Mr. Pyrovolou graduated in medicine from the Aristotelion University of Thessaloniki in 1999. His passion for orthopaedics led him to Attikon University Hospital in Athens, where he trained for several years before pursuing further specialisation in the UK.

In 2010, Mr. Pyrovolou was admitted to the GMC’s specialist register for trauma and orthopaedic surgery, paving the way for his consultancy career. He specialises in spinal conditions, including spinal trauma, deformities, and spinal tumours—areas where expertise is both rare and crucial.
