Miss Katy Ammar

Written by a patient at Leatherhead Hospital

I have seen Miss Ammar again today having not seen her for almost ten years. Back then, she was called in the middle of the night to attend following a medical accident during an emergency caesarean. She remembered me and I her. How could I forget the woman I consider saved me! I am so grateful for her excellent care once again today. She is a marvel. I wasn’t expecting to have the hysteroscopy procedure today because last time at a different hospital, it took a few consultation appointments and a general anaesthetic. Today it was all done at once so undoubtedly a more cost effective service. The NHS needs more of this. Despite not being fully prepared before my arrival Miss Ammar and her team dealt with me in such a lovely way and with such great care and attention it was faultless. I doubt it could be improved upon. I am sincerely thankful to Miss Ammar once again and would encourage anyone with a choice to choose her. She is amazing. She is everything you could wish for in a Doctor and more. Her parents and family must be so proud.

I very rarely write reviews but felt compelled to after my experience of being a patient under Miss Ammar's care. I have suffered from extremely heavy periods for a number of years and had, until meeting Miss Ammar, never really felt listened to. Due to my age and likelihood of menopause nearing, I feel that Doctors tended to take a ' put up with it" kind of attitude, offering me tablets to try and manage symptoms ( which didn't really help), the contraceptive pill ( which didn't help at all and as I have been sterilised seemed unnecessary too) or latterly the Mirena Coil. I saw Miss Ammar after being at the end of my tether, exhausted and anaemic after experiencing another debilitating period. I expected her to try to railroad me into having the Mirena Coil which I didn't want, as this seemed to be the latest treatment that my GP had offered. How wrong I was! Although Miss Ammar did say that the coil would be an option to consider, she offered me an ablation instead and talked through my other options. Upon meeting her, I finally felt that I had found someone to actually listen to me and my symptoms. She was so kind and understanding, explained my options clearly and was just so lovely. I needed a scan, which she went out of her way to arrange herself, as the hospital had no available appointments. I went ahead with the ablation, which seems to have been a total success, and am hopeful that it will finally give me my quality of life back. I cannot recommend Miss Ammar highly enough; not only a fantastic Doctor, but also a genuinely lovely person.

This consultant is fantastic, she was very caring & reassuring when I had my procedure this morning. Katy explained everything first really clearly. I was very nervous, but Katy & her team were so lovely, putting a pillow behind my back as I’d had recent back surgery. Katy & the other ladies talked me through the procedure & made sure I was comfortable at each stage. I highly recommend Katy Ammar & thank her for her gentle, kind nature. I don’t know why I was so worried, as Katy & her team were chatty & reassuring throughout & I hardly felt a thing!

I cannot recommend Miss Ammar highly enough - she was wonderful. I was referred to her initially under the NHS due to having 2 very large fibroids; this was right before Christmas 2018 by which point I'd had a pretty crap time of things under various useless gynaecological 'experts' and when I met Miss Ammar in a state of distress, she recognised that I'd been misinformed & misdirected on several occasions over the previous 2 years, and pledged to get me sorted as soon as she could, reassuring me that she would get the fibroids out at her earliest opportunity. I then went to her privately under Bupa and she arranged to see me the next week (even waiting late for me to get back from work in central London), at the private wing at Epsom, Hospital, and then had me scheduled in for the Hysteroscopy at the beginning of January, so a mere few weeks later. The day before my hysteroscopy was due to take place, all the anaesthetists informed Miss Ammar that they weren't able to do any ops due to training, so she spent 6hrs phoning around other hospitals to find an anaesthetist who was available, so that she didn't have to cancel my op, as she was aware that given my age (39) every lost month was going to impact on my ability to get pregnant. I was so immensely grateful for her endeavour to keep her promise to me, and for her continuing care & concern. The op went as planned and she ensured she removed both fibroids, even though it meant keeping me under general anaesthetic for longer than planned, because she wanted to get them all and they were larger & harder than expected, as she was keen for me to not to have to endure a second operation or any further delays. Miss Ammar was brilliant at every stage of the way, and showed the kind of dedication & compassion you sadly rarely see these days. I'm eternally grateful for everything she did and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone. She is amazingly talented as well as determined, and takes time to explain everything and offers wonderful after-care support & advice too
