Reviews
I work at Spire and having had a full health check I was found to have a lump in my breast. I went straight to see who I could have a consultation with and was advised Sophie Helme was the best person to see. On the day of my appointment I saw her, had a mammogram and an ultrasound scan and got the results all clear all within 2 hours. Everything was done with the utmost empathy and kindness and I would thoroughly recommend both Sophie and Spire Hospital to any lady experiencing breast concerns.
Sophie is exceptionally attentive, kind and professional. After a worrying GP appointment, I made an appointment at the Spire. Sophie did not dismiss my concerns and completely reassured me. I would highly recommend Sophie and would definitely return if the need arises.
Thank you Sophie.
I found Miss Helme to be professional, caring, understanding and thorough in her examination and explanation of my procedure for breast reduction. My operation went very well and I was even able to go home that evening. I made a good recovery and am extremely pleased with the outcome of my surgery. And the impact on my new found confidence. Miss Helme and her support team at The Spire were all very friendly and caring and made me feel at ease and in safe hands. I would definitely recommend Miss Helme.
I was able to see Sophie Helme with less than 24 hours notice after I detected a large lump in my breast.
She understood I was self funding and I was offered the breast package being told clearly what I would receive within that.
The service and care I received from both Sophie and the rest of the team at The Spire was excellent.
She is professional, calm but empathic too. At know point did she make a suggestion that she did not follow up and when she said she would chase up something she did each time.
At a difficult time with my diagnosis I felt she cared and was thinking of my best outcome.
I would have every confidence to recommend Sophie Helme.
I was feeling rather edgy due to having a very red, sore left breast. I tried to get a GP appointment with little result. Decided to find a private appt with Spire and Dr. SOPHIE HELME. The whole experience was exceptional. I will see her again at the beginning of November. Thank you

Profile
I understand the anxiety and emotional stresses breast problems can cause. I therefore centre my practice around listening to patient's concerns, addressing and investigating them if necessary and providing a clear and individualised solution. I aspire to do this is a friendly, open and sympathetic setting so that my patients really feel that they have had had a chance to be listened to.
I have had somewhat unusual training as I received specialist fellowship training in both oncoplastic breast surgery as well as cosmetic surgery. I use this training to individually tailor my approach for breast operations. I was awarded the Gold medal for excellence for my FRCS surgical examinations for achieving the highest mark nationally in 2012. I have worked as a consultant breast and endocrine surgeon at Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth since 2015 which has one of the busiest breast units in the country.
