A Life-Changing Experience in Athens!

From the moment I landed in Athens, I was blown away by the mix of modern life and ancient history. The Philotimo Dental Program gave me the chance to shadow oral surgeries, including wisdom tooth extractions and dental implants! The 1:1 and 1:2 student-to-doctor ratio made it so much easier to learn. The dentists were incredibly patient and spoke excellent English, which helped me understand every step of the procedures.

One of my favorite experiences was our city tour to the Acropolis—seeing the Parthenon in real life was surreal. We also took the metro everywhere, and it was surprisingly easy to use (except for that one time we got off at the wrong stop

What was your funniest moment?
I confidently ordered a “gyro” but totally mispronounced it—thankfully, the restaurant owner just laughed and corrected me!
Pros
  • hands-on shadowing experience
  • Super friendly and knowledgeable dentists
  • Athens is breathtaking with its mix of ancient and modern

Dentistry, Culture, and Adventure in One Program

The hands-on exposure in the dental clinic was fantastic. I learned so many things that I didn't expect. The doctors are very supportive and friendly. Greek people are very friendly and respectful toward other races, they made me feel at home. Staying in Athens made it even better, with all the amazing history and culture around me. Our Philotimo excursions were to the Acropolis, The Parthenon, and the public market. I really want to come back soon. Huge thanks to Stavros for organizing everything so well!

An Experience I Will Always Cherish

My two-week dental program in Greece with Philotino Shadowing Dentistry in Athens was a dream come true! I learned so much from Dr. Maria and Dr. Sotiria, and the excursions were a fantastic way to experience Greek history and culture. The accommodation was very accessible, safe, and clean. I am going to miss the afternoon walks at Ernmou Street. So many boutiques, cafes and full of young people. Honestly, this was such a great time abroad. Greek people are so nice. Thank you, Stavros, for making this such a smooth and enjoyable experience!

A Perfect Introduction to General Dentistry

Observing professionals like Dr. Maria and Dr. Sotiria in Athens for two weeks made me more passionate about my future career. The Philotimo Dental Program provided me with an amazing hands-on experience in dentistry. We had many patients and procedures to observe. The group of doctors spoke English very well and gave us a lot of advice. The accommodations were in an ideal location, close to everything. I will never forget the breathtaking views from the Acropolis! Huge thanks to Stavros for all the support!

Athens + Dentistry = The Best Experience Ever

This is my first time out of India. I was so scared but I had such an enriching experience with the Philotimo Dental Program. Stavros and Aggeliki were really nice from the first time we started our conversation about the program. Shadowing Dr. Sotiria and Dr. Maria gave me real-world exposure to general dentistry. The accommodations were ok—right in the center of everything! I loved the excursions to the Acropolis and the central market. A huge thanks to Stavros for making everything easy and stress-free!

A Life-Changing Experience in Athens

This program gave me the opportunity to shadow general dentists in a real clinical setting. The knowledge and exposure I gained were priceless! Staying in the heart of Athens allowed me to explore the historic sites and enjoy Greek culture. I honestly think Stavros created the program based on detail and love for the students. Thank you, Dr. Maria and Dr. Sotiria, for your mentorship, and a special thanks to Stavros for his continuous support. I highly recommend this program to anyone considering dentistry!

What was your funniest moment?
During our group meal, Stavros got up and started dancing to greek music. I think he loves so much his job.

A Dream Come True for Any Aspiring Dentist

The Philotimo Dental was beyond amazing! I shadowed experienced dentists, learned about patient care, and even got insights into the latest dental procedures. We cover many things during the hours. Monday to Friday shadowing the team of doctors, and during the evenings we all went out to eat. The accommodation was perfect, close to all the best parts of Athens. I loved visiting the Acropolis and enjoying the cafés. Thank you, Stavros, for organizing such a great program, and special thanks to Dr. Maria and Dr. Sotiria for their guidance!

From Canada to Athens – Best Decision Ever!

The Philotimo Dental Program was an unforgettable experience! The hands-on learning at the dental clinic was phenomenal. Observing Dr. Sotiria’s and the other team's techniques and patient interactions gave me clarity about my future in dentistry. The central accommodation made exploring Athens effortless, and the excursions to the market and Acropolis were fantastic. I gained so much experience, letters of recommendation, and certificate of completion.
Thank you, Stavros, for making everything run so smoothly. Highly recommended!
