I recently had a hysterectomy after suffering for over 30 years with heavy and painful bleeds. My journey from the first consultation up to my discharge from hospital was made smooth and a lot less stressful because of Mr Minas’s thorough and thoughtful ways. He explained all the treatment options, their pros and cons and allowed me to choose what was right for me. He followed each consultation with a very detailed letter documenting all our discussions. With a medical history that still has a stigma attached to it and evidence of FGM I was quite anxious how he would feel about operating on me but he was very gracious and focused on my presenting problem. Mr Minas did what was right for me not what was easy and for that I am eternally grateful. Even with the complications he faced during my operation, he soldiered on to ensure he completed the surgery as planned. Thank you Mr Minas

I was so super impressed by Dr Minas bedside manner and care as a doctor, it was really refreshing and comforting to have a doctor who takes the time to walk through history and details and concerns as well as options. He sent me a fully detailed summary report recording all details and the way forward. He walked through all my blood tests explaining them to me. He should be given an award for Doctor of the year! All doctors have something to learn from his thoroughness and professionalism and fabulous standard of great client care. He wasn't timid to look up details he needed nor to take notes during the session which helped me feel cared for and thought through all results and covered anything that was potentially questionable.

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.
