Dr. Iordanidou’s practice is renowned for its modern facilities and a child-friendly environment, offering a welcoming space tailored to the needs of children and mothers alike.

Dr. Iordanidou embarked on her medical journey at the University of Thessaly, where she graduated from the School of Medicine in 2011.

Her experience in the UK included notable positions, starting as a Senior House Officer (SHO) at the Barnet Hospital Neonatal Unit in London. This was followed by a tenure at the Evelina London Children's Hospital, where she honed her skills in general pediatrics, pediatric cardiology, and emergency medicine. Dr. Iordanidou's keen interest in pediatric endocrinology guided her to a specialized role as a Senior Endocrine Fellow at the Royal London Hospital, focusing extensively on diabetes and endocrine disorders. Her comprehensive training was further enriched by her work as a Senior Registrar at both Barnet Hospital and the Royal Free Hospital, where she managed the General Paediatrics department and the Neonatal Unit.
