Ο Αθανάσιος Κασιάρας είναι Ορθοπεδικός Χειρουργός, ιδρυτής και διευθύνων ιατρός στην Κλινική KS ΙΑΤΡΙΚΟ, που βρίσκεται στη Γλυφάδα και στη Ραφήνα. Ολοκλήρωσε τις σπουδές του στην Ιατρική Σχολή του Πανεπιστημίου Θεσσαλίας και στη συνέχεια απέκτησε πολυετή εκπαίδευση σε κορυφαία νοσοκομεία της χώρας, όπως το Γενικό Νοσοκομείο Ασκληπιείο Βούλας και το Γενικό Νοσοκομείο Αττικής ΚΑΤ. Παρά τη χειρουργική του κατάρτιση, στην Κλινική KS ΙΑΤΡΙΚΟ αντιμετωπίζει όλο το φάσμα των ορθοπεδικών παθήσεων, εξαντλώντας κάθε μέθοδο συντηρητικής αντιμετώπισης και μάλιστα με τις πλέον σύγχρονες μεθόδους, όπως χρήση ενζύμων, πεπτιδίων πολυνουκλεοτιδίων ωσμωτική θεραπεία και άλλες. Στόχος του είναι να θεραπεύσει με ελάχιστα επεμβατικές μεθόδους όλους τους ασθενείς, προτού τους συνοδέψει στο χειρουργείο. Είναι σύμμαχος της άποψης πως στο χειρουργείο πρέπει να οδηγείται μόνο όταν πραγματικά το χρειάζεται ο ασθενής. Εκτός από τις εξελιγμένες χειρουργικές τεχνικές που εφαρμόζονται σε όλες τις επεμβάσεις, διαθέτει τις πιο πρωτοποριακές, ελάχιστα και μη επεμβατικές ορθοπεδικές θεραπείες (minimum and non invasive), προκειμένου να μπορεί να αντιμετωπιστεί κάθε πρόβλημα συνολικά και ανάλογα με τις ανάγκες και τις απαιτήσεις του ασθενή. Εξειδικεύεται στην αντιμετώπιση αθλητικών κακώσεων. Έχει αναπτύξει δικές του τεχνικές μεθόδους στην αντιμετώπιση ακόμα και των πιο δύσκολων και ανθεκτικών προβλημάτων που μπορεί να δημιουργηθούν σε τένοντες, μύες, αρθρώσεις, οστά και συνδέσμους. Εκεί που όλες οι άλλες θεραπείες αποτυγχάνουν μέσα από την σωστή ΔΙΑΓΝΩΣΗ και την ΕΞΑΤΟΜΙΚΕΥΜΕΝΗ ΠΡΟΣΕΓΓΙΣΗ κάθε ασθενούς κατάφερε ακόμα σε χρόνια και οξεία προβλήματα να δώσει αποτελεσματική λύση (σύμφωνα και με τις ομολογίες των ασθενών του). Επιπροσθέτως, η ταχεία εξυπηρέτηση στη Κλινική KS ΙΑΤΡΙΚΟ, το φιλόξενο περιβάλλον και το άρτια εκπαιδευμένο ιατρικό, νοσηλευτικό και διοικητικό προσωπικό είναι τα στοιχεία εκείνα που αφήνουν τον ασθενή με την καλύτερη εμπειρία.
