his specialty, Mr. Galanis believes that in Greece, especially in the private sector, all global developments are followed.

The techniques and know -how applied to vascular surgery respond to international standards, ensuring a high level of care for patients.

The physician and his team offer a full range of services to patients who trust them, from clinical examination and the organization of diagnostic tests to the most up -to -date vascular surgery.

Abdominal aorta interventions, carotids, and venous disease therapy techniques, such as laser, are just some of the specialized interventions they offer.

He also has extensive experience in the peripheral bypasses for the treatment of peripheral arterial disease as well as in the creation of hemodialysis.

In addition to the specialty of vascular surgery, Mr. Galanis has also acquired general surgery as well as other specialties such as intravascular surgery, emergency medicine, and radiation protection.

For 13 years he has been a Vascular Surgery Technician trainer at the Vascular International School based in Switzerland. He is also active as a research associate at the Anatomy Laboratory at the Medical School of the NCSR, where he teaches the anatomy lesson to medical students.

In the future, the physician sees the surgeries change drastically, with technology playing an increasingly important role. From hybrid halls to artificial intelligence, developments are rapid.

However, he remains stable in his belief that, despite progress, man must always have the final say in decisions about his health. In Greece, although the culture around preventive medicine is not as developed as in other countries, progress is observed.

Mr. Galanis always tries to inform his patients about the need for prevention, especially for silent disease, such as carotid disease and abdominal aortic aneurysm. Despite the demanding nature of his profession, the doctor finds time for his hobbies, with music having a special place in his life.

As for his motto, it is clear: "Better to regret something you did, rather than something you failed to do." His professional motto focuses on the fact that in vascular surgery, what is technically possible is not always human prudent.
