Miss Katy Ammar is an extraordinary doctor. She saw me through a difficult pregnancy and later the removal of an ovarian cyst. I first met her at the ante-natal clinic at Epsom Hospital. I had been referred to her as I was on medication for chronic migraine. She took great interest in my case, carefully going through my neurologist's notes and recommending a change of medication. This change not only removed any possible risk to my baby, but also vastly improved the management of my migraine. It was a very clever decision. Miss Ammar is remarkably dedicated and she visited me on the maternity ward after the birth of my baby even though she was not due to be on the ward that day. She also made sure she attended theater when I had to have a D&C when I hemorrhaged 10 days after the birth, assisting the surgeon who was on duty. I felt very reassured by her presence. During a routine pregnancy scan it was discovered that I had a large ovarian cyst. This had to be monitored frequently during my pregnancy. Miss Ammar dealt with this so sensitively and kindly, giving me excellent advice on how it should be treated both during and after my pregnancy. She never dismissed a worry or question, taking my concerns very seriously and giving her considered advice based on my particular situation. When a post-natal scan revealed a cancer risk, Miss Ammar saw me very swiftly. She reassured me with great care and made sure all the relevant investigations were done as soon as possible. For the surgery I was fortunate enough to see Miss Ammar privately at Ashstead Hospital. She showed the same exceptional warmth and dedication to me and my family there. During the operation she discovered that the cyst was due to widespread endometriosis and the operation took much longer than anticipated. However, Miss Ammar still stayed at the hospital until I was round from the anaesthetic so that she could personally explain her findings to my husband and I. The scars from the key-hole surgery were incredibly neat and are now pretty much invisible. I was up and walking very quickly with no problems. There is much more I could say, but fundamentally Miss Ammar is amazing and I would not hesitate to recommend her to my mother or sister.
