Miss Sascha Dua

Written by a patient at Broomfield Hospital

One of the best decisions I have made in my life was to go to Broomfield Hospital for my mammogram which, this time, showed the dreaded white spot. From that moment it was all systems go and I came under the care of Ms. Sascha Dua and her breast care team. I was given the option on what procedure I would prefer and I opted for a wide section for the cancer with a reduction on the other breast for symmetry. After the op. Sascha was able to assure me that all had gone well and I was all clear. The surgery was excellent and I experienced no pain and little to no discomfort. Most of all the cancer was gone and I had a new shape, a new body. The whole breast care team at Broomfield from the mammogram nurses, doctors and aftercare nurses have been so caring, cheerful and informative (friends for life) and of course, bubbly Sascha Dua, my team leader, who is so positive, straightforward, kind and a very, very skilled surgeon. As I say, to opt for Broomfield Hospital Breast Care Unit headed by Ms. Sascha Dua was the best decision I have so far made in my life.

Once I received the diagnosis of Breast Cancer it was devastating for me and my family. It was by chance that I was introduced to Sacha, my original consultant was on holiday, we clicked straightaway, I felt very very comfortable with Sacha , she was the person who gave me confidence and was someone who would do everything in their power to give me the best surgical procedures for me. I am in awe of her skills and hope that Sacha is able to treat many many more people and I am sure they will experience the same feelings of confidence that I am experiencing in my on-going treatment. thank you Sacha :-)

My mum was seen by Sascha at what was the most difficult day of all our lives. She'd had a diagnosis she never expected the same day and was in pieces by time we saw Sascha in the evening. I am forever grateful for mums first appointment with Sascha, Sascha was like a breath of fresh air when we all felt we were suffocating. Sascha spoke to my mum honestly, but with so much care. She explained the surgery mum would need, and treatment after, she listened to our concerns, and answered all our questions. By time Sascha was done with mum, mum had a smile back on her face, felt completely reassured, and although understandably nervous about surgery, she was confident in Sascha. Surgery went really well, and mum has been left with minimal scars, minimal pain and discomfort and is healing really well. More importantly Mums biopsy results confirmed Sascha had removed all the nastys in one surgery. It was also reassuring during the whole process that Sascha is highly thought of amongst her fellow colleagues, and is spoken of highly, with one of them commenting that the fact my mum had full range of movement in her arm on Sascha providing her with excellent surgery. I would highly recommend Sascha, she manages to be professional, but with a caring, bubbly, friendly, nature which is very rare. I'm sure she is thanked regularly by patients, but a Thank You doesn't seem enough for what she has done for my mum. I cannot thank her enough from the bottom of my heart, and we feel like we owe her the world right now. We are forever grateful, and would highly recommend Sascha.

I was very pleased at my recent visit to the Breast Unit at Broomfield Hospital, when I was called through at (or slightly before) my appointed time. On previous visits, there have been anxious delays in a crowded waiting room. Miss Dua gave me to understand that efforts have been made to deal with the problem of excessive waiting, in response to comments received from patients. Miss Dua always seems friendly, approachable and willing to answer any questions I might have to ask.

Dr Dua showed great compassion when dealing with my breast cancer she was very positive and made me feel really confident for the future. She carried out my surgery and I had minimal discomfort and my scar is barely visible whenever I see her she always puts me at ease she has made what has been a difficult time of life easier to cope with all in all an excellent doctor. The breast unit at Broomfield is a excellent advert for the NHS and I really don't see how they could improve just carry on the good work.
