Leadership & Faculty

Meet the Founders

Co-Founder

Nikos Baritakis MD, Co-founder

He graduated from the University of Patras School of Medicine in 2005. In 2007 and 2008, he achieved high scores in the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) and obtained ECFMG certification. For various reasons, he ultimately chose not to pursue residency training in the United States.

Instead, he completed two years of training in Internal Medicine at Agios Andreas General Hospital of Patras, followed by four years of specialist training in Cardiology at the General Hospital of Argos and Agios Andreas General Hospital of Patras. In January 2017, he was awarded board certification in Cardiology, and since September 2017 he has maintained a private cardiology practice in Patras.

In 2018, he undertook advanced training in contemporary echocardiographic techniques at the University Hospital of Patras under the supervision of Dr. Nikos Koutsogiannis. Over approximately 18 months, he performed more than 2,000 stress echocardiography examinations. Since December 2019, he has performed an additional 2,000-plus stress echocardiography examinations in his private practice.

Co-Founder

Costas Doulaptsis MD, Co-founder

Dr. Constantinos Doulaptsis is a Consultant Cardiologist with a special interest in stress echocardiography and cardiac MRI. Born on the Greek island of Rhodes, he graduated from the School of Medicine at the University of Crete. He completed his residency in Cardiology at the Onassis Cardiac Surgery Center, where he subsequently worked as a scientific associate.

Supported by grants from the Flemish Research Foundation and the Hellenic Cardiological Society, he moved to Leuven, Belgium, for an 18-month fellowship in Cardiac MRI and to conduct clinical research in this field. Following this, he held a training position within the Cardiology Departments of Manchester Royal Infirmary and Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital in the United Kingdom, where he completed his sub-specialty fellowship in stress echocardiography. Subsequently, he was appointed as a Consultant Cardiologist in Cardiac Imaging for the Stress Echocardiography and Cardiac MRI services at Kettering General Hospital (NHS) in the UK.

Since 2019, Dr. Doulaptsis has been running a high-volume private Cardiology Practice in Rhodes, where he also directs the stress echocardiography service. Additionally, he serves as the Clinical Lead for the Cardiac MRI Department at the General Clinic of Rhodes.
