Dr Stelios is a kind and attentive consultant who takes the time to listen and carefully assess his patients. I have been extremely impressed by his level of care and thorough approach, which has left me feeling reassured and confident that both my baby and I are in the safest of hands. I am truly grateful for his professional and compassionate care.

I wish to commend Mr Stelios Myriknas for his exceptional professionalism and pioneering approach during the delivery of my daughter. After over 48 hours of active labour without progression beyond 9.5 cm dilation, Mr Myriknas employed an innovative forceps technique that required no additional intervention - remarkably eliminating the need for an episiotomy. His clinical expertise was evident throughout, but what truly distinguished his care was his calm, reassuring presence during a highly challenging situation.

I had my TAC stitch placed by the wonderful Mr Stelios at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in May 2021, following a self-referral I made the previous December. From the very beginning, Mr Stelios was exceptional. He explained every aspect of the procedure, including all risks and next steps, with such clarity and compassion. What truly set him apart was how far he went beyond his formal responsibilities. He personally communicated with my IVF consultant at another hospital to discuss the potential risks of a twin pregnancy, ensuring that every decision was made with my safety in mind.
Mr Stelios may I start by saying thank you so much. Your knowledge, kindness and bedside manner were so reassuring to me during my HG pregnancy. You offered invaluable insights and showed a genuine care to me as your patient. You always took the time to make me feel like any concerns I had were valid and talked through. Thank you for creating such a calming pathway for me to my Caesarian section I would recommend your care to anyone.

From the very first interaction through to my C-section and beyond, the level of care, compassion, and professionalism I received was truly exceptional. He stepped in to perform my C-section at short notice, and from that moment I felt completely safe, listened to, and reassured. What sets him apart is not just his clinical expertise - which was faultless - but his genuine kindness and calm presence.
An extraordinary doctor and a true angel on earth. I was blessed to be under the care of Dr Stelios Myriknas throughout my pregnancy and for my C-section, and I honestly could not have wished for a better consultant. From the very beginning, he gave me confidence, trust, and genuine care, the kind that makes you feel safe, seen, and valued as a person, not just a patient. He went far beyond what was expected of him. Even when he was due to go on holiday, he stayed to perform my C-section surgery himself and made sure I was completely fine before leaving.

Mr Myriknas was a colleague of mine at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. I chose him to deliver my baby, owing to his exceptional clinical expertise and kind, considerate manner with patients and midwives. It was a privilege to have him as my doctor; I feel incredibly lucky that he was there and to have had such a positive experience.

Mr Myriknas is an amazing doctor, compassionate and friendly, with excellent bedside manners. He explained everything clearly and patiently to me and made me feel safe and valued. Most importantly, he performed his own technique on me, using forceps but avoiding not only performing an episiotomy but also any significant trauma.

A very big thank you for all of your help and support and taking care of me and my beautiful baby girl's delivery. We will never forget how you helped us have a safe and in the end comfortable delivery. Thank you!
Stelios is an outstanding obstetrician. His exceptional clinical skills and truly wonderful bedside manner never made me feel anything less than supported and empowered to make informed decisions in my pregnancy. I will always be grateful for his compassionate and holistic approach to care during my pregnancy and afterwards.

I found Dr Stelios via a Facebook group after going through some issues with an incompetent cervix. I met with him at Chelsea hospital and his warm friendly personality really put me at ease. I was booked in for a transabdominal cerclage procedure with him shortly after, and he delivered my first baby by c section.

You may not remember me but on the 21st of November you put in an emergency cervical stitch. Thanks to your amazing skills and professionalism, I made it to 36 weeks! Thank you so much for saving my pregnancy and my baby.

I would like to express my gratitude for the exceptional care and support I received during my pregnancy. Mr. Stelios Myriknas was very attentive, thorough, and compassionate specially on my case as I suffered from gestational diabetes, fluctuating blood pressure and a previous emergency section from another country.
I was a patient of doctor Myriknas in 2020 when I delivered my baby via c-section. The surgery and recovery went smoothly so I will be forever grateful for delivering my baby Victor safely. Thank you doctor Stelios.

Dr Myriknas placed my Transabdominal Cerclage in 2020 - due to being diagnosed with an Incompetent cervix and suffering a preterm and neonatal loss. The transabdominal cerclage placed by Dr Myriknas had allowed me to confidently deliver three healthy and happy term babies!

I will be forever grateful to Mr. Stelios Myriknas for the incredible care and support he provided during the birth of my first child. After two long days of early labour, my hopes for a natural birth seemed to be slipping away. Eventually, I reached full dilation, but just as I began to push, I was advised to go to theatre for a trial of forceps delivery, with a possible C-section if that didn't work.

I had my both care (2021 and 2024) under Mr Stelios. The doctor is so professional and full of experience. He is very patient and pays attention to details. I had my transabdominal cerclage and pregnancies managed perfectly under the care of Stelios.

Where can I start?! Mr Stelios Myriknas is absolutely amazing!!!! There are no words really to describe how remarkable he is. From the first moment he dealt with our case, which was concerning a very sensitive gynecological procedure, he was very patient, very knowledgeable, understanding and professional at the same time.
