About Miss Iranthi Meththananda

Dr Iranthi Meththananda PhD MBBS MRCOG

Consultant Gynaecologist

Specialist in Fertility, Early Pregnancy, Pelvic Pain & Advanced Gynaecological Diagnostics

Dr Iranthi Meththananda is an experienced Consultant Gynaecologist with a dual background in scientific research and clinical medicine. She is known for her calm, thoughtful approach and her commitment to ensuring patients feel fully informed and supported throughout their care.

Her clinical practice spans fertility, early pregnancy, pelvic pain, gynaecological ultrasound, and minimally invasive surgery. She brings a strong academic foundation to her work, beginning with a PhD at Barts & The London School of Medicine, where she studied microbiome development on biomaterials—an early indication of her interest in precision diagnostics and personalised care.

She completed her medical degree at University College London (UCL) in 2010, followed by the Academic Foundation Programme at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, working across Charing Cross and St Mary’s Hospitals. Dr Meththananda obtained her Membership of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (MRCOG) in 2016.

Her specialist training in obstetrics and gynaecology took place across highly regarded centres in London and Kent. During this time she undertook advanced clinical training in subfertility, early pregnancy care, general gynaecology and rapid-access clinics for suspected cancer. She was awarded a competitive fellowship in Gynaecology Diagnostics at University College London Hospital (UCLH), where she developed advanced skills in pelvic ultrasound, including imaging for endometriosis and adenomyosis, and the assessment of complex gynaecological conditions.

In 2022, Dr Meththananda was appointed Consultant in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Medway NHS Foundation Trust, where she is the Fertility Lead and provides specialist expertise in early pregnancy and acute gynaecology.

A truly exceptional consultant and Service - I cannot recommend her highly enough. I recently saw Miss Meththananda following some gynaecological symptoms, and from the moment I walked in I felt completely at ease. She has a rare quality that is hard to put into words, a warmth and calmness that immediately puts you at ease, even when you're anxious or facing something intimate and uncomfortable. She was incredibly thorough, explaining everything clearly and making sure I understood each step. When it came to a procedure during the consultation itself, I genuinely barely had time to feel nervous, she was quick, skilled, and reassuring throughout. The fact that she was able to assess and treat me in a single appointment rather than sending me away and making me wait showed real competence and care for her patients. I left feeling heard, looked after, and genuinely impressed. In a world where medical appointments can often feel rushed or clinical, Miss Meththananda manages to be both highly professional and deeply human. She is exactly the kind of doctor you hope to find. If you are looking for a consultant in obstetrics and gynaecology who combines expertise with exceptional bedside manner, look no further. Backed by an incredible team. The centre, from admin (booking/ checking in) to the supporting (clinical staff) were super lovely. Just a great service overall.

I recently had a consultation with Dr Iranthi Meththananda, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the moment we spoke, I noticed she was incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and reassuring. She took the time to thoroughly explain my condition, helping me make sense of what I had been experiencing and answering all of my questions in a clear and understandable way. She also talked me through the various treatment options available, ensuring I felt informed and confident about the next steps. What stood out most was her genuine empathy and kindness. She listened carefully, showed real understanding of my concerns, and made me feel completely supported throughout the consultation. By the end of our conversation, I felt far more positive and reassured than I had beforehand. Dr Meththananda's expertise is evident, but equally important is her ability to communicate with compassion and make patients feel at ease. I will absolutely continue my care with her, as I feel I am in very safe hands, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a gynaecologist.

My husband and I had been trying for a baby for 17 years we had tried everything including 5 rounds of IVF I had exhausted all my options the feeling of helplessness was overwhelming. I came to speak with Iranthi a while ago now and I finally was given some hope not just from a medical view but from someone who actually took the time to listen to me someone that actually cared about the way I was feeling she brought back all the hope that I had lost so many years ago, there was no promises just self belief and some confidence back I had also lost I can't describe how I felt that day after so long of not being heard! I tried letrezole and I did have to lose some weight I have pcos so weight isn't easy to manage I did go on a weight loss programme and I lost 4 stone 11lbs I had a surgical procedure which was the very last thing that could possibly help us as I had reached my ceiling of care there was nothing left! I truly believe just your patience Iranthi and the fact you listened to me and I felt heard gave me that last push I needed before losing all hope completely. I tried the letrezole which worked I fell pregnant but I unfortunately didn't go to term that pregnancy. Although there was nothing left to do for me medically I had the confidence to lose weight and somehow I fell pregnant naturally 11 months later I was no longer Iranthi's patient but when I found out I was panicking I had severe anxiety I wasn't being referred for help and I felt lost I emailed Iranthi and explained the situation she arranged to meet with me asap which I am so grateful for I need medication...

It could not have been better. She listened carefully, created an open, trusting, and supportive space, explained everything thoroughly, and left no questions unanswered. She was also genuinely attentive to aftercare following the appointment, which made me feel very well looked after throughout the entire process.

The best treatment I have ever received. I was reassured from the first appointment that I was going to get the help I needed to feel better. Very empathic, knowledgeable and proactive.

I was very well looked after by an amazing team and DR for a surgery I had recently. Everyone is so welcoming, everything is explained and you can ask as many questions as you like, also felt extremely safe under the care of the Dr who carried out my procedure. Dr Meththananda is very professional, very caring and made me feel completely safe before during and after my operation. Couldn't have asked for a smoother admission/hospital stay.
