When it comes to female health, women are much more open about the issues they face than in years gone by.

Following detailed consultation, patients are also given the option to contact Dr Vellayan through email free of charge with queries that may arise at a later date, thereby ensuring ongoing care.
I had an excellent experience with Dr. Vellayan. She is extremely understanding, thorough, and provides outstanding care. Her explanations are always very clear, and she took the time to discuss the best treatment options specifically for me. I was especially impressed that she personally called to inform me about an additional condition that was detected by chance, clearly explaining the next steps and promptly arranging the necessary referrals. The aftercare has also been excellent. I would highly recommend Dr. Vellayan to anyone seeking professional, compassionate, and attentive medical care.

I can’t thank Dr Vellayan enough for the care I received. From the first appointment, it was clear how knowledgeable and experienced they are, but what really made a difference was how kind and caring they were throughout. They took the time to listen, explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, and made me feel truly supported. I left the appointment feeling reassured and confident that I was in the best hands. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr Vellayan to anyone looking for excellent and compassionate care.

I had a laparotomy myomectomy performed by Dr. Madhavi Vellayan, and I am so grateful for her exceptional care and skill. She explained everything clearly before the surgery, made me feel reassured and comfortable, and her expertise was evident throughout. The surgery went smoothly, and my recovery is progressing. Thank you, Dr. Madhavi, for your kindness, professionalism, and dedication to your patients. Highly recommended!

It's good to see a doctor who doesn't rush but gives careful consideration and understanding to the patient. I've seen Dr Vellayan twice and have benefitted each time from her advice and treatment.

I am a new woman.! I had a total hysterectomy resulting in me feeling pain free from the issues I’ve carried arround for years. From the moment I saw Dr Vellayan I was instantly put at ease as she described each stage of my operation, the during and after. Dr Vellayan demonstrated excellent listing, empathy and understanding skills which again reassured me throughout. I would honestly recommend this fabulous lady to everyone.

My consultation with Dr. Vellayan was such a relief, at last I felt listened to and my health problem was clearly explained to me. I feel that I am in safe, highly skilled and experienced hands. Dr. Vellayan is reassuring, very efficient, highly organised and puts her patient's best interests foremost. She is both a fantastic doctor and a genuinely lovely person.

I have had treatment from Dr Vellayan over the last 18 months for endometriosis, she's always been so understanding and compassionate and has made me feel listened to when many other medical professionals haven't. She has also replied to emails when I've had concerns between appointments. I've had two surgeries done which were both as comfortable as possible and the whole team was lovely, can't thank her enough
