Reviews
Following a routine mammogram I needed surgery. Unfortunately my original surgeon developed covid and I was referred to Miss Vidya. I found her to be pleasant helpful and extremely professional. The care received from all staff involved so far has been caring and thoughtful. Nothing was too much trouble and my questions and fears were soon put to rest.
I received excellent treatment from the start. From being recalled following a routine mamagram right through to the operation and follow up outpatient appointment it was like having a warm comforting blanket around us. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. 10 out of 10

Miss Vidya is very pleasant person, she is thorough and confident during an appointment. I found my appointment with miss Vidya very positive and a comfortable experience.
Thank you
Three years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer which necessitated a right side mastectomy. I also received a breast implant during the same operation.
Ms. Vidya is a Consultant Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon - I mention this because non of the categories in the drop down menu mention this particular specialism.
I feel confident that the advice I get from Ms. Vidya at my follow-up appointments is of the highest standard.
She does not pussyfoot around but gives you news in a straightforward, confident and compassionate way - no sugar coating or meaningless platitudes.
Any treatment or changes to treatment are explained and questions answered in language that does not contain lots of medical jargon.
Ms. Vidya is always interested in how you are getting on, but does not undertake meaningless small talk.
My experience was exceptional. It happened halfway through the Covid pandemic.
No delays, face to face, social distancing was spot on and Miss Vidya is just the best, I love her she’s amazing!
