I had tonsillectomy done with Dr Leontsinis in Spire Washington. I struggled with chronic tonsillitis since I was a kid, however I’ve never been offered to have them removed. After a bad episode of tonsillitis I went for a consultation with Dr Leonthsinis. He gave me his honest opinion, warning or difficult recovery, such as severe pain, possible bleeding or infection after tonsillectomy on one hand either, or struggling with tonsillitis all my life several times a year on the other hand. I decided to have it done and I must say I received the best service and medical care possible from Dr Leontsinis and Spire Washington. And I would definitely recommend. If you decide to go for a surgery like this, please choose good trusted places and Doctors

Mr Leontsinis was very approachable, explained everything thoroughly to me, made sure I was 100% happy with what was going to happen. Great experience!
5
Professional and calm. He explained what was going to happen and why.

From start to finish Mr Leontsinis was a true professional. He made me feel at ease and provided me with information in a calm, clear manner. Following an initial consultation and x-ray scan, Mr Leontsinis identified the cause of the symptoms I was experiencing, and conducted a successful operation to remedy these symptoms. In the weeks following the operation, I met with Mr Leontsinis on two separate occasions where he guided me through the healing process and answered any questions/ allayed any concerns I had. I struggle to think of how my experience with Mr Leontsinis - and all of the other staff I came into contact with at Spire - could have been better. I am hugely grateful.

Put me at ease straight away and was very thorough in his approach . Several tests later and I went ahead with a surgical procedure and once again he explained what was going to happen. Would recommend him as a consultant and surgeon

Seen so many doctors/nurses at the NHS and had so many different conclusions to an ongoing problem with my left ear. Mr Leontsinis has put my worries at ease letting me know exactly what is going on and what needs to be done. Very professional and kind. Would highly recommend him to anyone.

Excellent explanation & painless investigation

If it was not for Mr Leontsinis quick action, I could’ve lost my hearing in my left ear. I cannot thank him enough.

Very personable and thorough, making me feel at comfortable and in great hands.
