I cannot recommend Sally Watkinson highly enough. From my experience, she is not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but also compassionate, reassuring and genuinely dedicated to her patients. Navigating fibroids and fertility treatment can be an incredibly emotional and overwhelming experience, particularly when you are trying to make important decisions about your future. Throughout my journey, Sally has helped me feel listened to, supported and reassured at a time when I have had so many questions and concerns. What I appreciate most about Sally is her ability to combine her medical expertise with a genuinely caring and understanding approach. She takes the time to consider your individual circumstances, explain things and help you understand the options available to you. You never feel as though your concerns are insignificant or that you are simply another patient. For me, her reassurance has meant more than I can fully express. When you are facing uncertainty and carrying so much hope for the future, having a specialist who helps you feel heard and gives you renewed confidence makes an enormous difference. Sally has helped me hold on to hope and feel more positive about the journey ahead. I am truly grateful for her knowledge, her professionalism and the care she has shown me. Fertility journeys are deeply personal, and having someone who approaches yours with such understanding and dedication is invaluable. Thank you, Sally, for the difference you have made to my journey so far. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking expert, compassio...

I was extremely nervous about having my Mirena coil fitted, but I honestly had no need to be. From the moment I arrived, the doctor was so kind, gentle and reassuring. She explained everything clearly and completed the procedure incredibly quickly and smoothly. What impressed me most was how gentle she was throughout. I had built it up in my mind for weeks, but she made the whole experience far easier than I expected. It was obvious that she is exceptionally skilled and experienced at what she does. I've suffered with painful periods for most of my life, and after years of not having answers, she was the first doctor to finally diagnose the underlying problem. That alone has made such a difference to me and made me feel heard and understood. I can't thank her enough for her professionalism, compassion and expertise. I would highly recommend her to anyone, especially if you're feeling anxious about having a coil fitted. In fact I have recommended Sally to quite a few of my friends and they have gone on to see her and were so happy with her service.

I have been under the care of many gynaecologists in relation to endometriosis and other issues, Miss Watkinson was the first consultant who did not question me nor make me feel as though I was making things up. She listened to me, assured me and treated me. I cannot express how grateful I am, and how much I appreciated her kindness and support throughout my treatment. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, supportive and professional consultant.

Sally Watkinson has been looking after me for over 6 years after finding i had fibroids amongst other issues. Her knowledge and professionalism is fabulous as well as her compassionate and kind and genuine caring manner. Sally performed my hysterectomy and i knew i was in good hands. I now want to carry on having an annual check with her as i know i can trust that my health will be well cared for.

I cannot recommend Ms Watkinson highly enough! I first had the good fortune of meeting her many years ago when I sought a second opinion after a previous surgery (by someone else) had gone wrong. She was able to repair everything, and I have been incredibly grateful ever since. Throughout every appointment and meeting, Ms Watkinson has been outstanding. She always takes the time to listen to my concerns, explains everything thoroughly, and ensures I feel informed and reassured every step of the way. As someone with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), finding a surgeon who truly understands the condition is invaluable. Ms Watkinson took additional precautions to account for my hypermobility and fragile tissues, giving me complete confidence that I was receiving the best possible care. I would recommend her to anyone with EDS looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate gynaecologist. I am so thankful that our paths crossed, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Ms Watkinson to anyone seeking exceptional care.

It is so refreshing to receive a consultation where all your symptoms are fully taken into consideration in order to gain an overall picture of your Gynaecological health. This in turn then leads you to feel totally confident with the recommended treatment pathway. Ms Watkinson’s diagnosis & subsequent care have been excellent & a real game changer for me, for which I am truly grateful. Thank You.

I had an ongoing pain in my left ovary and I had tried to get this sorted through my GP, however no one could explain why I was experiencing the pain and what was causing it. Sally on the other hand explained exactly what was happening and why I was experiencing it and also gave great advice about other topics that I just wasn't receiving from my GP. I highly recommend Sally, she is lovely, she genuinely cares and is very passionate about what she does. Thank you for helping me.

Ms Watkinson made me feel so at ease and so understood. As someone with severe anxiety who has also been shut down and dismissed by so many medical professionals, Ms Watkinson made me feel so heard.
