Miss Sascha Dua

Written by a patient at Nuffield Health Brentwood Hospital

My experience with Sascha Dua is purely from a cosmetic perspective. I had lost a lot of weight and decided I wanted a breast augmentation as I had lost my "boobage" in the process. I did a lot of research on surgeons prior to meeting Sascha but decided on booking a consultation with her as the reviews just on here alone speak for themselves. It also helped with my decision that she was a female surgeon and just dealt with breasts, what Sascha doesn't know about breasts really isn't worth knowing! I'm 1 year post surgery now, so thought it was a better time than any to share my experience. On first meeting Sascha at the nuffield Brentwood, I knew instantly she was the surgeon for me. Once in the room with her, you have her full attention, you are never rushed and she answers all your questions thoroughly. she is sympathetic, and straight talking but on top of that she has a great sense of humour in moments that could be a little awkward. I visited Sascha 3 times prior to my surgery purely due to the fact I was unsure on size and each time was a pleasure seeing her, it was like visiting a friend. Eventually I decided to go bigger than I first anticipated, and I'm so glad I did, but if it wasn't for the fact that I talked it through with Sascha on a few occasions I probably would of rushed my decision and made a bad one. Because I'd met her a few times, I built up a great deal of trust in her also, and even on the day of my surgery, I had narrowed it down to two sizes, but I let Sascha decide what she thought looked best once in surgery. And I'm so glad I put my trust In her as I couldn't be happier with them. On the day of the surgery, I saw Sascha prior to me going down for the op and she put me at ease straight away, and she even said to my husband she would give him a call once I was out to let him know how it went, and true to her word she did, when she could of just let someone else do it, or expected him to to phone the hospital for updates. That really helped put his mind at ease also. When I came around from surgery I remember Sascha trying to talk to me, but I was still groggy from the anaesthesia and wasn't making much sense, and I remember her saying to the nurses she had to go off to another hospital but she would come back and see me in the afternoon. And true to her word, she did on her way home. There are not many surgeons out there, that will take the time out of their own life to make sure you are ok and happy with how things are, and I will always be thankful to her for that. I then saw Sascha numerous times post op, for my check ups which was great as you don't often get to see your surgeon so many times post op. I had a slight complication with one of my stitches that was nothing serious, and I phoned to speak to the nurses about seeing them that day so they could check all was ok, within 10 minutes of that phone call, Sascha was ringing me herself to make sure that I was ok, and wanted to see me straight away to check for herself... Thankfully it was nothing serious, but if it had been I knew I was in great hands. All the nurses at the nuffield were absolutely brilliant also and could not fault them in anyway... And whenever I met them pre and post op they all couldn't speak any more highly of Sascha, and kept telling me how lucky I was to of found her. I think that speaks volumes. A few months ago my sister had a scare and had found a lump in one of her breasts and went to see Sascha, she instantly put her at ease and thankfully it turned out to be nothing. But when my sister said who she was seeing, I knew she was in great hands and couldn't think of a better person to look after my sister. I just want to take this opportunity to thank Sascha for absolutely everything. I really couldn't of found a better surgeon, and I feel so privileged to have met her. Thank you Sascha!

Two weeks ago I had breast cancer surgery. I want to thank all the staff at the breast care unit from reception to X-Ray to the breast care nurses, especially 'my' nurse Gemma Smith, and of course Sascha Dua who performed the operation. Everyone was helpful, caring and sympathetic to my fears. At each stage everything was explained so there was no fear of the unknown, it was very efficient in that if they said I would get a letter, I got a letter; if they said see that person and get an appointment that person gave me an appointment. Simple but it does instil confidence. I also appreciate the telephone calls I have had from the breast care nurses asking if I was OK and if I had any problems. My only suggestion of constructive criticism concerns the Day Surgery Unit which I felt could have had an office for the nurses, who were all lovely as well, to use the telephone, chat etc. It was very distracting when I was waiting for four hours for my operation and wanted to read and relax but there was constant hubbub.

Sascha Dua is truly an angel. This lady is one of the most friendly, efficient, thorough, professional and caring doctors I have ever met. I was devastated when diagnosed with breast cancer in December 2015. From my first appointment with her, she put me at ease and explained all that would happen The care I am receiving is faultless which is making a difficult time as easy as it can be. I would like to say a huge thank you to Sascha and the breast care team at the Nuffield, Brentwood.
