Mr Hemant Vakharia is kind, professional, reassuring, and caring during patient interactions. He diagnoses and treats complex conditions like endometriosis, often after patients experienced dismissive care elsewhere. Patients undergoing procedures such as myomectomy, hysteroscopy, or hysterectomy report feeling informed, supported, and confident in his expertise, valuing his clear explanations and outstanding post-operative care. Patients commend his skill in various gynaecological surgeries, particularly for endometriosis and fibroids.
I recently had surgery under Mr Vakharia’s care. He was kind, patient, professional and answered all of my questions. I felt in very safe hands!
I cannot recommend Mr Vakharia highly enough. From my very first consultation through to my hysteroscopy and Mirena coil fitting, I felt completely at ease and in exceptionally capable hands. Mr Vakharia was kind, professional and took the time to explain everything clearly, answering all of my questions with patience and reassurance. The procedure itself was much less daunting than I had anticipated, and I felt genuinely listened to and cared for throughout. His calm manner and attention to detail made what could have been an anxious experience feel straightforward and well managed. The entire team was wonderful, but Mr Vakharia's expertise and compassionate approach really stood out. I am incredibly grateful for the excellent care I received and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mr Vakharia to anyone needing gynaecological treatment. Thank you for making such a positive difference to my experience.
Mr Valharia was very reassuring and even came up to my room with me after my procedure to update my mum.
I could not be happier with my experience. Dr Vakharia was the most empathetic, proactive, and compassionate doctor. He treated my endometriosis after I had a disappointing experience with a previous specialist and made me feel heard from the very beginning. He genuinely cares about his patients, and that is evident in every aspect of the care he provides. He ensured I was well looked after in hospital, even when he wasn’t there himself. Special mention to Joana and Dr Suliman, who were amazing in checking in on me and making sure I felt supported throughout my recovery. I am incredibly grateful for the care I received and would wholeheartedly recommend Dr Vakharia to anyone seeking treatment for endometriosis. I truly believe he goes above and beyond for his patients, and I cannot thank him enough.
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!

Thank you for such a kind review, it really made our day! We're so glad to hear you had a great experience, and comments like this mean the world to me and the team. Thanks again for taking the time to share it. Best Wishes Mr Vakharia
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.

Thank you very much for leaving a review. I am delighted you have had a positive experience and wish you all the best. Kind Regards Mr Vakharia
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!

Thank you so much for this lovely review, it really means a lot to me. I'm so glad you had a great experience, feedback like this make all the hard work worthwhile. Thanks again for taking the time to share it. Kind Regards Mr Vakharia
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.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. I really appreciate it. Your feedback means a lot to us and helps us shape our service. Best Wishes Mr Vakharia
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.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed and thorough review. Your kind words really mean a lot to me. I am so pleased I was able to help and I hope you continue to experience the benefits of your procedure. Kind Regards 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

Thank you so much for leaving a review. I am really pleased I was able to help. Kind Regards Mr Vakharia
I have had the pleasure of working alongside Hemant for a number of years and I would highly recommend him. He is kind, caring, and personable, and always places his patients at the centre of his care. As a surgeon, he is highly competent, and I have complete confidence in referring patients to him.

Read articles from Mr Hemant Vakharia explaining process of procedures and other important things you should know before choosing your provider.

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?
