I received a shock BRCA 1 diagnosis in July this year. From my first appointment with Miss Franks, I knew I’d found the right surgeon for me. Not only is Miss Franks incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, authoritative and highly experienced - she’s human too, displaying warmth, kindness and empathy. The whole process from diagnosis to bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction has been seamless under her care and guidance. She and her team have taken on the burden of making sure I speak to the correct people (from geneticist to psychologist) and making all arrangements. At what is an incredibly scary, daunting and overwhelming time, having Miss Franks looking after me and figuratively holding my hand has been sanity saving. She is an incredibly rare combination of clinical excellence and skill, professionalism and compassion. I feel so lucky to have been under her exceptional care.

I was referred following an unclear routine mammogram. The care I received from Mr Devalia and his team at the breast clinic was outstanding.

After going through a mastectomy and a failed implant through another surgeon, I came to see Mr Ramsey to try and find a solution for the long term. Mr Ramsey gave me the confidence and reassurance from our first meeting and I am pleased to say he delivered exceptional results - and surpassed my expectations. He is extremely calm and patient and he made the whole experience positive and focused on my wishes and getting me back to where I was before the diagnosis. I wouldnt hesitate in recommending Mr Ramsey to anyone - he is extremely knowledgable and achieves incredible results with a very collaborative approach to take into account what the patient wants.

I arranged an online video interview with Dr Susanna Unsworth at the Cambridge Womens Clinic in Cambridge in November 2023 following a recommendation by a friend and after reading the book ‘Oestrogen Matters’ by Dr Avrum Bluming and Carol Tabriz, PhD. I had been advised by a few medics over the latter few years that I’d have to come off HRT at some point as I’d no longer need it, which advice did not make sense after my understanding of the natural decline of oestrogen at menopause with its resultant problems, and of its importance to women following menopause to maintain cognitive health, bone density and cardiovascular issues. My current regime of HRT had served me well over the years but through my reading of more up to date information I was made aware of an alternative and improved combination. After an unsuccessful initial attempt to reach out to a GP (not my own) who said that I should expect to experience bleeding, I reached out to Dr Susanna Unsworth. The hour long video appointment was better than I could have expected. Dr Susanna is immensely easy to talk to and answered all my questions and worries. I felt relaxed and above all reassured on every level about changing my HRT to a more current healthy combination. I highly recommend her invaluable advice.

Welcoming and personable. Clear explanations and follow up suggestions.

I have had surgery with Mr Al Mufti twice in past 12 years and both times found it as good an experience as possible. He explains everything in a very clear manner, he manages expectations, is very caring and considerate and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

Excellent consultant. Very professional and Caring. Excellent bedside manners.

You know you are in good hands from the moment you first meet Mr Nanidis. I was extremely nervous about having DIEP surgery but he puts you at ease, explains the procedure very well and has an excellent bedside manner. He also checks on you often straight after the surgery and through the follow ups. Amazingly I didn't have to have drains and the quality and neatness of the surgery is exceptional. I couldn't recommend him more highly.

Very attentive & explained everything in detail. Very calm & knowledgeable

My only difficulty in conveying my opinion of Kieran Power is finding the right words to express just how amazing a surgeon he is. This was after two previous reconstruction attempts had left me in a sorry state. I had been told it was in fact a “satisfactory result” because I could hide it in a bra (!) and there was not much else that could be done to help me. I was devastated and disfigured but my sister, a nurse, urged me to get a second opinion. From the moment I first met Kieran, I felt totally safe. He immediately reassured me that he could help me. His gentle manner is incredibly calming and I cannot express how much it meant to be treated with such kindness and respect after my previous experiences. This served to significantly reduce my anxieties from the start (and I had hitherto been treated for PTSD in connection with previous medical related traumatic experiences and my previous unsatisfactory cancer recon surgeries). I knew I was in safe hands and that this was a surgeon I could trust. His integrity and skill are outstanding. My surgery and recovery all went very well and I received wonderful care (Donna, his secretary, is just brilliant!). I have since shared photos of my recon with other breast cancer patients and they always say “wow, I want your surgeon!” I had just about given up even daring to hope that I might ever be able to feel vaguely happy about my body again after cancer but Kieran is a real life genius surgeon - I am eternally grateful to him. This Summer I pranced around in a bikini on the beach actually feeling confident I think!?!
