Maria Kritikou

Executive Secretary

She was born in Athens in 1990. She successfully completed her studies in June 2009 at a public Vocational Training Institute (IEK), specializing as an executive secretary. Alongside her studies she completed coursework in information technology and attended seminars in secretarial support.

She has worked at the Breast and Osteoporosis Diagnostic Imaging Laboratory of Dr. Spyros Lazarou since November 2009. She coordinates the daily examination schedule, and her goal is to provide the best possible service to the women who visit the practice, whether for preventive screening or to clarify a particular problem.

Konstantina Papazisi

Radiographer

Konstantina Papazisi is a radiographer. Born and raised in Volos, she left in 2011 when she was accepted into the Department of Radiology and Radiotherapy at the Technological Educational Institute (TEI) of Athens. She completed her practical training at the "Agia Sofia" Children's Hospital, where she gathered material for her thesis titled "Challenges in Paediatric Imaging." It was there that she came to understand the human-centred dimension of the profession — the importance of empathy, respect for the patient, and collaboration in achieving the best possible imaging outcome.

Her introduction to mammography came in 2017, when she graduated and began working at a major diagnostic centre in Athens. She trained in tomosynthesis, biopsies, and bone density measurement. She continued her career at two further diagnostic centres, continually developing her skills, attending seminars, and gaining extensive experience in breast pathology — until April 2024, when the opportunity arose to join Dr. Lazarou's team. Since then, she has also been trained in ABUS, and continues her work with the goal of achieving the best possible results, always guided by sensitivity and empathy.

Elena Katsouli

Radiographer

Elena Katsouli is a radiographer. Born and raised on the island of Naxos, she left in 2018 to study at the Department of Radiology and Radiotherapy of the University of West Attica. She completed her practical training at the Hippokration General Hospital of Athens, where she had her first contact with mammography. Her training was based on both performing mammograms and carrying out biopsies, under the supervision of Ms. Maria Alafaki. She gained knowledge of all imaging techniques, with a particular inclination towards breast imaging.

In 2026 the opportunity arose for her to join Dr. Lazarou's practice, where she received further training in performing volumetric ultrasound examinations with the ABUS system, as well as in bone density measurements. She aims for the best possible result by creating an environment of safety and trust for every woman she examines.

Myrto Gavala

Secretary

My name is Myrto Gavala and I was born in Athens in 1990. I am a graduate of the Department of Statistics and Insurance Science of the University of Piraeus.

I have had the pleasure of working at the Breast and Osteoporosis Center of Dr. Spyros Lazarou since 2023, in secretarial support. From the very first moment, Dr. Lazarou and the entire team at the practice made me feel that I am in a familiar and supportive environment, among people who genuinely love what they do and treat one another with respect.

My personal goal — and the goal of our whole team — is to provide the best possible service to the people we interact with every day, with professionalism, consistency and empathy. Through my work I strive to keep growing, giving my best, gaining new knowledge and helping to create an environment where every person feels comfortable, safe and welcome.
