I researched and paid privately for Miss Price to fully remove my TVT mid urethral sling on the 3rd August 2019. She was very softly spoken and seemed kind, caring and knowledgeable. She had been highly recommended to me by a friend who is a medical professional who was living and working in Oxford where Miss Price was practising at the time. I felt considerably better as soon as I woke from the operation but was confident some of the TVT remained due to a particular pain which remained. She assured me and my husband that the TVT had all been removed. I have since had a further 5 cm of the TVT removed by a second removal surgeon, (Professor Hashim in Bristol). When I complained to Miss Price I got no response. I subsequently learned it is not possible to fully remove a TVT laparascopically which was the approach she used. She has since denied telling me she was ever going to remove all of the TVT despite using the operation code denoting full TVT removal (there is a different code for a partial) in her preoperative letter to me and despite make five references to a full mesh removal in this same letter to me prior to the operation. I am left £10,000 out of pocket (I ended up paying twice for the operation) which was just the operation cost. In addition I had to pay twice for accomodation close to her in Oxford and again close by for the second operation in Bristol. I had to be off work both times and therefore had considerable loss of earnings, I am left with so much scar tissue from having two operations that my vagina is totally filled with it making penetrative sex and even smears impossible. However, worst of all if I hadn't known my own body, trusted my instinct, been able to research and pay out a second time for further removal surgery, I may have lost my bladder as by the time I went for a second full removal of the TVT the remaining mesh had already penetrated the external wall of my bladder. The upset, distress anger and injustice I feel is slowly destroying me. I trust no-one. I have no confidence in my own judgement of people any more, I am depressed and anxious and have a very poor quality of life due to the pain I've been left in which means I cannot sit down ever without being uncomfortable or in pain. Noone in the medical profession has ever apologised and two solicitors have told me I have no case. I contemplate suicide daily.

I had mixed experiences with Dr. Price. She is known as a great surgeon and I must say my scars from her surgery were minimal (I had to have another surgery less than a year later using the same incisions and that surgeon wasn't able to make the incisions as small unfortunately). I initially felt like she listened to me and I trusted her, but my actual surgery experience was awful. The anesthesiologist was horrible. He was completely dismissive of my past experience with anesthesia and pain and refused to give me appropriate pain medication. I woke up from surgery in utter agony and promptly passed out from the pain. I woke up again screaming with unmanageable pain. I have had multiple major surgeries and never experienced post-operative pain like this. While this was not Dr. Price's direct fault, she did not check up on me after and the next day, when I finally had been given a pain pump and had the pain under control, made a snide remark that I was "high". It was terrible to be so physically and emotionally vulnerable and then have someone you trusted disparage you and minimize your pain. When I was discharged, she refused to write a prescription for strong pain relief despite me still being in agony (thankfully the nurse saw how much I was suffering and got another doctor to write a script for a few oxycodone, which I definitely needed). I was supposed to have a post-op follow-up with her to check I was healing well and got this email from her assistant: "Unfortunately, due to personal reasons and unforeseen circumstances, Natalia Price has had to cancel her clinics and surgical procedures for the foreseeable future" so I had to have a quick phone call with a doctor I never met and who never saw me in person. That was the only post-op care I got. The recovery from surgery took several months and I was not given any support, although I could have benefitted from it.

I cannot rate this lovely doctor highly enough. She listens, she hears what is going on for you and she responds based on what you have said. She seems highly experienced, she told me she had performed ten operations a week during the height of mesh removal last summer. I also rate the team at the Manor hospital where she works privately.

Miss Price is a talented and committed surgeon. She is compassionate, listens and cares deeply about her patients. I had a mesh removal operation recently and found her to be skilled, honest and ensured I had all relevant information I needed to make an informed decision regarding my treatment. I highly recommend Miss Price to anyone seeking treatment in Oxford.

I had a laparoscopic surgery done by miss price. She was very friendly and I got a very good treatment so far . She reassured me and give me the strength. I was totally devastated before my surgery I thought I will loose everything including my ovary and uterus. Thanks to miss price she repaired everything very nicely .
