Reviews
Mr Minas was amazing, I wish I had found him a couple of years ago when I first had to see a gynaecology consultant. I had loads of questions and he answered them all, even if it took a little extra time, he was always super kind, patient, and reassuring. I was fully informed on every aspect of the surgery I needed, upsides and downsides, which helped allay my concerns. The surgery went according to plan (including extremely neat & minimal scars), and Mr Minas followed up afterwards to ensure everything was okay. I am very grateful for his efforts and very much recommend him as a consultant and surgeon.
Mr Minas put me at my ease immediately. He was extremely thorough and made sure he had all the information needed plus allowed me to voice extra concerns. He made sure my husband and I understood the situation and all our options and explained everything in detail. He was respectful of our wishes and made sure he understood our priorities. From the initial consultation to the aftercare Mr Minas was always available to us and we felt extremely supported.

It's important for me to leave a heartfelt review to express my deepest gratitude for the exceptional level of care and support Mr Minas and his team provided during my recent surgery for endometriosis. Words can't adequately convey the immense appreciation I feel for his remarkable skills as a surgeon!
Three months after having a 10-hour surgery, I feel fantastic! I'm almost completely pain-free, I have my energy back, I started going to pilates 6-weeks post op, and now I'm back to swimming too; I can go on long walks with my dog, and I can get through each day without dozens of painkillers, heat pads, TENS machine, etc. Mr Minas has given me my life back.
I've just returned from my follow-up consultation with Mr Minas and he showed me so much genuine kindness and compassion. He took the time to listen to any questions or concerns I had, and he truly cared about how my recovery was. His dedication to ensuring the best possible outcome for me was evident. Throughout this process, I've felt incredibly fortunate to be under the care of such a skilled consultant, and even luckier to get this level of care on the NHS.
I highly recommend Mr Minas, he's a true expert/magician in endometriosis!
Mr Minas is worth his weight in gold! He is hands down the best consultant, and indeed medical professional I have ever dealt with. His knowledge is second to none, and it is no surprise he is highly respected in his field. He has dedicated his professional life to the cause, and I for one am truly grateful.
Having suffered with with heavy bleeding and chronic pelvic pain most of my adult life, I’ve had previous failed surgeries for endometriosis, and a recent hysterectomy abandoned due to complications which required a specialist referral. Endometriosis is a commonly misunderstood disease, even in the medical world, and having spent years researching and becoming my own advocate; I knew my new diagnosis of deep infiltrating endometriosis was severe and would require the best surgeon to remove all of the disease.
My research told me me Mr Minas was the man for the job! Unfortunately for me he is based 150 miles away from where I live. However, Mr Minas was incredibly accommodating of this and from the moment I made contact with his office I felt confident I was in good hands.
Communication was easy and I had my face to face consultation 2 weeks later. Mr Minas made me feel instantly at ease. He never once doubted my pain. His knowledge and expertise is truly remarkable and was incredibly reassuring for me. He is confident and professional in his approach and this teamed with his friendly and personable manner makes him the exceptional doctor he is.
I had my surgery 28th April, total laparoscopic hysterectomy and excision of large endometriosis nodule. I could not have felt in safer hands. Mr Minas was available to speak to both before and after the procedure. He explained everything, and made sure I was comfortable throughout. He shows genuine care and interest in his patients and remains available to speak to should I have any questions. It’s early days in my recovery but I’m feeling really good, better than I have in years and hopeful for a pain free future. I will be forever grateful to Mr Minas for his care, and I would recommend him to anyone suffering from endometriosis or similar conditions.
