Reviews
Miss Vidya has supported me over the last five and a half years since I was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was my surgeon and has looked after me with check ups ever since. She is calm and professional but also engaging. She listens to your concerns and always responds in a practical and straightforward way. Her capacity to interact with patients professionally without appearing patronising is rare in senior medics who are often much more distant and detached.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank her and all her team for my excellent care.
I have received first class care from Dr Vidya. She is knowledgeable and extremely efficient. She is well organised and inspires confidence and is a real expert in her field of work. Thank you for the excellent treatment I have and still am receiving.
Although I am sure many women fear their cancer check ups, I look forward to seeing Dr Vidya. She combines the highest professionalism with a reassuring demeanour. Dr Vidya provides me with an honest appraisal of my progress in a manner which is open and positive so and I feel in great hands knowing she will ensure I get the best care, whether my condition is good or bad. Dr Vidya is also informative and shares her knowledge of any new developments in the treatment of breast cancer.
I feel blessed to have been treated by Dr Vidya and her team.
Ms Vidya was extremely professional yet had the caring manner that is needed in situations as mine. She gave me confidence in the surgery that was going to be performed as her team. All were aware of my age and my worries. They showed respect and guided me through all the areas that I was going to through. I have nothing but praise for the staff that cared for me from the initial meeting to the discharge. Thank you
I received excellent care from Dr. Vidya from start to finish. She was very thorough and addressed all my concerns with patience and kindness. My surgery went extremely well, she did an amazing job and my incisions are healing beautifully.
