Andy is amazing: down to earth, genuine, highly knowledgeable and empathetic. I felt completely supported under his care after being diagnosed with cervical cancer. The treatment (radical hysterectomy, ovaries and lymph nodes removal) was a lot to get my head around and I was thankful for Andy’s patience and considered responses. He has an appreciation for the psychological implications as well as the physiological for example, contacting me in advance of our next appointment as soon as the results of my PET scan came through to set my mind at ease, and performing open surgery with the smallest possible incision so the results weren’t too traumatic. As someone who likes to know the ‘why’ in order to understand the bigger picture I especially appreciated how thorough Andy is - thanks to his rounded knowledge, appreciation for the latest research, and attention to detail. In fact, I discussed his first follow up letter with a friend - the lead pain specialist nurse at the Royal Free Hospital - who commented: “brilliant, the most thorough and considerate follow up letter I’ve seen from a consultant”. I originally saw Andy as a private patient but had surgery under the NHS at the QEM as his NHS surgical list was actually quicker at the time - I appreciated having this option. If you have a gynaecological issue and you’re looking for a consultant in Kent, look no further. You’ll be thankful you found Andy.
