The word "top" for the scientific level of a doctor certainly fits in the case of Mr. Vourliotakis. A colleague of his referred me. He has saved people and people, he told me, even professors from the university where he has operated. He was right. Meticulous, gentle, attentive to everything. Mr. Vourliotakis is a man. I thank him.
