I cannot recommend Dr Sotiris Nicholas highly enough. He was my Consultant Anaesthetist for both of my C-sections, providing epidural anaesthesia, and the experience was truly exceptional each time. We deliberately chose Dr Sotiris for both deliveries because of his incredible calm, professionalism, and reassuring presence. From the moment we met him, he made me feel completely at ease and confident about the procedure. His explanations were clear, thoughtful, and reassuring, which made a potentially stressful situation feel controlled and safe. The epidurals were administered perfectly, with no complications or side effects, and I felt extremely well cared for throughout. His bedside manner is outstanding—kind, composed, and deeply attentive—which made a significant difference to my overall birth experience. I am deeply grateful for his expertise and care, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr Sotiris Nicholas to any patient seeking an anaesthetist who combines exceptional clinical skill with genuine compassion and professionalism.
Dr Sotiris was absolutely wonderful. I have slight complications that make the anaesthetic process more complicated (particularly fasting beforehand) and he could not have been more patient with all my questions, reassuring and just generally someone I felt I could completely trust with keeping me safe at a moment I felt extremely vulnerable.
We had a brilliant with Dr Nicholas for an elective c section at Portland. He is very caring, considerate and warm. He made me and husband feel very comfortable throughout the delivery, and I felt extremely confident in the care provided by him and Ms Bhatti in surgery, they made a great team. We highly recommend Dr Nicholas.
Really happy with the care Dr Nicholas provided. I felt instantly in safe hands and he explained everything very clearly, taking the time to answer all of my questions. I could not have felt more reassured or supported. I am very grateful for his calm, professional, and compassionate approach.
Dr Nicholas's anaesthetics and care were exceptional. It's difficult to imagine to be in better hands during a c-section. He was simply wonderful.
I had an great experience with Dr. Sotiris Nicholas and cannot recommend him highly enough. From our first meeting, he was calm, professional, and extremely reassuring. Dr. Nicholas took the time to clearly explain the anesthesia process and ensured I felt completely comfortable and confident before the procedure. At the surgery, his expertise and attention to detail were evident. I felt safe and well cared for at every stage, and the anesthesia experience was smooth with a far easier recovery than I expected. His calm manner and clear communication made a potentially stressful situation more manageable and reassuring. Dr. Sotiris Nicholas is an exceptional anaesthetist whose professionalism, skill, and genuine care make a real difference. I am truly grateful for his care and would highly recommend him to anyone undergoing a procedure requiring anesthesia.
Wonderful, kind and thorough Dr. As scary as theatre is he made sure we were well informed throughout and made it as calming and enjoyable as possible. Whilst also taking great photos of our baby being born. Can’t thank you enough for such a wonderful birthing experience. Mary K.
I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to the anesthesiologist for the outstanding care during my surgery. Your expertise, reassurance, and compassionate manner greatly eased my anxiety and contributed to a smooth and successful procedure. Thank you for your dedication and professionalism.
We have just had an elective c section. Dr Nicholas was calm, informative and extremely gentle. He was able to reassure us throughout the procedure which kept everything a calm and really lovely experience. He also filmed and photographed the experience when he could. We’ve have since had a check up, where he has explained any feelings I may be having and let us ask any questions! Great experience - highly, highly recommend. 😊
An excellent Anaesthetist, highly skilled and with a calm manner that puts patients at ease. I have worked alongside Dr Nicholas at a number of Caesarean deliveries and I can highly recommend him as a first class anaesthetist.
