Reviews
After routine mammogram I was recalled for further testing at the end of August 2021. Initial consultation was with Dr Vidya on 7th September followed by surgery on the 22nd September, I could not have asked for a better service from Dr Vidya and the breast care team at New Cross. At every stage of my diagnosis and treatment I was informed about what was happening and why, the breast care team followed up the surgery with telephone calls and when I had to seek advice the response was prompt and helpful. I cannot thank Dr Vidya and all the team at New Cross hospital enough for all the help and support I have received.
Dr Vidya was very good at reassuring us ,keeping the information we needed to know at a level we could understand,she was friendly but professional. I was confident that dr vidya knew I would be ok .
I have been a patient of Dr Vidya for two and a half years, pre surgery, surgery and on aftercare appointments. She is very caring and informative during consultations, dealing with any issues promptly and reassuringly, whilst putting one at easy.
I can only praise and thank her for the care given to me by Ms Vidya and her team
Friendly, helpful and understanding
Arrived a little early for my appointment but was seen on my allocated time. Dr Vidya examined me and asked me a few questions before I went off for my mammogram and scan. All the staff were lovely and talked me through each step. I went back to Dr Vidya after my scans and was given the results there and then. She explained my condition and asked if I had any questions. Everything about this visit was good.
