His personal commitment is also reflected in his educational and community work, promoting tolerance and training new generations of leaders for more than a decade.

“I had a retinal detachment that had also damaged the macula, which severely compromised my vision. I could not drive or perform basic tasks. Dr. Politis diagnosed my case accurately and repaired both conditions. Beyond his technical ability, what I value most is his medical vocation and his deeply humane treatment. I felt listened to, guided and cared for with a real commitment. Today I can see again and resume my life. I am very grateful.”
