Dr. Theoharis K. Papageorgiou is an internationally trained Obstetrician, Gynaecologist and Fertility Specialist with over 30 years of clinical, academic and research experience.
His career has been shaped by more than a decade of advanced postgraduate training and hospital practice in France and the United States, where he specialised in Reproductive Medicine, In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF), High-Risk Pregnancy and Advanced Gynaecological Surgery.
Following completion of his specialist training, his clinical work in France developed across three closely connected fields: High-Risk Pregnancy, In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) and Gynaecological Surgery. In the United States, his advanced training focused on Reproductive Medicine and IVF, alongside laboratory based research, giving him early exposure to both the clinical and scientific dimensions of assisted reproduction.
