Mr Vasileios Minas

I recently had laparoscopic surgery at the BMI Runnymede for Endometriosis. I have dealt with this disease for over 20-years and have had multiple surgeries in the past where it has been lasered. This time round with a bad flare up of pain, I made the decision to go private as I just could not cope with the NHS waitlist, and I'm glad I did as then Covid hit! This was the first time I have ever had surgery with an Endo specialist. I highly recommend Mr Minas, and cannot express enough how important it is to have surgery for this disease done by a specialist of his calibre! He is one of the most compassionate, understanding, caring, professional and patient doctors I have ever dealt with. From the moment I first spoke with him about my pain he showed great empathy and I warmed to him immediately. He always took the time to explain things clearly to me, and never rushed me despite the list of questions I would go through. Mr Minas the time to ensure you have all the facts and listens carefully to what YOU want and talks through your options, helping YOU decide what is best for YOU. My surgery was complex and lasted two and a half hours, and I could not have been in safer hands throughout. I know I have a long recovery ahead of me, but I already feel better for what he has done, including removal of a badly diseased ovary and tube. His knowledge and expertise around Endometriosis is superb and his treatment throughout has been first class, and nothing is too much trouble. He's answered all my questions along the way, and always comes back to me if I have more. I have never trusted a medical professional as much as I do Mr Minas, and wish I had found him years ago.

After 8 months of messing around with the NHS I transferred to private care. . Mr Minas dealt with me professionally and went out of his way to discuss the procedure and possibilities. Even called from his holiday! His care and follow ups have been genuine. Tidy wound sites!

I was passed on to Mr Minas last minute after my problems got worse while I was waiting for a date for my surgery. When appointments rang me saying we have received a letter from your GP to fast track your surgery, we can do it but under a different consultant as the consultant you have been seeing has no available appointments soon l was devastated but I couldn’t say no as l was desperate. The day of my surgery Mr Minas cam to see me in admissions and it was the first time we were meeting. I was very nervous and disappointed too that I was seeing him for the first time and there was a lot of stuff that l had discussed with the previous consultant that l wanted to make sure had been passed on to him. As we sat discussing it was clear that not everything had been passed on to him so he said to me l will do my very best to address all your problems but l may run out of time and therefore l may not be able to do everything. He said those words without knowing what was waiting for him. There were complications with my surgery, in admissions he told me l would be in theatre for about one and half hours but Mr Minas stood in that theatre for 8 hours and addressed all that l was concerned about and all the unexpected problems encountered. The after surgery care l have been given by this man is second to none. My surgery was long, complex and complicated and so did recovery. I couldn’t have asked for a better consultant, l am even so grateful and indebted to him and the team he worked with that day. Hope my message will be passed on to him so he can know how much l appreciate what he did for me, he didn’t have to go ahead with this surgery as it took him out of his comfort zone, he could have closed me up and pass me on to someone else who specialises in the problem he encountered with me then ask me to return to him at a later date but no he did what he had to do. I am forever so grateful to him. Thank you!!
