  “Written on behalf of my mum, Gloria: I am truly beyond blessed to have had Dr Steven Karametos as my hernia surgeon. From the first consultation to post-surgery care, his professionalism, expertise, and high level patient care clearly sets him apart from many others in the medical profession. I first came to Dr. Karametos, full of deep concern about my condition, but from the moment I met him, he made me feel fully supported & solidly confident to be in his care. He delivered an outstanding surgical outcome & the recovery process was smooth and completely stress-free. His entire team was incredibly helpful. My calls and emails were always promptly attended to with such care, making the whole process very reassuring. I am very, very eternally grateful to Dr Karametos. I couldn’t recommend him more highly. Gloria”

  “It has been my privilege to be a patient of Mr. Steven Karametos. I’ve had bilateral inguinal hernias for nearly ten years. Over that time, the hernias have increased considerably in size. One in particular was very large. Steven performed a minimally invasive laparoscopic procedure to repair both hernias simultaneously. Mine was the first surgery of the day and I was home by the middle of the afternoon. I experienced absolutely no pain whatsoever. I haven’t had the need for any pain medication at all. Steven came to my attention through rigorous research I had done. His credentials and reviews are outstanding and that was the decider for me. His communication skills and care for his patients are second to none. I cannot recommend Steven highly enough to anyone contemplating having hernia repair. It will be one if the best decisions you’ll ever make regarding your health. You’ll be in the very skilled hands of an absolutely top flight surgeon. Steven, please accept my thanks and gratitude for applying your skills and talent to my case and producing for me a fabulous outcome. So very much appreciated.”

  “Excellent surgeon. I highly recommend Steven Karametos. Do not go anywhere else. He is the man. In and out of hospital in one day. Inguinal hernia gone like it was never there. I cannot believe how smoothly this went. No pain afterwards at the site of the hernia, just a little stinging from the laparoscopic incisions and from the raised belly due to the gas they pump in. Took Panadol once, that was it. This minor pain was gone the next day. Bloated belly took about 1 week to "deflate". For reference, I had the Progrip mesh. I was walking around easily and pain free the next day without any side effects. Whole experience was less traumatic than going to the dentist. Now after 6 weeks been given the all clear to go back to the gym.”

  “The reason I chose Steven was because of his reviews, and after been treated for an umbilical hernia by Steven, I can see why he has such excellent reviews. His professionalism, care and meticulous attention to my condition was fantastic. The ladies in reception could not have been more helpful when dealing with my paperwork and appointments Thank you.”

  “I recently had hernia repair with Dr. Steven Karametos and couldn’t be happier with the outcome. He was professional, reassuring, and thorough every step of the way, and I always felt in safe hands. The surgery went smoothly, recovery has been excellent, and the experience exceeded my expectations. A special thanks also to his practice receptionist, Dana, who was professional and prompt in answering all my questions. Highly recommend Dr. Karametos, and the Melbourne Hernia Centre.”
