My experience to start,I was very anxious,but i was told what was going to happen and what to expect,i was very well looked after in hospital,and i am very pleased with the end result.I would recommend this doctor to anyone who is having breast surgery.
Dr Vidya.
Lovely female Doctor who felt my lady lumps and sent me for an Ultrasound and Mammogram on the same day.
Luckily, she put my mind at ease and reassured me that everything was A OK on this occasion. Had she been the bearer of bad news, I think she would be equally professional and compassionate.
I was referred straight away by my GP and booked into see DR Vidya. In total I was at the hospital for around 2 hours and in this time I had had a consultation, sent for tests and then given my results. The whole process was efficient and well organised, it wasnt hours of waiting. DR Vidya was very easy to talk to and I was happy with the over all experience.
I was diagnosed having breast cancer on 4th may 2022 I was told miss vidya would be my consultant, 5 weeks on I had my surgery mastectomy and LD flap I have received the best care/treatment given by Miss vidya and her team at the royal Wolverhampton. I am very happy with the results, and so very grateful to miss vidya and her team.
Having been a patient of Miss Vidyas for a number of years, she makes you feel totally at ease and in safe hands.
She centres her approach around what is right for the patient and I am glad to have been referred to her by my oncologist.
She is such a positive person and she makes a nerve wracking situation easier to deal with.
