Brilliant consultant. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
I would like to leave a review for the breast care clinic as a whole rather than specifically for the Doctor.
The whole appointment system ran smoothly and efficiently. Within 2 hours I received a mammogram and an ultrasound scan and a review by the consultant. All the healthcare staff - healthcare assistants, radiographer, nurses and sonographer were pleasant,supportive, friendly and helpful.
I would have no hesitation in recommending the whole team.
Miss Vidya has been amazing from the first time I met her. She always makes the time to see me quickly if needed and is thorough with all the checks she does so nothing is missed. After a negative experience at a different hospital, I fully trust miss Vidya and decided to continue my treatment at this hospital even though I have to travel further.
I cannot thank miss Vidya and the breast care nurses enough for the support they have and are continuing to show me whilst going through my cancer diagnosis.
I was seen at New Cross hospital 21st September 2021 with Dr Vidya. I could not have wished for better treatment . She is a very caring person, puts you at ease immediately. She explained that the biopsy that was taken prior to my visit did however confirm that I had breast cancer. She explained to me the procedures that were recommended. These were carried out in October, now all clear and awaiting oncology appt, and treatment recommendations. Thanking you again, also a special thanks to Samantha and Sara for their advice.
I went to see Dr Vidya with a lump in my breast, she found i had a cyst and removed it straight away excellent service
