I was referred to Miss McGuiness in March 2021 by Dr D P Chua following a consultation with him as part of extensive investigation into serious swelling in my legs. From the first time I met her I felt I could trust everything she told me to do and went along with her ideas. We started off by bandaging both of my legs to keep them compressed tightly and move the excessive Lymph Fluid around my body towards an exit point. She took over the liaison with my GP organising blood tests, or whatever was required. At this stage Royal Surrey County Hospital were investigating a possible case of Cancer, but after surgery to remove my ovaries I was signed off as all clear and I returned Catherine for further treatment, I was referred to a Lymphoedema Therapist who taught me how to massage myself, Catherine even went to the extreme by ordering me special shoes to wear whilst wearing the bandages and stockings. On Tuesday 7th December I was fitted with pressure stockings, which unfortunately due to a serious postal delay has resulted in no replacement stockings arriving for me to use, or replace. We have just reached a difficult situation with my treatment where we cannot go forward easily due to my lack of physical ability to use or fit my own pressure stockings or LymphPress M/c. I am currently in contact with Catherine to see if we can find the next step forward. She is an amazing Doctor who cares for her patients and treats them like friends.

The doctor and the nurses were very professional and did such a great job. Cathy and the lady that did the scanning are amazing and I would recommend them to anyone. Great service thank you so much. Not sure the smell will ever get out of my head!!!!

Response from Miss Catharine McGuinness

Thank you for your feedback. Our team tries very hard to make things as pleasant as possible so positive responses are very pleasing. Some people do get a strange taste or smell for a few minutes whilst we are doing the laser so I do hope your memory fades quickly!

Dr McGuinness and her team are very friendly and professional. Dr McGuinness is also a very dedicated doctor and are always there for her clients. After my EVLA, my bandages got wet in the shower later that evening. I wrote an e-mail to her around midnight asking her for advice. I did not expect her to reply that late, yet she answered my e-mail within minutes! I’m very happy with the results I got from my treatment with Dr McGuinness and can definitely recommend her.
