When meeting Dr Vidya she was friendly and was clear on the information that she gave me and my husband,ensuring that we understood all of the information.Took time and care that we could repeat this information.
After my surgery Dr Vidya came to see me and again re-assured me and treated me with dignity.
During our following meetings Dr Vidya was always friendly gave us clear information and always made sure we were Ok and understood everything she had told us.
Miss Vidya team is also very friendly and supportive. I am very grateful for all of the support Miss Vidya and her team have shown to me and my husband so far.

i had an appointment 18.3.21 Dr Vidya and assistants were very helpful, prompt and detailed what was going to happen. very happy with the service
Dr Vidya advised me of my breast cancer diagnosis in a sensitive and caring manner. She provided me with opportunity to ask as many questions as I needed to ask. She helped me to understand my diagnosis in simple terms. Dr Vidya gave me a really good overview of what my treatment process would be. He put me at ease and made me feel comfortable at every appointment. She was clear and concise in the information which she had to share with me.
On the day of my surgery she was very supportive and helped to ease my anxiety. She gave me a lot of confidence in the procedure and what she needed to do. Looking at my breast after surgery, she has done very well and completely retained my original shape, the wounds are necessary, but she has ensured that it is minimal in terms of appearance for me. I am extremely pleased and feel privileged to have had Dr Vidya as my Breast Surgeon/Consultant.
