Miss Tilottama Nandy 2023-12-11 Person 5 5 0

I was on the fast-track pathway for possible ovarian cancer and Dr Nandy was my consultant/surgeon at St Thomas’ and Guy’s NHS Trust. She put me at ease straight away with her warmth and approachability. I felt I very comfortable with her when we shared a laugh and was pleased I was seeing a woman consultant. She took great care to explain what the next steps would be and answered my questions with patience and clarity. It was decided that a prophylactic total hysterectomy would be the best solution to my post-menopausal problems and I was added to her surgery list. I was extremely happy to see her smiling face on the day of my operation. She went through the procedure with me and made me feel at ease about what was to happen. I must also thank the anaesthesia team who calmed my anxiety and dealt with what became a slightly stressful situation with such kindness. I was discharged the following day but Dr Nandy rang me the following week to see how I was – a lovely personal touch which made me feel she actually cared. My histology follow-up appointment was arranged within weeks of my surgery which put me at ease. In fact all of the people I dealt with including the admin staff, nursing staff and Dr Nandy in the McNair Centre and those in the St Thomas’ day surgery unit and gynaecology ward were caring, kind and kept me informed. I am now 9 weeks post-op with barely any scars and feel much better. Thank you for everything. PS Re the I identify with question. I don't identify as female. I am female.
