Mrs Isabella Karat

Written by a NHS patient at Frimley Park Hospital

I consider myself to have been extremely fortunate to have been referred to Mrs Karat. Before my first appointment I looked up her profile and could see her qualifications and experience were those of a first-rate surgeon, which gave me a lot of confidence. Early on during my first consultation, I realised that I couldn’t be in better hands. Her manner is professional, empathetic and down-to-earth. Everything was explained clearly in a language I could understand. There was no baffling of me with medical terms. She was extremely easy to talk to and answered all of my questIons. Subsequent follow-ups with Mrs Karat have shown she understands what worries her patient may have. For example on my first post-operative visit (when she had my test/biopsy results), almost the first thing she said was that it was “good news”. No keeping me hanging on and wondering. The only minor recommendation I would make is to ensure that the breast care nurses know whether or not you will return from surgery wearing a bra or not. In my case there was a difference in the advice I received from different nurses. It is a very minor point and in no way detracts from the first class care she is giving to me. It is also clear from the general atmosphere in the Frimley Breast Unit that she is very well respected amongst her colleagues. I would like to thank Mrs Karat for her skilful and compassionate care. I am very grateful.

I count myself very lucky that Mrs Karat is my consultant. She is clearly excellent at what she does and should any of my friends find themselves in an unfortunate situation of discovering they have breast cancer, I would strongly encourage them to see her. Aside from her talent, she is just the loveliest person and I always come away from seeing her feeling like I want to be her friend. She is just so down to earth and really puts you at ease.

It is truly challenging to fully express my deep appreciation for the exceptional Doctor Karat. I was referred to her clinic by General Practitioner Doctor Florida-James because of some concerns regarding breast pain. From the very beginning, I felt comfortable and confident that I was receiving excellent care. She treated me with remarkable kindness, making me feel like a member of her family, and provided all the information I needed to ease my concerns. It s not easy to be diagnosed with breast cancer but the manner she provided the diagnos was remarkable. Having received this diagnos, I found it necessary to transfer to a hospital near London for my upcoming treatment. She was instrumental in assisting me in locating the appropriate doctor, providing all the necessary tests, information, and recommendations for this new chapter. While I do feel a sense of regret about transferring to a hospital in London, the circumstances left me with no other choice. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Karat, whom I consider to be an exceptional physician. With extensive experience in healthcare, including managing my mother's complex medical needs, and having navigated numerous hospitals and clinics throughout my pregnancies and the upbringing of my three daughters, I can confidently say that she is truly remarkable. She is a blessing.
