Miss Sandwell completed her undergraduate medical degree at University College London and specialist training in Obstetrics and Gynaecology across London and the South East. She pursued advanced postgraduate training in minimal access surgery, focusing on the surgical treatment of endometriosis and fibroids, and uses ultrasound to support surgical planning when necessary.

Alongside her clinical practice, Miss Sandwell is dedicated to medical education, contributing to the training of future specialists and regularly speaking at professional meetings, including those organised by the British Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (BSGE) and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG).

Her subspecialties include gynaecology and laparoscopic (key-hole) surgery. She performs a wide range of procedures, such as hysterectomy, myomectomy, fibroid surgery, diagnostic laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, fertility preservation, and menopause management.

My experience with Dr Sandwell was truly exceptional. I was nervous but she listened to me very carefully and quickly has put me at ease. She was very attentive to my needs and explained brilliantly and concisely how they could be addressed giving me different options. As we ran out of time she has offered to see me the same day after all her scheduled appointments to make a scan. She was also very prompt and helpful in scheduling a necessary follow up procedure. She has even found the time in her busy schedule to answer a set of questions I've send to her in meantime. All of this has made me feel in a good pair of professional hands. It is a rare experience when the doctor is ready to go extra mile to help a vulnerable patient.

Dr Jo is an exceptionally kind, compassionate doctor. Unlike a lot of people who work in this field, she is very human in her approach and understands that patients might have difficulty emotionally with what is a really sensitive thing to talk about. She is also ridiculously skilled and has an intricate knowledge of gynaecology and especially endometriosis. She listened to me, took loads of time and made me feel like she really cared about getting the best outcome for me. If I need any further help I will without a doubt be back. Highly recommended!

I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Sandwell. From the moment I met her, she was incredibly welcoming and reassuring, immediately putting me at ease. Dr Sandwell took the time to clearly explain the entire procedure, answering all my questions and alleviating any concerns I had. Her clear explanations and calm demeanor left me feeling completely reassured. I'm so grateful for her care and already feel significantly better after our conversation.
