Dr Veronica is a Consultant Oncoplastic and Reconstructive Breast Surgeon who has practised in the NHS and in the private sector. Prior to joining Mediclinic she was a substantive Consultant and Clinical Lead of the Breast Surgery Unit at Princess Alexandra Hospital NHS Trust. She is a board certified Oncoplastic Breast Surgeon and boasts 20 years' experience and over 7000 operations performed. Her interest in innovation and the progression of research within her field has encouraged Dr Veronica to attend local and international conferences, appearing as a guest speaker at a number of these events. This desire to constantly learn from professionals around her has resulted in a very high level of expertise within her specialty, offering her patients the latest and best treatment.
Dr Veronica graduated and obtained her speciality in General Surgery at the prestigious University of Milan. During her training she spent time at the CHBT in Guadeloupe and Hopital Jean Verdier in Paris, as well as training in some of the best hospitals in Italy (National Institute of Cancer, Policlinico di Milano, Modena liver transplant centre). After moving to the UK in 2008, Veronica continued her training in Oncoplastic, attending hospitals such as Guy's and St Thomas, Broomfield and Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham and Burton where she obtained the fellowship in Oncoplastic Breast Surgery (OBS). She became a Consultant in OBS in 2014 at King's College Hospital, London, before moving to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in 2016. Her training and career path allowed her to gain a vast experience and to develop excellent surgical skills building on her innate dexterity. She has a keen interest in teaching and innovation and enjoys clinical research, with published articles in peer reviewed journal and national and international presentation.
Dr. Veronica follows her patient throughout the whole journey from the diagnosis to the discussion of the best options and regular follow up when required. She offers her patients a collaborative approach, putting each patient at ease and giving them the knowledge to choose the best and safest surgical procedures that minimise the physical and psychological impact of the disease, particularly thanks to her skill in breast conserving surgery, due to her inclination to produce the best results for her patients. She also offers breast lipomodelling, a technique used to correct volume defects after breast conserving surgery and to improve shape and cosmesis after mastectomy and implant-based reconstruction (composite reconstruction). This technique was implemented while in France at the Institute du Sein, in Paris.

Dr Grassi was very professional and very knowledgeable on every step of the diagnosis and procedure. I had every trust in Dr Veronica as I was made fully aware of every step during the procedure as to what to expect. Dr Veronica visited me in the ward after the procedure to ensure I was recovering well and comfortable and many follow ups were scheduled to ensure smooth recovery and healing. Thankyou so much the procedure and healing of the wound was so streamlined. I truly felt in the best hands Thankyou Dr Veronica and Parkview Hospital

Doctor Veronica is very professional, she always provides the best advice and recommendations in any given circumstances, she cares for the well-being of the patient and even in the beginning when giving the news of the breast cancer was not easy, she was straightforward, methodical in her approach and provided the right confidence that I was very well taken care off. I trust her advice and I am very happy I have chosen her to manage my treatment and recovery. She is amazing

There’s no words to express enough Dr. Veronica Grassi. She the a great human, she’s caring, considerate, shows a lot of empathy, treats you with respect and answers all your concerns and questions, she’s professional and she’s flexible to your requests and worries. I would follow her to any hospital she would choose to work in. I recommend her to everyone for everything she is, specially for her down to earth personality and her ability to make you feel cared for.
I will be forever thankful that I had the pleasure of having dr. Veronica Grassi as my breast surgeon. She has a lot of knowledge, experience and cares about her patients. She is also very kind and listened to my wishes. I had double skin and nippel sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction and targeted axillary dissection. She was able to remove only 3 lymph node’s through the same incision under my breast. Now 1 week post surgery, I feel amazing and my breasts look so beautiful. Not only did she an excellent job on the medical part, she also did an fantastic job on the cosmetic part and left me still feeling beautiful about myself.
Dr Veronica has been godsent to me. She is an extremely gifted doctor. My surgery with her went better than I ever could have imagined. The results she achieved are excellent.
