I found Sophie, while very professional, incredibly easy to talk to. She was forthcoming with detailed information, and was extremely helpful in responding to my barrage of questions regarding the various options open to me. It was very helpful to have such clear and detailed responses - regardless of whether it was the answer I'd been hoping for. After reflection on my way home from the appointment I was completely clear which option was the best for me.

Sophie was attentive but thorough and gave me excellent peace of mind after my consultation and examination. She took time to explain points which will help me ensure I feel well informed in the future and take away some of the anxiety I had. I was concerned I was wasting her time, but she assured me I was not. Her letter back to my GP was comprehensive and quickly available after the appointment.

Having lost my mother to breast cancer, I have a fear of the same thing happening. I was referred to Miss Helme who took the time to listen, ask questions and make sure I had an ultrasound on the same day. Helen, Miss Helmes secretary is also brilliant.

I was first seen by Miss Helme in 2022 to discuss a Breast Lift/Reduction. I received clear and concise information and was given honest expectations of what could and could not be achieved from the surgery. I went ahead with the surgery in June of 2022 and almost a year on I could not be any happier with the results. The surgery has transformed my bust shape and I have so much confidence now. I received lovely treatment from all staff at The Spire Hospital and would recommend Miss Helme and Spire to others. Thank you so much.

I thought I might be wasting Miss Helme’s time, but she listened to me and asked me questions and she asked her nurse to take me round for a mammogram and ultrasound to be done immediately. I cannot recommend highly enough.

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.
