Mr Vakharia is proficient in managing many gynaecological conditions using minimally invasive techniques.

The care under Mr Vakharia and the entire team at the London Clinic was absolutely brilliant. I had a couple of consultations and a scan before deciding to go ahead with the laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. Throughout the process, Mr Vakharia was outstanding -- knowledgeable, professional and kind. He answered my endless questions with real patience, never making me feel rushed. He explained everything clearly and at the right level of detail, which made me feel genuinely reassured and confident in my decision. Mr Vakharia walked me through the findings immediately after the procedures, and again at a follow-up consultation ~2 weeks later (for which I am very grateful, as my memory was quite patchy so soon after the general anaesthesia) and gave advice for the next steps in my fertility journey. Thank you again Mr Vakharia and team!

Mr Vakharia is incredibly kind, he was professional and thorough in his explanation of my procedure (myomectomy). I found him to be reassuring and he really took his time to explain things to me. As this was my first surgical procedure, I was terrified but I felt safe and guided through the process.

Hemant was absolutely brilliant from the first appointment to post surgery. I saw Hemant for some surgery for endometriosis when my stage 4 had returned quite badly. He explained everything very well and in detail so I was fully aware of the process and what will be happening. He remained supportive throughout the process and always available for any queries and questions. I would recommend him and infact already have to some friends!

I was referred to Mr Vakharia with some additional complications and requiring an hysterectomy with some urgency. Mr Vakharia arranged to see me quickly. Thoroughly and clearly explained everything to me. Swiftly referred me for some further investigation and then booked me straight after for the procedure. He has been excellent throughout. So kind, reasssuring, clear and caring. I am so grateful to him and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for this procedure.

I was recently diagnosed with endometriosis unexpectedly after attending a routine gynaecology appointment. Naturally, I felt overwhelmed and anxious, especially about what this could mean for my fertility. After spending weeks researching specialists and even consulting another doctor who I did not feel confident with, I came across Mr Vakharia through recommendations and reviews, and I can honestly say every review is true. Mr Vakharia is an exceptional doctor. He is compassionate, attentive, and genuinely cares about his patients. He never made me feel dismissed regardless of my symptoms and always took the time to listen and explain everything clearly. After just one consultation, I felt completely reassured and confident proceeding with surgery under his care. I had my laparoscopy three weeks ago and the care I received before, during, and after the procedure was outstanding. Mr Vakharia personally explained the findings and treatment in a way that was clear and reassuring. I truly could not fault my experience and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an expert and caring gynaecologist. Thank you again, Mr Vakharia.

Mr Vakharia made me feel seen, heard and cared about. His explanations were extremely helpful and he always took into account my EDS which is normally ignored. I couldn’t have asked for a better consultation and surgeon! I feel very safe in his hands

I've been under the care of Dr. Vakharia for over a year now, during which I've had a number of consultations and a couple of procedures, most recently a laparoscopic removal of my endometriosis. He is a wonderful consultant, very emphatetic and personable, and best of all he really listens and takes you seriously, which is something that sadly can't be said about a lot of female health professionals in my experience. I would highly recommend him.

Dr Vakharia provided excellent care during my recent surgery. His professionalism, skill and calm reassurance made a real difference to me and I felt completely confident in his hands throughout the process. He showed kindness and attention to me before and after the procedure, as did his team. It helped ease any worries and made the whole experience much more comfortable. I felt informed at all times and had all my questions answered with clarity by Mr Vakharia and his great team.

Very knowledgeable doctor in his field, and doing what needs to be done. I had laparoscopic operation done by Dr Vskharia and everything was done very neat, I had fibroids removal, quite large and many of them, everything went according to a treatment plan and I was healing much quicker, after 2 weeks I was able to resume my normal activities. I can't recommend Dr Vskharia enough. It worth every penny.

“Endometriosis pain during sex is excruciating – how can I have a normal sex life?”

The average waiting time for an endometriosis diagnosis may be over eight years, but once you’ve got that, it’s likely to be another 18 months before you have surgery. In the meantime, women are struggling to work, exercise, socialise and maintain a normal sex life. So, what does that mean for our pleasure and fertility?
