Bidmead diagnosed by endometriosis and was the first person to take my pain seriously, BUT he subsequently gaslit me, minimised my pain, and fed me misinformation. After my surgery with Bidmead, my pain became relentless and chronic. I had to have surgery again a year later with a more qualified surgeon, who actually knew what he was talking about, and only after this second surgery, during which more endometriosis was found that Bidmead had missed, did I finally begin to feel better. After my surgery with him, Bidmead caused me severe depression and anxiety, and led me to feel suicidal, after he gaslit me, denied my pain was endometriosis and stuck to misinformed, unscientific notions about how the contraceptive pill interacts with the disease. I think women are very vulnerable at first, going into their first surgery – I was so so grateful just to have a diagnosis. It was utterly heartbreaking to be treated so poorly by someone who I thought was my way out of horror of undiagnosed pain, someone who I thought was an endometriosis expert who could actually help me.

Finally, after 12 years of back and forth to the doctor, John Bidmead took the time to listen and diagnose Endo. He communicated all options in a calm manner and didn’t patronise/belittle. He was extremely positive throughout and put me at ease. Would highly recommend.

I had the good fortune to be looked after by M. Bidmead when I needed Gynae surgery. He listened to me, performed various tests and together we decided what action to take. He is a fantastic surgeon and I can honestly say that his surgery has totally changed things for me, for the better, my condition has improved greatly. He is thorough and diligent and I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Caring empathic and listened exactly to what I was asking - he then remembered the details for the operation I thoroughly recommend

Dr Bidmead has helped me tremendously with my severe endometriosis. He carefully listened to my needs and performed a very successfully laparoscopy to remove a large cyst and severe endo which had spread all over on the left-hand side of my pelvic without removing my ovary or tube. I have not experienced pain since my surgery and I truly believe he has improved the quality of my life, the follow ups have been very efficient and helpful. Thank you for everything!
