Terms of Use

Last updated: 29 October 2026

This is an English translation of our Greek Terms of Use. In case of any discrepancy, the Greek version applies.

These terms govern your use of petridis-orthopedikos.gr. By browsing this website, you accept these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

The website belongs to Georgios Petridis, MD, MSc, Orthopaedic Surgeon, and operates under his responsibility.

2. Website content does not replace a medical examination

The content of this website is provided for information only.

• It does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis or treatment and does not replace a clinical examination by a doctor.
• Reading the content does not establish a doctor–patient relationship. That relationship begins with your examination at the clinic.
• Every case is different. The course, recovery and outcome of a treatment or operation vary between patients, and no outcome is guaranteed.
• Do not stop or change treatment, or delay seeking medical help, because of information you have read here.

Articles are reviewed regularly, as described in our Editorial Policy. Medical knowledge continues to develop, however, and a page may not include the latest evidence.

In an emergency, call the Greek ambulance service (EKAV) on 166 or call 112, or go to the nearest emergency department. Email and social media are not monitored in real time. If you have recently had surgery and develop a fever, discharge from the wound, or calf pain and swelling, contact the practice immediately by telephone.

3. Appointments and communication

You can book an appointment by calling either clinic or through Doctoranytime. Bookings through Doctoranytime are also subject to that platform’s terms.

Email and social media are used for practical matters, such as appointments and directions. A diagnosis or treatment recommendation is provided only after an examination.

Our Privacy Policy explains which personal data is used and how it is protected.

4. Costs

Any references to the cost of a consultation, treatment or operation are indicative and do not constitute a quotation. The final cost is determined after an examination and depends on the individual case, the hospital and your insurance cover.

5. Intellectual property

The website’s text, photographs, graphics, videos and logos belong to the doctor or are used with permission and are protected by Greek Law 2121/1993.

• Viewing and printing for personal, non-commercial use are permitted.
• Short quotations are permitted if the source is acknowledged and a link to the page is included.
• Reproducing, republishing or modifying complete texts or images without written permission is prohibited.

Third-party trademarks mentioned on the website, such as Stryker MAKO, belong to their respective owners.

6. Links to other websites

This website contains links to third parties, including Doctoranytime, hospitals, scientific sources and social media. We do not control their content, availability or privacy policies. A link does not mean that we endorse everything published on the other website.

7. Liability

Every effort is made to keep the content accurate and the website available without interruption. We cannot, however, guarantee that there will be no errors, omissions or interruptions.

We are not liable for damage resulting from the use of information on this website without a medical examination, or from an inability to access the website. This limitation does not apply where the law does not permit liability to be excluded, including cases of wilful misconduct or gross negligence.

8. Personal data and cookies

The processing of personal data and the use of cookies are described in our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy (EU).

9. Changes to these terms

These terms may change. The date of the latest update is shown at the top of this page, and continued use of the website signifies acceptance of the revised terms.

10. Applicable law

These terms are governed by Greek law. The courts of Athens have jurisdiction over any dispute, without prejudice to your statutory rights as a consumer.
